N.B. Some of the routines obtained here were partly inspired -- in their content and esthetic -- by turntablists Qbert and D-styles . Although nothing can rival real vinyl manipulation by experts, a personal adaptation of these techniques on Handsonic makes imagine new ways in real time electronics.

excellent, as usual. that Biscuit is something else. Have you tried it on the Wavedrum yet?

[odiolorgnette]

@tablaninja yes I tried quickly but Biscuit & wavedrum are not very friendly together ... the output level of the wavedrum is "so weak" that I really wonder what kind of fx/filter it can feed for electronic manipulation... Cheers!

i see its been asked already and unanswered, but what is the pink pad?! I'm very enthusiastic about sound exploration, right now using an hpd 10, some effects pedals, and some creativity. Thank you for your videos though! Very inspiring!

did you mod ur hpd15 or is that a different machine? how did you get the red pad? i am just getting into the hpd 15...im usin it with a band called echos talk back we are are trying to bring more of the dance sounds and ddgital effects to fill out the music and trip it out more! i have had t for three days feel like its going to mold me into a whole new place! i got it to replace my congos the trace sounds shake ur chakras like a mo fo so im super excited to actually figure this thing out!
