That's really nice Clive.  I wish I'd purchased Squeezy's Streb now  :(

Ooh, so do I....

Thanks folks - I've said it before, lots, but the Streb is an amazing, amazing piece of kit. I'm still finding new things it can do. This particular ipad/midi trick has *lots* of potential, and it's really odd playing on this string section setting - anything I play automatically arranges itself as a string quartet arrangement! Steve's making Strebs again Pete... go on, you know you want to...

i've just been syndicating this (assume its the one on Clive's FB) down the Rhône valley, where it'll be respected, and adored as Britanique ;D

Clive, I'm on an iPad just now, hence my tpyos ;) Is this an app, or something built in?

Really nice clean cooker and worktops. (:)......

It's all done in an app called ThumbJammer which is all I needed with the Streb. Michael Eskin's done similar work getting a FR18 to play Thumbjammer on iPad which is where I nicked the idea from (see FR18 thread), though he's using it to play his own melodeon samples - which he has very generously donated to the ThumbJammer community. Michael has to use one or two other apps to connect up the FR18, but I find the Streb worked pretty much out of the box with ThumbJammer. You also need an iRig Midi interface, which comes in 2 versions depending on which iPad connector you need. Michael's samples are good, and I was originally planning to do something using those, but then I got distracted :-)

Cheers,

Clive

Gosh it's been a while. Thought I'd try and find some time to start playing again.

I've been missing melnet so thought it would be a good starting point...(excuse the recording quality)

Welcome back, Sandy - we've missed you!
Lovely playing, as always (:).  Great rhythmic bounce, especially the gap in the fifth bar of the the B-music, which always makes this tune so joyful in my opinion. It fits the eponymous dance so well when played like that too - the dancers are supposed to clap twice in time to the music at that point.

Welcome back Sandy.  To me your rendition was  a ten out of tenner  as it more than passed  the essential  dance music test of getting my foot tapping spontaneously.  It also demonstrated the oft forgotten merit  of 'keep it simple'

A few words about learning tunes you like and tunes you don't. You've made me realize that when I learn a tune I love I tend to learn the melody (well, what I decide should be the melody, anyway), and then I play it over, letting variations come by themselves. That usually happens, but it can take some time! With a tune i'm not found of, I tend to plan some variation from the beginng. That's what I've done in fact with "Haste to the Wdding" (or at least I tried to, having learned it after it was voted tune of the month).

As a non musical reason to learn it, I could add one of its alternative titles. Can you figure yourself announcing: people, I'm going to play you "Mary, Cut Your Toenails You’re Tearing All The Sheets"?  ;)

Here is a brief, unpracticed demo of a red Paolo Soprani Pepperpot in D playing TOTM "Haste to the Wedding".

I wasn't going to participate, but I need to get over the nerves whilst playing in front of people (or cameras), so here it is. I learnt this only on Monday so it is quite rough around the edges, but this is the best take out of a bad lot. Apologies for the uniform, and for the faces  :P

Haste to the Wedding

Also have just noticed how difficult the basses are to hear in the video. They are there, but I do need to learn to use the air button and not lose all sound from my left hand.

That's really quite remarkable, Clive. The sound doesn't sound "synthesized", but very much like ... well, a string quartet. Can you explain a little more, for the tech-challenged, how this works? Are the sound samples coming from Thumbjammer? How does the Streb play these? Is the bellows pressure able to control the phrasing? Are you playing it through the Streb speakers & then recording that?

Nice steady playing, sensitive touch! Look forward to hearing more of these. Seen worse face as well!
