If you like synth pads & drones...

This is something I wanted to post a while back but never got around to it....until now.
I want to show you a little demo about a small synth unit that can easily fit in the back of a rack.
You can play synths using MIDI.
It uses standard GM sounds.
This is the website for the little thing:

Here's a pic of the gizmo:

I've installed it in my rack to test it:

In case you can't find it... it's at the top on the right :)

You can just as easy install it at the back since it doesn't take up that much space:

This is how I programmed the notes in my Gordius:

I use variables to play the notes.
First of all I turn all notes off. This is from when I'm comming from another chord.
Then I put the correct values in the variables
Next I turn on the notes using the variables.
If I push longer than 0.48 seconds, it turns the notes off.

So I programmed three chords for this demo:

Here's my preset:

I added a pitch shifter adding an octave above and below plus a Plex Shift to create the shimmer.
For other so,ngs where I use the Gizmo, I rarely have to add anything except for a delay.
You can also turn on various effects in the Gizmo but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

So here's a little clip to demonstrate how it sounds:
 
Cool stuff! Slightly too complicated for me, but a nice device.
Cheap too.
 
It's nothing like the Sonuus G2M.
That's a device to convert guitar to Midi. But you should be able to connect both units and play synths.
 
Clever! I have LG2 so this is interresting.

But I didn't find much drome/pad demos on the web. How good is this thing?
