Meng Qi WINGIE 2 Resonator // Demo Tutorial Walkthrough

video upload by Dexba

"It's here, I love, and I hope I can spread some extra love with this video about the @Meng Qi Wingie 2, or Wing 2, as YouTube keeps suggesting.
It is a lovely, tiny, portable, stereo resonator, that is giving me more joy and exploration than a lot of many, 20 times more expensive, other instruments.
I am demoing it both with the onboard microphones and some samples coming from the Digitakt.
All the demo is the dry sound of the Wingie, except for the last part, where it is also stated I have added a reverb to the demos you've heard at the beginning.
I hope you will find something useful here, and as always I am more than ready to answer your question, if I can 🧡

Wingie2 listening to mechanical keyboard

video upload by Meng Qi

"Ever played music on the keyboard? Wait, I mean the one for typing. 😄 I wrote a pd program to change your computer keyboard into an Autoharp. Here's the link to download the patch:

https://mengqimusic.com/autoharp

It all started when I bought a mechanical keyboard that can joyfully produce mahjong-like sounds. Why haven't I ever tried to play music with Alphabet and numeric Keys? This idea suddenly came to my mind and here we are! The chord layout I used in the patch is designed by the autoharp virtuoso Lindsay Haisley."

SOMA Pulsar-23 + Meng Qi Wing Pinger // Synthetic Forest

video upload by Dexba

"I can feel it: it's the sensation of moving in the right direction with my setup and my musical scope.
I'm no producer, I think you already grasped that from my channel's general vibe, so what I really like to do is as little planning as possible and just follow the stream, the dialogue between me and the instruments.
And this is like... the goal! I can finally see the end of the tunnel, now I only have to work on the relationship with my gear, learn, practice, and improve.
This idea was born after stumbling upon some recordings of birds in a song from Pere Ubu, and I was pretty sure they were doable with a synthesizer too!
The Pulsar-23 by SOMA was the closest thing to a modular I had, so I went for that, but it wasn't without challenges, since there is only one LFO and the polarity/wave shape has no modulation control, so a simple task like alternating rhythmically up and down pitch synchronized with the gates got way more challenging than it sounds :) Wing Pinger is my new crush, no need to hide it, and even though (surprisingly enough) it doesn't pair well with the Hologram Microcosm, I really wanted to give more ambiance, a more washed feeling to the lonely upper filter playing. I think you'll see this setup again and again, so I hope you enjoy ✨"

Meng Qi Wing Pinger // Pingless Lullaby

video upload by Dexba

"IT'S HERE! I GOT IT!

I've probably never wanted an instrument so much like the Meng Qi's Wing Pinger (and I can't wait to get the Wingie2 and expand everything with some modular gear in the future)

I am both a sine guy and a ping guy, I love sines, sweet curves, blipblops, perforating my ears with awesomeness!

So, I had to start somewhere, and I started from a... pingless little tune, on an instrument called PINGER: life's strange.

Recordings don't make justice to the experience; for a distracted listener it would probably sound like some strange phone tone moving around, but there is something magical about the approach, the experience of touching and subtle movements required to create delicate balances, both for the pinging and the FM interaction. But we start here today! Only a very minimal drop of Chase Bliss' CXM1978 for the reverb, conveniently cutting the booming basses, but I wanted to keep it clean!"

立夏赏小羽 Summer Begins, Wingie Upgrades

video upload by Meng Qi

"Link to v1.1 firmware & manuals: https://github.com/mengqimusic/Wingie...

// Summer's greetings from Synthesis Minority (合成少数派)

Today is LiXia (立夏), the 7th solar term of the lunar caledar, marking the beginning of Summer.

It was also in a summer when Wingie's first prototype came out.

So I thought summer must be a season of rich sounds—cicadas singing, birds chirping, poets from the past chanting besides instruments.

I wonder if the poet a thousand years ago, when he wrote: 'The lotus wind delivers its fragrance, the bamboo drops make a clear sound", was in a summer more pleasant than where I'm. But Meng Haoran (孟浩然) must have been lonely, that's why when he "wanted to make music," he hesitated because ''there was no bosom friend who can resonate with him'.

Maybe he should have resort to something else? May it be a resonator?

Just kidding. But Wingie is a resonator. It resonates with all frequencies it receives (take it rationally or subjectively).

Anyway, we make it to come to a new summer. Also, the Wingie firmware is updated. I've added a couple new features.

Probably, I do have some expectations on people who got Wingie—No matter there's someone who can resonate with your feeling, just feel free to make music!

// New Features of Wingie2 v1.1

- Customizable Caves (setting via instrument interface & MIDI)
- 6 Caves
- Adjustable Pre / Post Clipper Gain (from clean to saturated to destroyed sound)
- Global Tuning
- Customizable MIDI Channels (setting via MIDI)
- Storable Settings"

Meng Qi Wingie 2 getting very excited by Novation Circuit Rhythm and some help from Just Friends

video upload by -CALC-

"A little demo track with the fantastic new Wingie 2 from Meng Qi Music.
Two resonators that are getting excited by audio inputs.
In many ways its a very simple box but it has some magical and musical secrets hidden within.
This track is really just Wingie 2 being excited by a beat from Circuit Rhythm. Wingie is also being handed a MIDI sequencer from Circuit Rhythm to form the Chord progression.
Wingie is set to the String algo and I genuinely love the way a heavy input overdrives and 'blows out' the sound."

Wingie automation

video upload by UncertainMusicCorps

"Digging deeper into the midi implementation of Wingie v2 led to this little proof of concept.

As in the previous video, Wotja is providing the audio for Wingie to feed on and is generating midi to control the pitches of its two voices.

This time, Wotja is also using midi CC0 to change at random the voice types used by Wingie's two channels. The changes are flagged by colour changes of the LEDs on the right side of Wingie's front panel.

I limited the change options to exclude 'cave' mode on this occasion."

All you wanna know about Wingie2

"In this video, I show the basic functions of Wingie2 by performing it with Kalimba, Wing Pinger & Mannequins modules. However, I'm expecting you to be more creative with Wingie2. Looking forward to your performance. Wish you enjoy!"

Wingie 2

video upload by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"First play with the Wingie 2 designed by the even inspiring Meng Qi. This is a handheld stereo resonator with built-in microphones that also doubles as a development board. Its dual onboard microphones allow you to interact and enrich vocals as well as the sonic environment around you. So, as an experiment I decided to only use the microphone and create a piece in 30 minutes. What a wonderfully inspiring little instrument/processor this is!

"Some fun with the awesome Meng Qi Wing Pinger going into the DSM Humboldt Simplifier DLX. The 1010Music Nanobox Lemondrop is in the Stereo-Send-/Return-Loop of the Simplifier. And lots of special cables ;)

Flanger and Delay are from the Lemondrop, Reverb ist from the Simplifier.

As always: No overdubs, no post processing. Just a Ristretto ;)"

The Magical Sound of the Wing Pinger

video upload by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"First proper play with the Wing Pinger, an outstanding new instrument from Meng Qi. It can move from very gentle arping melodies to harsh noise in the blink of an eye. You can play the keyboard and latch the notes on each and build up layers of sound. Here I'm using it with the Bugbrand PT Delay and a little bit of reverb from the Eventide H9. Try and listen in stereo or on headphones if you can, to feel the sound move around you. More of this here: https://scanner.bandcamp.com/album/wi...

And yes, there was an earth hum issue here with noise. I'm aware of this and apologise!"

via this auction w/ original box

Note this listing is not for the same unit in the video above; it was just included in the listing as a demo of the Wing Pinger in general and hasn't been featured here before.

"The Wing Pinger is a remarkable new analog music instrument that allows you to combine melody and noise in perfect harmony. Thanks to a highly playable interface, this latest product offering from Meng Qi is actually many things all at the same time.

The Wing Pinger is designed for musicians and non-musicians alike. It’s composed of a pair of 4-pole resonant low pass filters and a network of peripheral logic circuits. The filters can be cross “pinged” and modulated, both directly and by generated step signals.

Plain and simple, this delivers an instrument capable of producing continually evolving music across the spectrum, from controlled to chaotic. The finely tuned parameter range and intuitive interface allow players to perform entirely on intuition, producing ever-changing and rich-sounding ambient, noise or meditative music with minimal or zero user interaction.

The Wing Pinger is also at home in any musical environment. For example, it can be used as a stand-alone instrument or with whatever gear you have. The unit is equipped with both MIDI and CV I/O and can ping literally anything that has an audio or trigger input and output or emits a decaying sound."
