There is even a dedicated button to generate a baseline.

Yes, and a handy snowflake button to freeze your current track in the DAW, to save on CPU.

Sure!

That's quite understandable. The best modern medical control panels are based on technology DARPA and NASA reverse engineered from captured alien spacecraft.


Note: Similar to the path of electrons through the classic "dual slit" quantum physics experiment, the above statement is both true and untrue — until someone observes it.

This is a medical instrument control panel, which connects via USB:

Just relabel the buttons, add a few mod wheels, and a long horizontal ribbon controller at the bottom, and it would make an awesome VSTi controller!

If the "sound" button produces anything else than airhorn, I will be very disappointed

wouldn't surprise me, it's how we got mobile phones

Tsk tsk...

Of course it should be a cowbell instead!

From buttons that produce air horn sounds?

however this now inspires me to put that X-52 I bought years ago into use and do wubdubs with it

i mean, it does have 6 axises after all (plenty for wubs, dubs and even dabs), even has that red fire button behind a a safe that I could route to an epic airhorn, various switches (beat pattern switches, amirite?) and the "machinegun trigger" would work well for hihats, it has even two stages so I can alternate between triplets and the 16th notes

a & b buttons could be the melody notes, also it has directional controls which you bet I'll use for swapping presets on the fly

and it is a HOTAS so of course it also has the separate throttle, but I'm afraid I can't use it because the only proper use would be sausage fattener and I just never got it

This is our lords year 2019, the cowbell has been replaced by the epic airhorn, and in fact, if we're being strict here, the epic dj airhorn is being replaced as we speak by "bruh sound effect #2"

[EvilDragon]

But you ALWAYS need more cowbell! The famous Bruce Dickinson (yes, THE Bruce Dickinson!) said so

Well you learn something new every day!

That's all up to you and what sound you assign to the button. It could play the sound of a Freightliner diesel truck's air horn, the sound of a vintage AirChime™ model H5 train horn (look it up), an air raid klaxon, a legion of cowbells all playing in unison, or the gentle sound of fallen maple leaves rustling on a crisp and breezy autumn afternoon. It's all up to you.
