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!"

Live performance with Polyend Play and Eurorack (Bassline, Manis Iteritas, Basimilus and Versio)

video upload by Thoow

"I was slightly carried away during this performance, so please excuse the length of the video :-)

I used the new Polyend Play as the main sequencer for my modular system and of course as a sample player / drum machine for all things percussive. The Play is extremely fun and comes with a lot of performance tricks - but mostly for the sample section, the Midi implementation is pretty standard, but allows a very flexible routing to different chanels (USB or Midi) even within one track.

In my little setup I send two of the midi tracks are running into the Intelijel Midi module and from there to Erica Synths Bassline and Noise Engineerings Manis Iteritas. The midi clock is also used to trigger Pamela and a couple of other devices that need a proper clock.

The main voices are then send into Imitor Versio and finally into FX aid.

Everything is recorded live into Ableton (that is also playing a very subtle pad across the whole piece, modulated with a couple of LFOs.)"
