Essay / Digital Audio Workstation: Eigenharp Ultra - 1083
John Lambert's global innovation figure, the Eigenharp Alpha, is an electronic fusion of the musical and creative functions and the informal and systematic factors of a workstation digital audio work. After a successful sales pitch to its respective and founded Eigenlabs team, a confident eight-year development plan was launched. The Pico and Tau were also designed as smaller models available to adapted customers. Photo (CC-BY) Thomas Bonte (who is also the creator of the free and open source MuseScore notation software). A Mac console, the Eigenharp Alpha acts as its reference inspiration model, replacing the simple method of plucking keys or strings with interference in the space of one of the 120 notes created by the respective LED-illuminated pads . These LED lights respond to sounds, depending on how fast or slow the sequence is, proving a characteristic of the instrument representing the music it produces. The range of keys carried is accompanied by the possibility of using 12 percussion keys and a mute. option. Notes are ideally activated by the senses and movement of the musician's hands. The variable movement applied to each key and its respective LED light produces a certain sound. In effect, the LED detects and triggers at the micron, interrupting silent stability. The slight pressure detection in sensitivity proves how high or low the expression level can be. A new freedom intercepted with instrumental control is represented by the matrix touchpad where audio maintenance is set in one of 86 scale ranges. Additionally, with each key played, its pitch has omnidirectional control where it can be played in four variations with a simple ...... middle of paper ...... ent thus proves to be the instrument more expressive so far, even if the product can arguably be in another technical league to be allowed to compete within the conventional group. The Eigenharp Alpha is a reimagining of an idea already in its own right while at the same time being a standalone invention. It is suitable for both technical and musical geniuses, and while it may be designed with a certain ability and demographic in mind, the Eigenharp is aimed at casual and learning musicians of any generation. Its smaller versions act as a new instrument model for introduction and improvement. An important factor to emphasize, for the sake of culture and authenticity, is that the physical act and instrumental origins are represented in the correct way for this electronic age, where technology cannot be avoided but the primary idea will not be deleted..
