This video, via birdkids, is a demo of using their new °Grid controller with the free Audiokit Pro Synth One software synthesizer for iOS.
The video highlights the importance of incorporating physical expression into synthesis. Using the °Grid as a controller takes Synth One into CS-80 territory, because it lets you add a level of physical control not available on most synths.
In the demo, °Grid is controlling AudioKit Pro – Synth One via Bluetooth BLE.
Details on the °Grid are still be to be announced.
Shake it Baby!
Cool to see multiple dimensions of control that are kind of intuitively physical.
I’d miss having velocity for the initial attack– but I suppose a breath controller combined would be a nice way around that.
I’m not sure how I’d get along with that grid note layout for faster phrases. Probably not well, but I expect that’s not what this is for.
