I’m coming in late but just discovered this and immediately ordered it. As a lifelong guitar player songwriter who enjoys electronic music this opens up so many possibilities. Thanks for creating this and these detailed and straightforward videos. I’m going to pair this with a Yamaha seqtrak and battery pack with my thr30ii rechargeable amp with wireless transmitter and I can sit in my backyard and make music tactically and be able to play my guitar and the linnstrument 128 as call and response with a similar approach. Truly amazing times.

This is great and to the point! I'd love to see a series of more in depth tutorials for beginners who maybe have very little experience actually playing any instrument. I think the Linnstrument would be a fantastic instrument for novices to pick up as their first instrument, but also think it can be daunting when there is an implied familiarity with instruments like pianos or guitars, and maybe the lack of this context could scare novices away.

Coming from a guitar player, I had zero learning curve with the LinnStrument. Very intuitive. And actually it helps reinforce you fretboard knowledge on the actual guitar.

Hey, I just happened stumbled upon your channel while looking up instruments ppl can play with one hand! I’m a producer, born with one hand and do almost everything thru my DAW’s piano roll. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play an instrument but sadly can’t play most of them due to frustration😔 this would be a perfect instrument for me to learn to play thru midi! I hope to save up for one of these someday!☺️ amazing product you have! Keep up the work!:)

In terms of playing chords, the great thing about the Linnstrument is that yes, you can approach the rows like the strings of a guitar. However, if you are setup in full polyphonic mode, you can form chords by playing notes on the same row as well. In that sense, the Linnstrument is like a guitar/keyboard hybrid. It opens up the door to chord shapes that are truly unique to the instrument, as you can create chords by playing a mixture of notes across different rows and on the same row as well. For example, Roger demonstrated a C major chord by playing one note on each row, like you would play it on guitar. But, you can also play C major by playing C on one row, and then E and G on the row above, forming a triangular shape.

This reminds me of the default note layout on the Novation Launchpad.

hi Mr. Linn, I'm Sudan Wallace from East St louis I love your instrument I hate how Akai trying to cut you out when if it wasn't for you, it wouldn't be a mpc I was hoping I can help you get back to the forefront of the hip hop/rap game by showing off your gear I believe it's the future of music production.

Is there any alternative layouts for people who like piano key spacing even if it involve using a couple rows?

@rogerlinndesign 4 ай бұрын

@@TwinCitiesOxygen Sorry, LinnStrument doesn’t offer a piano pitch arrangement. However, the Osmose, Seaboard, and K-Board Pro are good instruments for people who prefer the traditional piano pitch arrangement.

Are all these slides and vibrato captured in MIDI if we use this to write music in a DAW? Also, can you tap the pads to make MIDI for drums, for example in Cubase’s Drum Editor? I’m looking for multiple solutions from a “pad” style controller alongside my regular keyboard controller.

@rogerlinndesign 6 ай бұрын

Yes, LinnStrument sends standard MIDI. The pitch slides use standard MIDI Pitch Bend messages. And yes, you can use the pads for finger drumming. Here are two examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6GrdKunbph9qc0si=jV1N9-xJ4yOmWvwg&t=704 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnm6o4apbdRkjJYsi=fQa_Iz76BN2W2J8W

What vst did you use for the guitar sound?

@rogerlinndesign 2 ай бұрын

@@BobingerAudio I’m on mac so I don’t use VSTs but rather AUs. However, that sound is neither. It’s part of my free sounds file for Apple’s Logic or MainStage software, and is a sampled guitar sound from their large and high quality sample player, routed through a modeled guitar amp.

Thanks for the video. I think you showed us a Dorian scale instead of a minor scale.

@rogerlinndesign Жыл бұрын

I also showed a major scale instead of an Ionian. Please forgive me for making a video intended for amateur musicians. I promise to make another video for musicologists in future.

@kaitlyn__L 6 ай бұрын

Dorian has the minor third, so it _is_ a minor scale. If you’d said _“the_ minor scale”, I’d begrudgingly accept that as a byword for aeolian. But from one recreational pedant to another, you said _a minor scale._ Of which dorian is one. If you’re going to engage in modal pedantry, at least get it right! 😉

This is a great video.. thanks for sharing. What instrument VST are you playing?

@rogerlinndesign 11 ай бұрын

Thanks, Darrin. It’s not a VST or AU but rather a sampled guitar sound from from the sample library in Apple’s Logic or MainStage for Mac. It’s one of a collection of sounds optimized for LinnStrument from my free Logic or MainStage file of sounds for LinnStrument that can be downloaded from my site.
