Inspiration & Involvement
It's a pleasure to have not only an interestingly described story behind your inspirational instruments, but also an engagingly described idea.
That's a terrific piano. All perfectly realised. Disappeared for an extended period of time exploring its presets. After getting to Hoffman Felted decided to buy the full version ;)
I really like the idea of looping. And by pressing Hold on KeyStep I get an infinite soundscape.... Great
Since recently I've been actively using the idea of looping with both loops and clips on Push 2. It's just convenient to control the length of the clip there. But for some reason I didn't think it could be combined with piano playing. So thanks for the idea.
PS
I will definitely talk about Felt & Fog (what an involving name) in my notes.PPS
Please make an update that explicitly labelled the on/off buttons for the different modes (mute, delay, sync, convolution). The way it is implemented now it's hard to distinguish whether a mode is on or off....An inspiring discovery
A beautiful story that invites familiarity with the instrument. Very happy that after a week of getting to know it, my favorite instrument on the Pianobook (after November Piano of course :)) is even better.
I tune the knobs on my Arturia Minilab Mk2 and in the evenings I go on musical journeys with my DreamliTzer or GranuliTzer.
Daniel, thank you!
Interesting idea and good realisation
I met Atmospheric Tokyo a couple of days ago. And it turned out to be a very inspiring encounter. The night, the rain and the sound of the synthesiser for some reason referred me to ‘Blade Runner’.
Great job.
- good sounding instruments and atmosphere
- engaging visuals and stylisation
- sufficient set of effects
- availability of snapshotsWhat was missing (purely because I saw a request for feedback in the text)
- the presence of a ‘Hold’ option on the atmosphere sounds
- to get rid of the atmosphere sounds from being affected by effectsNow I get around this by running two instruments at the same time, one of which has only ambience sounds (I select the preset I want and duplicate the track, and then loop the ambience sounds on the duplicate).
- more possibilities to influence individual instruments (for example, I can change the duration of individual tracks and loop fragments).
Again, both instruments (Tokyo and Bristol) are interesting and inspiring. My comments are just a response to a request for feedback. Thank you.
