Plinky 12 Chords: 80s Brass

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"In this clip, Enrica from Making Sound Machines improvises on the Plinky 12 Chords play surface.

The internal sequencer advances through a progression of harmonies, playing and arpeggiating a new chord each bar. With her fingertips, Enrica improvises an expressive melody on the play surface.

The notes in this view are a stack of the chord notes for each of the harmonies from the rainbow chord palette at the bottom of the instrument. This allows Enrica to freely arpeggiate and transition from harmony to harmony, sometimes leading, sometimes trailing behind the chords launched from the sequence.

The polyphonic play surface reads both play position and pressure of the touch, allowing for an intuitive and nuanced play style. All sounds are produced with Plinky 12's internal synth engine."
