Gulf Coast Synthesis shared this quick demo of GCS Strum Plate, a plugin that lets you ‘strum’ notes to play your software instruments.
They note, “Instead of using the typical autochord style of an Omnichord and other products, you can hold a chord on a MIDI keyboard and intuitively strum across the gold plate or via the pitch wheel.”
GCS Strum Plate is available now as a free download.
Turi Scandurra recently shared this sneak preview of the Diapasonix – a portable electronic musical instrument and MIDI controller that is played similarly to a stringed instrument.
The Diapasonix features a capacitive touchpad fretboard, I²S audio output, and a built-in synthesizer with chainable audio effects, powered by the AMY synthesis engine.
Its four-string, six-fret layout (24 touch points total) can be set up to match traditional stringed instruments, like guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, double bass and banjo.
Features:
Diapasonix is an original, non-commercial work and is available via Github. The video is a sneak preview of the prototype.
