Personally I wouldn't agree with Sound On Sound in calling it true physical modelling. It's more IMHO about some kind of 'modulation' if that's the proper terms. The Wavedrum uses PCM combined with DSP processing. It will produce feedbacks in a live setting just about as a microphone will. As for the output of data, I included just a fraction in my reply to Jeanette. There are a lot. It would certainly need a special interface to get these out then a special interface to read them in. MIDI will most likely not be up to it. Korg would have to invest a lot in creating a new range of synthesizers that could accept that kind of percussion input - not sure if that's a good business plan. Same with editing the performance before it becomes audio. Yes, it is an instrument by itself. Much like a conga and djembe are. We already have since ages now velocity and pressure drum heads that interfaces through MIDI. What makes the Wavedrum different is what remains inside, in the processing, eg. all of those editable parameters and algorithms that characterizes a single sound hit that would need to get out of the instrument in digital format for it to supply information for an actual modelling synthesizer that could make use of all these (proprietary) inputs. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
