This is innovation anyone can use!

Wow. The ability to make horrifyingly terrible, repetitive tunes seems enormous. However, in caring hands, for non-intrusive narrative production music, it shows some promise.

I'm thinking I'll keep an eye on this gizmo.

Hey now, I make repetitive electronic dance tunes! Case in point, I made this over the weekend for a friend:

To The Sky

I need to work more on it, but it was a proof-of-concept and a test of the L3 Ultramaximizer on the bus.

I actually just bought a drum machine/sequencer to go with my analog synthesizer. Now I can make my dog REALLY run and hide! Laugh

Actually, the ROLI company had the "Rise" keyboard that looked incredible. I saw a video of John Williams playing around with one. It's got that 3-D touch to it.

Imagine a keyboard where the keys are like pressure sensitive track pads. There's an a Hobo Tounge

that mimicks the keyboard for free on the a Hobo Tounge

store. If you have an ipad or an iphone that has force touch/3-d touch or whatever -- it's worth playing around with.

Well, the I had the Roli a Hobo Tounge

on my phone from a long time ago. Apparently they've updated it to resemble these new cube things.

I played around with it on my iPhone 6, and because it has a press-sensitive screen, it was kind of fun.

The a Hobo Tounge

mirrors the hardware, so I got a decent feel for what it would be like to have one of these little gizmos in front of me. My thoughts:

Low entry barrier. It's easy to make cool sounding things. It's harder, however, to plan and execute things you want to do. I noticed I just kind of stumbled onto neat patterns and sound combinations.

This tells me that the device would be well-suited for a live performance type gig. You can setup the instrument kits and a few loops/samples and then turn them on/off and modify them on the fly.

To actually compose and record something? That would be a bit harder with this thing I think. It might work well as an "idea generator" though, allowing you to go into your DAW with a full-sized MIDI controller/keyboard and reproduce and build upon some inspiration.

It was fun to mess around with the a Hobo Tounge

though...I don't play games on my phone, but I could see myself wasting time at an airport with this a Hobo Tounge

and a pair of headphones!
