This is what irks me about Tassman (and also the more recent AAS instruments). I'd like to change many of the parameters of the models while I'm playing the instrument, but I can't.CinningBao wrote:the Reaktor version can be properly broken (in the sense that the values which describe the nature of the models can be quite easily manipulated.. in realtime) which, due to the way Tassman obsfucates some of the model parameters from realtime play, is a touch more fun
Look at Kaivo by Madrona Labs. You can wildly modulate every parameter of the granulator and the resonating material and the resonating body, and have the pickups zooming over the surface of the instrument. Maybe I can figure out how to use Reason to modulate the knobs that AAS doesn't give you a way to modulate - but what I really want to modulate is the parameters Tassman doesn't even give you knobs for (like the numerical parameters you have to specify when you create a resonator, for example).
To tie this back to the OP's question - I agree with CinningBao, Reaktor will give you more to play around with, if that's what you want to do.
PS: AAS, if you're listening, please open up all the parameters and give us ways to modulate them. Thank you.
