Sounds kinda stupid, but might be cool to layer it in with other sounds in a combi to add more of a human element to a performance, particularly of more static or compressed synth sounds.. Just the thwack of the keys.

Sampling mechanical noise
Has anyone thought to multisample a synth or hammer action keybed, from a workstation or such - with microphones? (i.e. not the sound engine).

This reminds me of an exhibit I once went to, several years back, in downtown NYC. The artist had installed a set of keys that were connected to the building that the installation was in. In essence, you "played" the building. So, one key might trigger a steam pipe (literally. It would rattle/shake/etc) or another might trigger some mechanical gear.
Obviously, it was difficult to play, as there was no intonation whatsoever. But it was very organic sounding, especially because this was, if i may call it so, "natural sampling".
If I remember the artist or installation's name, I'll post later.

Re: Sampling mechanical noise
very interesting. That mind just especially if you playing piano and you want to give a up and close experience.X-Trade wrote:Has anyone thought to multisample a synth or hammer action keybed, from a workstation or such - with microphones? (i.e. not the sound engine).

Making beats is not a hobby it's a life style
