Triggering Midi With Contact Mics: Part 2

This is the second video in the series that starts here.

Using a tin can to trigger a synth was cool, but what's cooler than that? Using four items to control four synths!

Here I go a bit deeper into this plugin to scratch away at the surface of what it is capable of. If you all like this series, I think there are a TON of ideas that can come from this one deceptively powerful plugin.

Links to stuff I show in this video:

Oh yeah there is a whole world of experimental sound techniques waiting for you to discover! It sounds like you are still very much in the exploratory phase, which is where I've been the last 20 years or so :) I hope some of these videos help lead you down some paths that get you to a creative place you enjoy, even if it wasn't where you were aiming.

Well, a video on basics would be great but I think most of your subscribers except me are likely to find it redundant. I am coming at this from the perspective of disrupting and re-recording live or recorded music - in my case early blues. I have some effects pedals, a Watkins tape loop machine, a Scarlet interface and a decent computer. It will betray my ignorance to say I was looking at online material and thought something like the Bastl Microgranny would be a way into sampling. That is how "entry level" I am at.

Nice! Would it be helpful to make a video that starts out at a bit more beginner level? What would be helpful for you to learn more about?

Rich Bernett

At the very beginning of understanding any of this. But absolutely rivited by the sounds combined with the metronome. Some great suggestions of plug-ins which are very helpful for someone starting out. Thanks.
