Controlling Doepfer modular synth with a Wiimote

This video is about controlling a modular synth with Nintendo's wiimote gamepad, using Doepfer A-100, Doepfer MCV24, Wiimote and computer.
Softwares used are Bluesoleil, Glovepie and midiox.

This video is not an artistic demonstration but a technical explanation of this system (that can be used for making music ofc).
Musical jams and stuff coming soon...

Thanks for watching and sorry for approximative english.

Vous êtes de l'ircam ou quoi ?^^ c'est vraiment barré ce genre de dispositif, Peff de chez propellerheads soft utilise carrément son iphone comme controler et utilise des CV de reason avec la sortie audio de ça carte motu ^^

blague à part les petits modules de chez doepfer m'interresse énormément pour la création sonore, je me demande comment ont peux convertir le midi d'un clavier midi standard en CV pour joué des notes monophonic ou polyphonic avec ce genre de dispositif.

Aucun lien avec l'Ircam ... du moins pour le moment =)

Plusieurs interfaces disponibles pour convertir le Midi en CV. Par exemple chez Doepfer (j'utilise le MCV24 qui n'est plus fabriqué) ou chez mfb ou Kenton ...

J'suis à Paris si tu veux une démo...

[mynmyself]

are you using a basic system by doepfer? or is it a custom one?

[DamagedMeat]

It's a custom system. The only modules you can't find in a basic system are the A188 BBD delay, the A106 extreme filter and the A199 spring reverb.

This MIDI/CV interface however, is different (much more complexe) from the one used in some basic systems. And unfortunately, it is discontinued... but there are other midi/cv interfaces you can use to do the same and Doepfer will soon release another one to replace the MCV24.

funny, creative, artistic, "technologic", complex and nice, but i think it's just to have fun, not actually to create music.

specially coz it sounds like crap.

anyways nice music.

hope some nintendo developers make this on a game. it 'd be really cool

maybe a dj'ing software would be really cool too

[DamagedMeat]

Hehe,

It can sound like whatever you want it to sound like as the modular synth possibilities are endless. This is a demo so I tried to use the gamepad as much as possible but in more musical applications, I don't use it that way. I believe in many cases (EG driving filters or triggering envelopes) it is much more musical and intuitive than the standard electronic instruments controlers that are potentiometers, joysticks or keyboards.

Wiimote is great for DJing and VJing !

Txs for your comment
