Virtual Sonically expressive Free-Reed instrument

Hi folks,
I’m introducing my virtual sonically expressive Free-Reed instrument,
based on my REAL-I.S.M. sound engine.
(other instruments will follow in the future).
It is a standalone app.
You can play it using your Wind/Breath controller or MPE capable Keyboard or a Lekholm-Harmonica.
It is available on the Microsoft store.
Here is a link so you can listen to what is possible:
Instagram
There are also 2 examples of a future trumpet and violin instrument.

This instrument is based on real traditional concertina free-reeds.

It sounds lovely! How are you controlling it in the insta videos?

If you were ever looking to extend the sound, I would wish for a Claviola model next :slight_smile:

Thank you.
A Claviola is “doable”. But I need impulse information of the instrument.
That means I need to first obtain such an instrument.
Use a USB MIDI Wind Controller.
It is a humble beginning, but I had to start somewhere.

I made a DIY USB breath/wind MIDI controller, using my electronic engineering skills,
but I repurposed the parts for something else, a device for my elderly Parents to use.
Then I took MIDI demo files of some professional performances which were done using a USB MIDI Wind-Instrument.
Then I triggered my Real-ISM sound engine with those performances and that is what you can hear on Instagram. My Real-ISM sound engine follows the expression perfectly and instantly.
I have some performances which I did on SoundCloud but it is of a much older
version of my sound engine.

Looks interesting. Perhaps consider to upload the example to a platform where it can be listened to without having to create an account (particularly Instagram is a passionately no-account-owner thing for some :slight_smile: )
