Anyma Information.

frank

Hi
I am very tempted to add the Anyma Phi to my windcontroller. I am looking for information, and see all most all is in Kickstarter, while to me the best place is here.. Maybe it is not a bad idea to at least duplicate announcements updates at least also here?

Kind Regards

Frank

@frank For now the majority of updates will be kept on the Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaign pages as they relate more to early backers. Once we have completed production and shipped to our early backers, we can start posting updates on here as well! Feel free to have a look at our updates on Indiegogo and Kickstarter!

Hi, from the manual:
“ When no external input is plugged into your Anyma Phi, the right audio input is auto- ma􏰀cally connected to the internal piezoelectric contact microphone that is placed behind the logo on the front panel.
When used in a sound, this means you can tap and scratch around on the en􏰀re case of your Anyma Phi to create a wide variety of percussive effects.”

Please allow two questions about that:

The information above is no accurate, since I have no audio input connected, but still not all the patches can be used with the contact microphone, right?
We are encourage to tap and scratch the surface… but how safe is this? Could excessive force damage Anima Phi? How resistant to scratches is the finish of Anima Phi? Scratching on a piezo is great fun, but how long until the finish shows signs of wear?

@friendly-noise I think i can answer the first question.
To use the piezo in a patch you first need to route it, so for example, fill a mod slot with an env follower triggered by audio right, now you have a modulation source which responds to the piezo, you can now use this to modulate whatever you want within a patch.

@friendly-noise As for the second question: so far in our testing the finish has been resistant but you should avoid scratching with things like sharp metallic objects on the lettering directly if you don't want to damage the finish! Other than that it's quite resistant. Let us know what you use to strike the piezo!
