I have started to play around with the appegiator wave that I came up with in Prague. Its basically hooking in an LFO to the velocity of an appegiator which makes the sound sweep in and out giving the appegiator more of a live feeling. I came up with the idea when I was on that bridge in Prague and a woman was playing a cello, appegiating over 4 notes and moving in and out which gave it a lot of feeling. I hooked up the device while staying on the farm in Czech and made a piano piece with it which sounds great in reason as the piano is well sampled and responds to changes in velocity.
Today I hear some Spanish sounding music and it was using a very tight change in velocity while appegiating like mad over something. It was an organ sound and had a pop’y feeling to it.
