auxy’s other project is a looping app and looping seems to be the main thing for the hardware along with the rompler type sounds. im thinking a bigger chompi crossed with roland type presets with TE style macro controls over the synth engines
I see the sloping angle typically on the top of a standard synth action black keys. The side view does hide detail, but i still think having watched the first video and the second that this is a standard keybed.
You mean a poly-aftertouch keybed – you can’t see the MIDI code format sent. That was my impression having watched the first video, i don’t see anything for or against a poly-aftertouch keybed from the second video though.
This is an absolutely spot on take, highstandards, from the first video, now seeing the second video.
Me too !
I checked the exhibitor list for both SFF and Superbooth, and Auxy is not on either. It wouldn’t be the first time though that a company goes to a show in stealth mode – cloaking device enabled.
The timing feels very much like they could show at Superbooth.
ADDED : Maybe just a live performance unveiling by Cuckoo at Superbooth. That would work.
Given the proportions shown the controls area is narrower than the length of ( what i presume is ) a full sized key. So as Cuckoo says, it’s not overburdened with controls, but that’s plenty of area for some very expressive controls.
I got the impression of 49 keys in the first video, but it’s hard to be sure – again not overburdened but sufficient for expressive playing.
It seemed like Cuckoo was looking at a screen too, as you might expect.
If the I/O and connectivity is generous, I could see something like this becoming a compelling looper for synthesists.
It would be great to have a decent 49 key MIDI keyboard, with I/O for say 4 instruments, that allowed you to quickly toggle through a corresponding set of MIDI outputs, while recording loops.
If the only option is the built-in sounds, then I would find it be considerably less interesting.
