Playtron - a picture perfect MIDI controller!

‪@PlayTronica‬ sent me their #PLAYTRON #midi controller which enables you to use any conductive object as a "keyboard" for your soft- or hardware #synthesizer . So here's an epic Vangelis-Style performance using some cutlery and the "Celebration" patch of the Yamaha EX5.

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)

Fork Spoonberg back at it again!
This is honestly the coolest piece of musical tech I've seen in a while...

[@ubidefeo]

the best thing one can say is "looks good on social media", and it's still debatable :D

[@mr_floydst]

I'm not saying you're wrong. ;-)
But as I said in the video, my kids loved it / immediately asked "what's this?" and wanted to build something with it. So perhaps that's another way to put this to use.

[@ubidefeo]

@@mr_floydst remember the Makey Makey?
I’m a huge supporter of using these things to teach kids :)

[@hypnoticatrance]

Love that melody!

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks!

[@adrimathlener8008]

Great sound from the Yamaha EX5

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching - yes indeed, that's a great patch. Instant 80s scifi movie soundtrack.

[@hellf.o]

One of the coolest thing I've ever seen..

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching!

[@StepDub]

I presume those are tuning forks😀

[@SebticSmile]

hah, I have this, it's a lot of fun and hugely impractical! Love what you've done here

[@mr_floydst]

Thank you very much! That's about my experience as well. It's fun, but setting up takes a lot of time and then you really can't play fast tunes. Not that I could play fast tunes anyway, but if I wanted to... ;-)

[@arcanics1971]

I can't believe you didn't play "Died in your Arms," by Cutlery Crew! Still, top "Kitchen" draw stuff!
Knife work, sir!

[@EgoShredder]

(Keith) Floyd Steinburger.... 😉 📺👨‍🍳🎣

[@mr_floydst]

Naaah, but here are some songs I briefly thought about playing:
- bad spoon rising
- please forkive me
- cuts like a knife

[@EgoShredder]

@@mr_floydst 🤣

[@saxmidiman]

THIS is what I'm talkin' about!!! Wait till we whip out the pots and pans!!!😁😎

[@mr_floydst]

That's a pantastic idea. I need to figure out wok to play, though

[@_mickmccarthy]

"Alright, let him cook"
"Dammit, not literally!"

[@mr_floydst]

:-)

[@toi_techno]

That's cool

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks!

[@jasontipton1763]

Hey there! What kind of USB to midi device are you using here? I didn't notice you mention it in the video or the description.

[@mr_floydst]

It's a 5pin to usb midi host by Hobbytronics, see th-cam.com/video/iV4OSRG6Kio/w-d-xo.html

[@zoeyzhang9866]

THIS IS SOMTHING called CREATOIN!

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! ;)

[@hermask815]

When our parents told us not to play with the food, they didn’t define what to do with the cutlery. :-)
Anyway WTF …Where‘s The Food ?

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! IDK (In De Kitchen)
