Is it just me or is the cello model harder to play in the low range? It can make sense given the logic of physical modelling, but the effect is somewhat unexpected. Been using the clarinet model to practice scales. Rather satisfying for something so repetitive. Tried doing the same thing with the cello model and it feels like it’s more difficult to play low notes quickly. It could be a psychological effect. Noticed something a bit similar while changing scales. But the effect remains rather strong in the low range of the cello model, as though each note took longer to articulate.

I say this here same as on closed FB Haken Continuum group. MPE article on midi.org Learned something; no word on Eigenlabs - Eigenharp 3 models and MadronaLabs Soundplane, aahhh maybe too many, but Haken Continuum /EaganMatrix!! Something is WRONG and clearly MISSING!! https://www.midi.org/articles/midi-polyphonic-expression-mpe?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=MIDI+Polyphonic+Expression+%28MPE%29&utm_campaign=July+MIDI+Message+Newsletter

Physical Audio - Derailer (AU/Mac only) In beta at the moment, but worth checking out, Physical Modelling with MPE support (they call it X mode) , what more could we want? :) A quick play it seems to deliver, the UI is pretty complex (ok, Ive not read the manual), I particularly like the bowing presets... some of the others I find a bit hit n miss on strike, might be I need to fine tune my MPE setup. if they can sort this out, then it could become a favourite. (hmm, perhaps the final release, can lets us reduce the reverb level a bit ;)) https://physicalaudio.co.uk/PA3.html https://physicalaudio.co.uk/PA3.html

My wife and I have just released our debut EP as "Tic Tic". The Eigenharp has been used a lot on all but one track. We feel it "softenes up" our electro pop sound nicely. Makes things sound more human, I guess. The rest is an Octatrack, Analog Four, Electribe MX and a modular. We've just started looking at how to perform this live and the Tau will be an even more important part in that setting. So I'm practicing playing a lot these days. Getting better, but, oh, so slowly.... http://www.straightupworld.com/releases/tic-tic-where-do-we-go-ep/ http://www.straightupworld.com/releases/tic-tic-where-do-we-go-ep/
