Les Chemins de Traverse

Le Flute Market Index (FMI) ouvre en forte hausse. La chute de l'action des Chemins de Traverse n'a pas réussi à enrayer la progression de l'indicateur, porté par l'envolée de Renggli©, Bellavance™, Moutier&Pupulin et Rigou Corp. Et maintenant la météo....

Premier jour de l'Académie La Côte 2023. Masterclasses, conférence sur la lutherie augmentée (changée in english au dernier moment!), introduction aux ateliers de la semaine: une journée riche en rencontres et en échanges. La semaine s'annonce intense et très positive!

Arrivée à Nyon (VD/CH) à la veille du début de l'Académie La Côte. Nous sommes (presque!) prêts pour l'accueil des étudiants.

When I play the harpejji, I usually run the bass side through an equalizer to get a more balanced sound over the whole instrument. Then I've got some reverb and, from time to time, a couple of effects. I've been doing it through my usual gig rig, with a laptop and a rack with a big sound interface, a reverb unit, a mixer... It works very well, but it makes moving the whole thing quite tiresome.

I've got this bela board sleeping on a shelf... wouldn't it be cool if I could use it as a very portable DIY FX box?

However, after some exploration, it seems pyo doesn't work any more on the bela, and I don't want to develop a whole new processing chain with a new tool. I guess I'll have to find another way to do it...

When I bought my harpejji back in 2013, the only available case was a very sturdy, but also very heavy, flight case. That doesn't encourage carrying the instrument around. So I decided to purchase a soft case with backpack strap so that it gets easier to take it with me for a rehearsal or a gig. As it happens, the Mono Vertigo Keyboard 61 Case fits the instrument perfectly!
