Technical note: I am aware my controller is not shaped like a guitar.. It is the sound I feel is the most important.

Wow! This is so great. I wonder if the bass sound is a plug or is it for real?

[DrRyman]

@DrawbarPete

Hi Pete,

The bass is a real bass, and the cut is by the bassist Baron Chase.

Thanks and glad you enjoyed!

0:19 I notice that you tend to wiggle around the key that you're holding down when you're playing while using the mod wheel. They keyboard doesn't respond to those horizontal forces (that is the wiggling motion) applied to the keys, does it? If not, they should make a keyboard that does. Almost like a haken continuum. It'd do mod and pitch bend at the same time. :)

Hi WD103 ,

Yes, very perceptive, actually one of the reasons I use this big controller instead of a smaller one or "keytar"

is that this series of controllers from Novation has "aftertouch". So the the keyboard does respond to those wiggles after the note, I have the aftertouch assigned to modulation as well as the mod wheel. The modulation is determined by pressure applied after the note is struck. This give me a very live way to "shake" a note musically as i play.

Cheers,Dr R

[WhiteDragon103]

@DrRyman Ooohh. So THAT's what aftertouch is.

[DrRyman]

@WhiteDragon103

yes it can be assigned to most anything.. sustain is good too..

But it makes keyboards heavier and more expensive as well.

[peaceman08]

It strums!

it feeds back!

it has harmonics..

It bends strings... ( they even squeek)

it screams..

its awesome...

[hairybear2704]

wow,, this is probably what they would fear back when the synth was invented

[5TheKingOfPop5]

wow! he sure is a great KEYTARIST

[DrawbarPete]

Thanx for the tip Mike77154. I'll check it out. Cheers Pete

[Mike77154]

how i make the harmonics, and what VST amp are you usicng

[Mike77154]

@DrawbarPete if you want a real bass vst, i recommend Trilogy, great

[WhiteDragon103]

@DrRyman While playing the keyboard, I found myself wiggling the key around horizontally (and vertically sometimes) intuitively. I was wondering if others did this too, so that's why I noticed. Whoever invented a keyboard that detects this was clever. :)
