Video of "Alien We Three Kings" with various unusual controllers/synths.

For some of the lead parts in this, I'm using an MRT Audio breath controller (to voltage control a modular synth) in conjunction with expression from the Andromeda (midi to CV converted).  

There are also times I'm soloing or layering a "Real Guitar" acoustic guitar sample set with the Touchkeys.  I LOVE playing that guitar with Touchkeys.  I don't do it on this video but I love turning my wrist 45 degrees and sweeping side to side (really up and and down) the black keys for a really nice vibrato/bend. 

In the video I'm also at times driving 2 independant channels of bright LED lighting control from the Touchkeys and breath in varying combinations to match the sound modulation. 

I've had the Touchkeys a while and finally got them used in a video/recording.  

Thank you, Andrew, for this amazing form of expression!

Just found the Touch Keys group. Just watched your videos. Love the expression you use. And Christa patching the synth is priceless. Thanks for sharing.
