this just popped up on my YT feed, really interesting.
not only some basics on how expressive controllers work, but a pretty good overview generally.
also check out the channels other videos, theres a lot of really interesting stuff on there, esp in the diy sphere.
made me wonder how Ive not come across NerdMusician on YouTube before…
then I realised im actually subscribed, so goes to show how poor YouTube recommendations can be at times!
He’s fun. (I’m sure he’d love to organise a live chat with you if you felt like it. Gets my vote.)
One thought which comes out of this, since he included a clip of the roli teardown video, is that we can probably fashion a flat neoprene surface to replace the seaboard keywaves that so many love to hate on.
I don’t know that the sensor resolution would be half as expressive as a Continuum, or even the seaboard you’re modding, but I do suddenly regret selling my extra RISE 25.
This is not a unique idea on these forums, but it is one I haven’t considered in a while.
Someone on KVR Audio accomplished that a while back:
It was partially due to their experiments and support that influenced the development of the LinnStrument Darker Mod.
