Gradients // Playing a Yaeltex custom MIDI controller

Музыка

Played this track using a beautifully handcrafted MIDI controller custom-made by the lovely people at @Yaeltex (Buenos Aires). I named it after my favorite record from Radiohead and tried to turn it into a playable multi-instrument using a script and a couple of Max4Live patches. This is how it turned out!

    Beautiful performance as always. Are the pads pressure sensitive? (Were you using aftertouch?)

    Hej thanks! These pads not being pressure sensitive was actually the biggest challenge here. This is why I’ve mapped the velocity of ride, snare and rhodes to some of the upper knobs in order to achieve some dynamic variation on the recorded MIDI parts. AFAIK there is no controller out there with small (!) velocity-sensitive pads, I hope this will change some time in the future, though.

    Hey hey, I have five banks configured with Kilowhat and for the first bank I use a Max4Live script with a "red box" (session box) so I can launch clips in Live. I created the script using remotify.io's Control Surface Studio - all other banks simply send MIDI notes configured in Kilowhat. However, I'm using a couple of self-made Max4Live devices to send LED feedback with configurable colors to the pads - something I wish was already possible with Kilowatt. I hope this sheds some light.

    I see you designed your own max patch for LED feedback. Is this a patch you’d be willing to share / sell? Just received my Yaeltex this week and looking to dig in. Thanks!

    hej hej, here’s a link to the max patch i’ve been using. i didn’t share this yet because it’s not self-explanatory. it depends on the CC configuration of your controller and how your project is setup in ableton live. however, if you’re into max you will likely find your way around… tinyurl.com/bdf527ex

    hehe yes, but that is just because i'm used to aftertouch coming from Novation's launchpad. in fact, they're not velocity sensitive which is why i've mapped the velocity of ride, snare and rhodes to the knobs on top.
