We are looking for the stratus midi Kontakt script ;)

exactly that. I'm in the middle of having a main desk designed to my personal needs, and I really thought I had my design nailed... then I saw this one... The way the 88 keys are just kind of embedded into the wood, as if they are part of the desk itself... God I love it !! :O

It’s not an 88-key controller. 😉

Totally ❤️

Not even that, the pianos plays a rhythm from the Stratus, he's just laying down chords. WHAAAATTTTT

Insane!

Good grief, is there anybody at Avid these days still on ProTools dev team? It's like they've just given up, left some poor intern in charge and gone to the pub... for five years

Haha, was thinking the same thing 😁

See you soon!

Lightbulb moment for me, too

and what a bonus ending

See you soon!

Assuming humanity survives the next 2 centuries lol.

Not sure Stratus is capable of doing that, unfortunately.

He said he was on the sofa, so it wasn't remotely. So I guess the Ableton sessions were synced up, and Bonobo's audio was routed through his mixer?

I bet yes.

I'm watching this after it ended so my guess is yes

He already does :-)

I have asked the same question. Waiting for an answer from Spitfire… That would be something else if it would send MIDI data or something like that!!

The Stratus VST Olafur is using is a custom built VST. The Spitfire plugin was based off of his version, they're not the same. Sadly, you can't route the Spitfire VST to anything other than the sounds it's provided you with at the moment. Hoping that they'll add this feature, but I really doubt they will

The synths must be retrofitted with MIDI. A polyphonic MIDI-to-CV converter of some sort. Either that, or he has a special computer interface that translates the Stratus notes into CV. It is a shame that the Spitfire version doesn’t send the matrix signals as MIDI. That would make it a no-brainer purchase.

@@anatomicallymodernhuman5175 I was very torn about buying it for that reason. In the end, I did, but I find without the MIDI capability, it's too recognisable as Spitfire's Stratus. Giving us the opportunity to use our own sounds would take it to the next level.

@@anatomicallymodernhuman5175 Thank you!

I'd love to know this aswell.

This is what i just read on the Spitfire site: Stratus is made up of curated loops which were programmed at the time of recording. Our library recorded the audio outputs from the two Pianos and Synths. Stratus therefore does not send MIDI outputs. An alternative is to use Stratus as a clock for your synths. Send the audio output of Stratus to a separate output of your Audio Interface. Patch this output into the clock input of your hardware synth. When this synth is then in Arpeggio modes, it will then respond in time with the random patterns of Stratus.

@@papapilar3 Great, thanks a million!

@@papapilar3 , that answer boils down to, “Learn to code.” 😂

No 6 people are not into this kind of “music” , that’s all. They should have just moved on like I’m getting ready to do. It’s cool for those that fond it so. , I’m a little bit more on the organic side.

Go to gearspace and you’ll find plenty of discussion about this ;) In short it’s because computers can’t mimic the creativity and liveliness of analog gear and physical instruments.

As 18 Hands says, it's mostly about hands on control, imperfections in oscillators, happy accidents, all leading to more creativity. Also, for some people, they want to get away from the computer. Also, limitations can intensify the creative process. But also there is sound. Tom Holkenborg, who scored Justice League, Mad Max:Fury Road, will do his initial demos for the studio on virtual orchestras. But for the final version, the studio will hire a full real orchestra which he scores and records. Sometimes, synthetic sounds can't cut it, and for Hollywood even, they wold rather spend $500k recording a real orchestra than save money on a virtual orchestra, because they feel the money is well spent and the audience will notice the difference Horses for courses though. Some of the greatest artists work entirely in the box and get fantastic results.

Not totally unrelated - it seems to be the same with guitar amps to some extent nowadazs. Today the VST processors sound outright incredible (I use several), but nothing gives you the buzz and response of 100W of valves/tubes purring, ready to blast anything in the way ;)

@@andrewsmith8762 Completely agree, and for some it's a creative advantage to work in the box, not a limitation. We all have our own preferences and comfort zones - horses for courses, as you say. Someone with a background in IT, for example, might be way more comfortable with a keyboard and mouse than twiddling knobs when it comes to expressing themselves musically. Doesn't mean their approach yields less valid results (as much as some would like to suggest) 👍

I think they're just zoomed

It’s just Pro-Tools waveform zoomed heavy and full!

Yes but he also wasn't looking for sonic perfection. he may have wanted clipping on the track. There's a ton of noise and crackle but it sounds fantastic
