Strange Flute (Nambu single instrument jam)

espiegel123

Apologies for the double-post. This is a demo/jam (strange music, this) using a patch that I am working on in Nambu. It has a lot of touch sensitivity built-in via velocity, CC74, aftertouch and pitchbend. Played with a Sensel Morph

Probably not many people's cup of tea -- but hopefully a demonstration of a sort of instrument/patch one can design easily in Nambu that would not be so easy with other iOS synths that I can think of.

For those whom designing an instrument is an integral part of composition, this is a very rewarding synth.

It is a fascinating synth, isn't it?

It really is. For those that like to lose themselves in sound sculpture it is fantastic.

Very nice.

Isn’t that the Billie Holliday tune as covered in Japan?

I’ll be here all week. Tip your server.

Great stuff Ed - can note off be used as a mod source?

@espiegel123 : curses! Yo are going to make me want this, aren’t you. Came here straight from raving about a movie soundtrack which in its’s later stages sounds not a million miles away from this. I console myself with the thought that I don’t have a Sensei Morph to make it work…

Thanks. What do mean mod source?

Mod sources are typically things that can send multiple values over time (like cc’s, aftertouch and pitchbend, or gyros) whereas note on/off are single events. The release potion of an envelope is, in a way, a way to make use of Note Off.

How were you wanting to use the Note Off?

Note Off can be used as a trigger for texture envelopes. This is useful adding elements that happen at release time.

Thanks. I won’t mention that it sounds nifty from any velocity-sensitive controller (aftertouch a bonus)

I have had a few requests for the path used. Here it is:

Thank you (Ian) much obliged!
