Robkoo showcased their Wind Synthesizer R1 at NAMM 2023, and Sonic State had the opportunity to speak with Tianbang Zhuang about this unique musical instrument. Priced at $600, the R1 is designed to be a low-entry barrier model that allows beginners to learn and play music quickly. However, experienced musicians can also enjoy its high potential as a MIDI controller that supports Bluetooth MIDI.
The Wind Synthesizer R1 comes with an onboard sound bank that can be upgraded by users themselves. It features motion control, pitch bend, octave keys, and function buttons that can lock the user into specific techniques. The latest sound bank version has 30 sounds, including brass, woodwinds, and synths.
Wind Synthesizer R1 Price: 600 USD

Good evening Mr. TIAMBANG!

Ah, wired MIDI. Takes away the latency people were talking about with the Re.Corder. I also like the semitone keys instead of trying to cover half a recorder hole with a finger.

BLE MIDI has a decent latency. But it's also nice to see this had wireless and wired both

@@gautrstafr BLE (and BLE MIDI) is known to have variable latency and jitter, depending on different vendor implementations and operating system driver support. Some people get so unlucky to experience even 50ms latency! I'm currently experimenting with my own wireless MIDI solution with Arduino microcontrollers and NRF24L01 transceivers. This way it is possible to eliminate BLE issues (protocol overhead and transmitting windows, mostly caused by aggressive power-saving optimizations - it's called Low Energy for a reason). With a custom solution, a sub-1ms latency is achievable between the hardware devices themselves. However, USB polling at the driver level adds 2-10ms above that, and there's nothing to fix this. But that is pretty much negligible.

i've had my eye on wind synths for awhile, this looks and sounds like one of the coolest ones

So much weird stuff this year ❤

Can you set sclaes in the app so that you only play notes within a certain scale?

@robkoo_official Жыл бұрын

There are custom fingerings but I get what you mean. Did came across this question a few times during the show. It is not a hard software update to make, we will think about it!

I realize that English isn't this person's first language, so I commend him on his pitch but you just KNOW he spent hours in front of a mirror getting that right! Haha.

@robkoo_official Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I actually spent 3 years in the UK so it saved me a lot of hours for that pitch. Still quite challenging though, camera may come to you any time during the show😅

@@robkoo_official it was well pitched. If you managed to catch me in an lift/elevator, you'd have had my attention. You should hear me speak Mandarin... I can't. Haha.

@@robkoo_official Actually, I do have a question regarding this.... Can you use this to control a 3rd party hardware synth or a 3rd party software synth, or is it bound to only the built in ones? The videos I've seen don't really make that clear.

@robkoo_official Жыл бұрын

@@JayKaufman It is a qualified MIDI controller thar connects to all. Hardware synths should work but you may need a solution for connection because they may not come with Bluetooth or USB MIDI input.
