Wing Pinger Leploop Live Improvisation

Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"Another little run around in the sonic playground today, with Meng Qi's Wing Pinger and the rather minimalist electronic music live-performance groove-box known as the LepLoop. A touch of reverb on the Wing Pinger and that's it. Live playing, with no synchronisation between the machines, just having fun. Just as making music should be. This is not a finished piece, just an exploration, light and exploratory."

Thanks for IK Multimedia and their speaker."

"This is a special model - Wing Pinger Nü.

“Nü” is the pronunciation of “Female” in Chinese. I believe arts come from female nature, from subconscious, perception, emotions, freedom and chaos.
Technically :
The internal dual chromatic touch keyboards have 2 modes :

1) PINGING - keyboard pings filters;
2) PINGED - arpeggiation with filter pings as clock, with optional latch.

"The new Wing Pinger from Meng Qi had really caught my attention with seemingly random pentatonic melodies shifting through a great spring reverb (not part of the module) on the Meng Qi Instagram page. We check out the Wing Pinger as well as some custom and one builds of Lorre Double Knot controllers and Ciat Lonbarde Sidrax and Tetrax based synthesisers."

Playlist:

1. Wing Pinger - Chaos

With multiple feedback and cross modulation paths, Wing Pinger operates according to the principles of chaos theory. All parameters except volume are interactive, future outputs are related to the current state as well as parameter settings.

2. Wing Pinger - CVGate

Wing Pinger talks to modular synthesizers via Banana jacks. Use TRIGGER outputs to sync external synthesizers to filter pings. STEP outputs are weighted mixes from shift registers.

3. Wing Pinger - Tonal Patterning

Be chaotic at will, you don't miss the expressions from melodies. Wing Pinger is capable of generating pentatonic patterns from its carefully weighted STEP modulation.

4. Wing Pinger - External Sound Processing

Process stereo or dual mono signals through great sounding filters, add spice to the tone, generate movements with special Wing Pinger modulations.

Wing Pinger will be at SUPERBOOTH and other events. You can find the list on the Meng Qi website.

"Your link to organic analog texture, rhythm, noise and melodies.

Travels between chaotic and tonal passages as fast as your emotions shift.

It encourages fine playing gestures and rewards practicing.

Wing Pinger is an analog musical instrument, centered around a pair of 4-pole resonate low pass filters.

Surrounded by a network of comparators, pulse converters, binary counters and shift registers.

Despite the absence of oscillators, it's fully capable, and actually designed to generate sound on its own."
