Synthstrom Deluge - Isomorphic Keyboard Jam 

Thanks! I hardly ever do this. But this "keyboard" is actually quite a fun thing to play around with.

Thanks! It's always nice to hear that the content is appreciated. I think it's a bit of a double edged sword that the traditional piano keyboard has established as the primary interface to input notes into a synth. On one hand it's nice because it's always the same and feels familiar right away. On the other hand there are some very interesting and in my opinion better keyboard concepts. The problem is you have to learn how to play those first. I am unfortunately just not patient and disciplined enough to do that. It would be a different story if a new standard were to evolve to make the effort worthwhile. But that seems unlikely to happen any time soon. In the mean time keyboards like this one still invite us to be explored in a maybe a bit awkward but playful manner. This I think sometimes lead to just as interesting results as playing an instrument with proficient skills.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah it's completely from different from playing a guitar. Upside down first of all, and the way the fingers move is entirely different as well. So muscle memory is of no help here. But after spending some time with it you quickly start noticing patterns you know on the guitar (3 frets, 2 frets, 2 frets for a penta scale for example) and the guitar knowledge turns out to be useful after all. I think the keyboards makes it fairly easy to play single note stuff, chords are a different story though...

@@easytiger1452 I feel ya man! like if I stop overthinking it and go where my fingers would on a fretboard, I am in the ball park area’ish. Every session I have with it, it teaches me something new, it’s such a black hole of learning and reward for me. Learning much from you and this video alone so thanks for that 🙏

Thank you!

Thanks! I'll see if I can get around to exploring this peculiar keyboard a little more in depth.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Loving your technique, sidechaining the filter with sawtooth and the negative lfo.. Great effect. 👍
