I would LOVE to see more builders from non-English countries including their native language on front panels, or even just using it exclusively.

It’s like a box full of electronic birds. I have never wanted something so bad so quickly.

Music might be the only thing that can save the world, by bringing us together.

I love the instrument and the sensibilities of its maker. Plus he seems to be a lovely person. Thank you.

THANK YOU Hainbach!! Not only for having a great interest in perpetuating some of the more esoteric methods that can be applied in all things music, but also for hosting one of my personally favorite and inventive DIY folks! This was a very welcome and pleasant surprise for I didn’t know that many musicians would know Meng Qi personally. He is a very approachable and personal guy. I don’t personally know him but he has always seemed so accessible. And GREAT AESTHETICS!! Great to hear him openly admit the ideas that he has appreciated and burrowed from other builder folks and implemented in his own developments, not prude at all. THANKS AGAIN for sharing an awesome job!

sweet, audio nerds from east and west are finally united! amazing instrument too ...

Bloody class Collab! The internet is a fantastic place

I guess this guy was a big fan of Isao Tomita. Using the resonant to recreate a whistle sound, (almost bird like) for his recreation of the melody of Claire De Lune from Claude Debussey.

I used to think I was satisfied with my gear and setup... thanks, Hainbach!

This guy makes legit stuff. I wasn't aware he seem to be so "stand alone". I tried his modules back in LA the voltage memory is a great module from his craft.

This video could be a part of a lecture ,about Musik making with electronic instruments.

Meng Qi loves to label his instruments with poetic names, like this one as Wing Pinger in English and 振翅 (Flapping Wings) in Chinese. They sound so scholarly beautiful, both the names and the music!

It's impressing how linear the commands are. It looks like there's no "1/1000th degree and BANG" situation.

Master MengQi! Got a chance to chat with him last year at a synth event, he was very nice and friendly. Glad to see both of you in one video!

This "synth" sounds so promising ! Meng is a wizard ! It's fun to see your enthousiam when Meng discribes the Wing Pinger :) Thank you for sharing these moments !

I'd love to see more vids and interviews with Meng Qi. The way you guys talk and think about music is almost spiritual in nature, very interesting and inspiring to hear.

Always felt mr. Meng Qi will make some chaos circuits. Great stuff!

I realized the secret: this guy caught the forest spirits and locked them in an enchanted box. It's easy to understand)

Is that not how instruments are made? 😐

Was just writing that it kind of reminds me of Rob Hordijk's Benjolin - different but similar - & then you mention it. Love this sort of thing.

It doesn't get more nerdy than this...... love it!

Just had an amazing ASMR experience to this video for some reason. I'm just digging the vocal conversation and musical conversation you two are having. Meng Qi and Hainbach!

Man, I want one of these so much.

What a great interview and such a great idea! Love it!

Jam at the end was gorgeous. Good work, you two!

Most excellent, Meng Qi! Love your work! Thanks for covering this, Hainbach!

Just amazing! What a beautiful device.

Meng Qi makes some great stuff. Really cool to see this interview. If you haven't I would definitely check out his youtube channel. Some very cool things there.

Very cool Meng Qi! Looking forward to seeing this.

Hainbach, you are truly an influence! Keep up the great videos and music. Always looking forward to your next one!

I really love the way the “experimental” music manufacturers are going recently. This reminds me a bit of the Soma Laboratories products too. Meng Qi and a few others are making real instruments that you can play and get lost with for hours, with a coherent design and that produce beautiful sounds

I agree the comparisons with Soma are interesting, particularly with both playing on the line between musicality and chaos. My initial take is that the SOMA are very "hands on" in that the Lyra and Pulsar respond very deliberately and directly to the player's intentions (particularly touching the key contacts) whereas the Weng Pinger seems to have more of an interface between intention and outcome with the chickenheads (but no less beautiful result!) Possibly the Weng Pinger more like the DFAM in that regard - do you have to play the pulses on this the way you have to play the sequencer on the DFAM?

Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter vos improvisations _ c'est un très très beau moment _ bravo à vous

this is a very beautiful conversation, and a good example of an artistic research

Great to hear there'll be a minijack version. Definitely going to check this out later today. Really enjoyed the performances last night!

Amazing instrument, great insights/philosophy re: electronic instruments, and a great jam at the end. I love your channel! I really need to check out the MengQi gear.

This is brilliant. Thank you for introducing me to Meng Qi and the Wing Pinger. What a fantastic instrument!

this was VERY fun to hear - both the conversations and cool demo(s)! Thanks, guys - OMG - sounds BEAUTIFUL!! Great job!

So cool! I love Meng Qi's designs as well, I love the mix of English and Chinese as well.

Don't ever change! You guys are amazing!

Awesome jam at the end, amazing work!

This was really cool Hainbach!

Just before watching this I was thinking of designing a trigger sequencer that takes a lfo signal at the input and uses a state variable filter to adjust the phase and sends it to a series of comparators set to various points of the phase. with a sine wave and no filtering you would get something like a eighth note pattern as you add filtering you increase the swing one way or the other. with more complex signals you would get increasingly chaotic repeating triggers.

There are few things I enjoy more than watching two people use a lingua franca like this.

Wau! this was awesome. Really cool instrument. Love the jam at the ends. It was beautiful.

Loving this box of magical sounds! What a fantastic clever guy Meng Qi is ;-)

This sounds beautiful!

Sounds beautiful!

What a beautiful instrument. The filter I have been waiting for.

This just knocked my socks off. What a beautiful amazing instrument. Very unique. The sound feels very warm and natural. His explanation is very clear. We should start calling him Meng Qi lăoshī! Except for the hair you guys are pretty much alike. ☺

man this is such an intuitive design

Dope interview!

thank you for this! so cool to see Meng Qi interviewed in english!

This is really beautiful!

I love your reactions to this instrument -- you're obviously super excited about what he had to say and what he's done with the Wing Pinger; he does have a really cool way of thinking... Great interview/video.. :-) Also, I love those dials... ok, maybe i should watch the whole thing before commenting -- the jam at the end of the video is awesome...

Fantastic little curiosity. Thanks for showing us!

Great stuff! Love how you two talk shop.

This is truly insanely great!

Wonderful jam!

I have been looking for a long time for a macine that can do what my MicroModular does...I think this is it. SUPER-LIKE!!

Wow, the sounds at arround 16:00 are truly amazing!

this is such a lovely thing to watch! two likeminded musicians chatting and exploring sounds. it is beyond my imagination how he is able to create such beautiful circuits on purpose. loving these organic, intimate sounds!

This was such a fun video!

This was beautiful.

Great work Meng Qi!

Great video. His approach is very interesting. Works very well with your style.

The final jam sounds like Pan Sonic. Very nice instruments and gear. Greetings from Colombia.

The track at the end of this video was so great

that jam was mesmerizing 💖💖😮😮😮👌👌

Wow!! How cool. These videos add real excitement to my day and inspire me to dig into hardware more. What an incredible machine. The pentatonic frequency modulation is such a cool function. Can you do a video about tape machines and digital integration of the signals?

Man, your voice is awesome! Do audio books or something!

Really love the sound but I am wondering how you would implement this in a more traditional setup

Love this, and those sounds :)

It's fucking electronic wind chimes. It's fucking amazing.

I can't wait to buy one of these weird little sonic monsters! Love it.

Looks & sounds nice. I have a nice blue & gold Karp module on order from USA.

So cool! I want one!

That's one hell of an instrument!

That is awesome.

Danke für diesen schöne Überraschung. ein tolles instrument . nice performance together ;) ( wäre gerne in Berlin ;()

Sept. 2020, and no sign of this being for sale anywhere. I hope Meng Qi is happy/healthy. Maybe this will still appear someday.
