Wingie2: New alternate tuning features in firmware v3.1

video upload by Dave Seidel

"Meng Qi's Wingie2 resonator is a unique musical device with many uses. As a user of microtonal tunings, I decided to try to add some microtonal abilities to the firmware, which is open source. I am happy to say that Meng has accepted my work, and it will be part of the v3.1 firmware release.

This video is meant to provide an overview of the new features, including details on usage, and a couple of demos. I hope you find it helpful, despite my primitive video skills. For more information, including details of each tuning and a ToushOSC template for switching between tunings, please go to https://mysterybear.net/projects/wing...
