Demo of the experimental Manta
Rasmus Nyåker of the Copenhagen Noise Lab has shared these two videos on Youtube. Speaking with webzine CDM he explains; The Manta only supplies me with one continious controller per finger/zone/hexagon. It’s much like any polyphonic aftertouch keyboard in that way (I have a Roland A80 which is a marvellous controller as a keyboard). The Manta has two great things going for it, though: it is much more compact and I can route a separate CC-number from each of its hexagons.
In this video I just route CCs from the hexagons to the Nord Modular G2. I control FX for rhythms on the top row and toggles Delay/Reverb too. On the very left I use CCs to control pitch and amplitude of 4 oscillators. On the other buttons I just control amlitude of 36 different tuned Sinus oscillators. The second and forth row from the bottom is just detuned oscillators of the ones controlled in the row below.
First thing I did with my new Snyderphonics Manta. Using a standard midi-patch in MAX/MSP to control the Nord Modular G2. The sound is just a pad with some extended control for the manta.
