Tropical birds and strings

video upload by Grain Blanc

"When a friend came back from Costa Rica with some binaural recordings of birds, I asked him to send me some. For this example, I added a loop to the norns and played a melody with the minichord (MIDI notes of strings section from MxSamples on norns)"

Minichord, Gliss, Plinky & friends

video upload by Grain Blanc

"This little combo is really cool!!
Since Benjamin Poilvé sent me the minichord (a smaller version of the omnichord) to test, I've been trying to find a place for it alongside the tiny rack, and the whole thing works well. The Gliss from ‪@BelaPlatform‬ through the Plinky, Buzzrito (+ Bib for effects) from ‪@bluespoonery‬ adds its variations.

Other modules used are the farbfolder from ‪@MakingSoundMachines‬ the disting mk4 from ‪@ExpertSleepersLtd‬ for reverb and mixer xoh from ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬
All candycords cables come from ‪@myvolts1903‬"
