Glenn playing PIANATRON on the Pi


Published on Feb 28, 2015 Pi Synth

"We had dozens of hideous technical issues last night, mainly around trying to convince those awful $5 MIDI / USB adapters to do the right thing. Plus the odd audio crackle due to the ridiculous amounts of audio interconnect plumbing down on the ground.

Eventually we gave up on the MIDI side and Glenn was forced to play my plastic, unweighted, cheap and cheerful Miditech 37, a mere 3 octaves, balanced on a stool at a difficult height, rather than his lovely weighted 61-key (or is it 88?) Nord on an optimal stand, with a CME XKey precariously perched atop an amp off to one side. Despite all those handicaps he did great.

Some 'Caitlin ooh' plus piano, some brassy stringy mix via the 2 keys on an old Korgis number (must look it up ... ) and a God Speed the Plough on piano layered with strings.

Nice."
