Hi, can you nurse an external piezo or contact mic to trigger Anyma’s Phi internal sounds?

Another video as effects processor.

Video says it all. :-)

Hi, is a plugin/VST version of the editor coming? That would be wonderful.

Another demo with percussive sounds here:

Nice work showing off how to play and vary the sounds! Great range of expression.

Thanks for your comment. :-)

I made already a playlist:

Not the fist day anymore, but still a video. :-)

Flux controlling Anima Phi

Update: connecting both Anima Phi and Seaboard to the computer, Anima Phi didn’t freeze anymore. The question arises: does Anima Phi supply enough power to connect the Seaboard straight to the USB host post?

However, I couldn’t use the Seaboards onboard controls or aftertouch with the included presets. Maybe they are not programmed to be used with my Seaboard settings?

I will keep investigating.

Hi, I tried the Seaboard after making a template following the actual midi settings of Anima Phi (which are slightly different that the midi settings on the manual). Using channel aftertouch, not polypressure. Anima Phi keeps freezing after some notes. After switching on and off, Anima Phi only works again if I switched off also the Seaboard before switching on Anima Phi.

Possible causes:

• Is the Seaboard sending too much information and makes Anima Phi freeze?
• Is the Seaboard getting enough power from the host USB port on Anima Phi?

I will keep experimenting later today…

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?
