This weekend I played in the Brisbane Synthesizer Orchestra.

This weekend I played in the Brisbane Synthesizer Orchestra.  This was my setup.  Also in addition were many modulars, a Buchla Music Easel, new Roland modular gear, a Dark Energy II and more.  The entire thing was recorded and filmed, so hopefully the footage goes up online soon. https://www.flickr.com/photos/37718515@N05/20814510338/in/album-72157655046459479/

I have added a strummer to my setup and want to mute all courses by slapping the perc keys below the four strumming keys with the back of my strumming hand. The plan was to be able to play rhythmically the way I'm used to on a guitar. Since strummer breath can mute all courses,  I tried to connect the key pressure from my "slap mute"  perc keys to a ranger and then to strummer breath input. But that didn't do anything. If I connect key pressure -> strum breath it works if I touch the keys lightly. But when I send it through the ranger it doesn't. So I'm guessing I don't understand how ranger works. I would have thought  "minum 0, max 0.1" would have resulted in a signal truncated at 0.1 and therefore always below the mute threshold. Perhaps this isn't even a good plan? Is there a better way to achieve this?

I'm having some trouble while unloading Air Music Tech VST plugins within EigenD.  Any time that I do so, EigenD crashes meaning that it's impossible to remove them from a setup. I'm currently using 2.0.74, but am downloading 2.1.1.  Thoughts?

Axoloti Noodles..

Axoloti Noodles.. a bit of playing around with Axoloti with the Eigenharp and Soundplane. Hardware based MPE, gotta love it :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkGFirsoFCc

EigenD question: I want to have an on/off switch on a key, that generates a gate into my modular.

EigenD question: I want to have an on/off switch on a key, that generates a gate into my modular. ON=gate high, OFF=gate low. Anyone (Geert Bevin?) ideas as to how to achieve this?  Does the Latch agent work this way? I have Expert Sleepers & ES-3 if that helps.  Objective here is to have the option of running sound from EigenD through a MI Clouds and be able to trigger the Freeze from my Alpha.

MPE settings for EigenD

MPE settings for EigenD assumes using community build. midi mode = mpe, min chan =1 max chan=16 pitchbend on pressure = channel pressure yaw = cc 74, 50/50/50 pitchbend range from the midi setting is transmitted by eigend to mpe synth to be aligned. note: eigenD also has a pitchbend range in scale for key/strips, this governs how far keys/strip will bend. the range in midi is usually set to the max of key bend range/strip bend range
