Drumstrum with a BopPad and QuNexus and some subtitles explaining what's going on!
A quick demo from my office setup where I'm building my DrumStrum app. This is just using two controllers for midi input: A McMillan Boppad and a QuNexus. The keyboard (qunexus) is supplying chords to the Drumstrum brain, which does various things with them, including saving them to the buffer, where the drums can trigger different actions on those very notes, or notes related to them. The Boppad is set to trigger on 16 distinct regions, which is a feature I built into Boppad to get around the 4 midi note issues and the lets say incomplete Max4Live objects. And those 16 pads are outputting strumming actions that are configured in DrumStrum. There are a lot of options and you can decide how you want to configure the actions on any number of midi controllers. DrumStrum can transform the midi from your controller to do other things too, such as pass through the chords the keyboard's playing, which in this demo are latched - ie the chord is held until you play a new chord, output GM Drum mapped notes, or any number of custom mappings. This way you can create maps to trigger things like articulations in your synths and VST's. More will be explained and documented soon as I work hard to get a beta release up on the website. Thanks for watching!
