Joué Play | 4-in-1 Portable Digital Instrument, with Powerful and Easy-to-use Musical App Included - Plug & Play Music

Product Information

There's no obvious physical orientation to the pad, but it can be placed any way round on the Joué and still work.

The playing surfaces are highly sensitive to touch and you can get a much greater dynamic response than you would expect from something with no moving parts. I intend to keep the script extremely simple and performant so I can use it on my rpi 0 which takes care of the wireless connection currently. eligible countries: Germany, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Guadeloupe, French Guyana, Hungary, Ireland, Italia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Martinique, Mayotte, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czechia, La Réunion, Romania, United Kingdom, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland. NothanUmber I’ve perused the memory blocks on the modules and I’m seeing something resembling an XML structure or at least sets of nested parameters. Remix your favorite song on the subway, create rhythms with friends and family or sketch out your track of the year in the park.

I’m already using my own dodgy midi processing script with this device at the moment, because I wanted to convert the MPE Y CC74 messages into aftertouch messages for use with certain hardware synths. There are two configurable buttons, which I found most useful when programmed as toggles for the vibrato and bending functions. There can be several reasons why you may experience latency when using any MIDI controller with a Bluetooth audio device. The J-App provides you with tutorials and a library of covers updated every month to interpret or remix. The board is made from French beechwood, and metal, and feels more substantial than the average budget controller with wooden elements reminiscent of Snyderphonics Manta, and Livid Instruments’ Ohm.

And then at some point I think they deleted their old forum where this communication happened, so I dont even have reference to that bit of history now. This is a very well-thought-out product and gives users the full progress from a simple app on the iPhone, to the iPad, to the computer, and then on to fully blown DAWs or VJ software. Channel aftertouch is generated in isolation from each pad, so if you press multiple pads at once, the value transmitted will jump around inconsistently. The Joue Play combines an expressive multi-instrument, an intuitive application and interactive content to practice.The magnets have worked pretty well but sadly I made my board a bit creaky since the sticky underside of the sensor isn’t… sticking as much. The Joué application identifies the board and pad immediately, and shows installed packs and projects, including a selection of how-to examples, like Massive Attack’s Tear Drop or Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy. Equipped with a pressure sensitive multi-touch sensor, the Joué Play draws its unique expressiveness from an expertise developed with its ancestor the Lemur, pioneer of multi-touch controllers. And then, I guess you’d set those to MPE, each with a unique range of five channels so they don’t clobber each other? I hoped it was just a firmware issue but when I asked on the official forum that they used to run years ago, they said it was a sensor limitation.

For testing I used ROLI Equator and FXpansion Cypher2 (which are MPE-capable), both stand-alone and in Bitwig Studio, and I also fired up Cycling '74 Max to inspect MIDI controller messages more closely.For more experienced players, there’s the MPE functionality and this is one of the most affordable ways to get into the MPE control world. I’ve been running the board the the RPI on a 5000mah battery for the last 3 hours without the charge dropping so this seems like a great thing to DIY. Since the projects are routing MIDI by channel, they don't attempt to make use of MPE (which is only a loss for Bitwig, since Live doesn't support MPE anyway), so if you want to adapt these projects as a starting point you'll need to turn off MPE for any modules you want to use. I was pleasantly surprised to note that MPE glide between keys arrived at the correct pitch regardless of the selected scale.

Curiously, any changes made in the editor have to be dropped on to this image to take effect — there's no incremental editing process. It's possible to pitch bend along a string (a gesture referred to as vibrato), but the most extreme pitch bending (which is upwards only) comes from the 'bending' gesture, pushing strings upwards or downwards. My hope is I can force the matrix pads into a glissando mode that we all so desire, and get a knock-off linnstrument. Play and experiment with a multitude of effects by varying the pressure of your fingers to adjust their intensity. The others can be assigned a variety of MIDI messages, or act as toggles for other modes like sustain and vibrato.

MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) allows digital instruments to behave more like acoustic instruments in terms of spontaneous, polyphonic sound control. e. 0-64, 65-127), but this can be compensated with an inertia function: providing infinite granularity based on a time-scale change. You can use RFID to harvest a little bit of energy (up to 3V at 10mA ) to charge a capacitor to run LEDs. Combined with the ability to layer sounds, you can make multi-part, multi-instrument projects and then export them as audio mixdowns, stems or MIDI files.
