Artiphon, Joue Play and other isomorphic KB setups like Xotopad...not a new idea but looks interesting. I'm really into guitar like synths...forgot Plinky.

[@toi_techno]

Very cool

[@JohnPaulsonJohnisaStegosaurus]

looks interesting but there should be better color contrast on various separate functions (fretboard, other controls). even with muscle memory it is good to have a visual cue, particularly in the low light which most musiciians work.

...on the plus side, the synth engine is probably great.

[@x.noybic7007]

Is the sound of the instrument cancled out or phased out? I can barely hear anything.

[@synthanatomy]

I can hear it from my phone and computer fine

[@x.noybic7007]

That's weird, must be a sound glitch then since I can't hear it on either. The whole video is great but the actual demo is cancelled out.

[@BLLinstruments-cc9jh]

You are right, apparently, there is a problem with the recording that we did on one of the two channels, the result is that the cumulative sound of the two channels is canceled. It doesn't come from the synthesizer. Maybe the connection to the recording setup was faulty.

@@BLLinstruments-cc9jh there are things that I have not added to the video but I can hear the sounds 1:50 8:32 9:00

[@BLLinstruments-cc9jh]

@@synthanatomy Hello Tom ! you are right, there is one of the two audio channels which is weak and inverted and I think that for certain people who use a device which adds the two channels to deliver a mono channel the result is that the audio signal becomes very weak. moral: you have to listen on a stereo system!

[@metawaves]

Eh?

[@RDHamel]

Interesting. The worst of both worlds.

[@zoned7609]

I can't hear any sound from it

[@synthanatomy]

There are sounds: 1:50 8:32 9:00

[@uyscuti5376]

​@@synthanatomyit's practically inaudible on a phone

[@synthanatomy]

@@uyscuti5376 strange I can hear them fine on both computers
