Today I viewed a presentation by Alex Vittum. Alex is a professional percussionist based out of the east that is heavily involved with creating instruments and processors.
Beginnings
*Graduate School @ Mills
*Under Graduate @ Eddington
*Met Dr. Waters around 2001 (working Cubase)
Currently
* Works as an elementary school teach
* Builds instruments and
* Records at a studio in the East Bay
During the presentation Alex talked about his method for creating...
* Prissim (through Max 5) then highlighted the three elements that were alterable Timber - (color), Amplitude - (volume) & Frequency - (Pitch)
Note: GUI - Graphic User Interface
Then he walked through the various module within Max 5. Many of the modules resembled the functionality of the xpand plugin in pro tools. The difference in Mr. Vittums approach was that his processing was happening on the fly through a midi controller located on his drum kit.
He also spoke on how he used feed back from the speakers located directly behind him to further alter the sounds produced from the kit.
Next he displayed a processor, that was combined digital and analog. He spoke on the different methods of use and showed a couple examples using the midi keyboard. He also highlighted that fact that everything could be either digital with the exception of patching
