Very inspiring to read about Mark's experiences with touch screen
control. BTW, there is this "Mix 16" layout that comes bundled wit
TouchOSC that offers two 8 fader mixers, among other things. I'd like
to use that one on my iPhone. Just need to find a good solution for
temporarily mounting the iPhone on the Stick.
I'm already very keen on using the GK-3's volume knob and two buttons
for controlling sound parameters. To me touch-screen on the instrument
is of almost equal usability rate as my trusty Gordius MIDI pedal. My
issue with touch-screens, that you have to look at them in order to
use them, isn't that blatant if mounted on the instrument you carry on
your body. BTW, yesterday Xavier announced that the Gordius will soon
support both long and short presses on each switch! That will double
its deepness in tweakness, let us Gordius users put twenty function
into each ten switches bank. Will be nice not having to shoe-gaze that
much for bank switching.
The above is of course related to doing improvised electronic music.
When performing a fixed set you could as well put most of your
commands into Ableton Live to be duly sent out for the receiving
devices. I have recently enjoyed several peak experiences associated
with Max For Live, for a laptop aided musician quite similar to what
the Assigns Window means for the GR-55; an open window to unlimited
horizons :-)
