Lié takes a very, very, VERY long time to scan plugins! Orders of magnitude slower than Cubase or Cantabile. The only downside I can think of is that a rig like this is going to be almost as difficult to play properly as “real” instruments… I mean, once you’re past the basics on the cello, controlling bow speed, weight, or position is not impossibly difficult, nor is shifting with expressive slides, or vibrato - but to actually play well, you need to do all those things together in an accurate and expressive manner. My first thought was to use a Touché together with the BBC2 (since I’m no big fan of the tilt and bite features), as an upgrade from the old wheels + aftertouch, but given the expressive capabilities of the Touché alone, I’d probably use the BBC2 only for actual wind instrument style playing, or if I really need multiple simultaneous dimensions of… extreme expression. Most importantly, unlike wheels etc, it can do percussive stuff, much like you can do with tongue technique with a breath controller - but maybe even more agile than that, since you have multiple fingers.Ī bit like the bow of bowed strings instruments, turning the keyboard into a fingerboard… And on that note, it would seem more intuitive to me to use it with the right hand, but OTOH, I’m not great at playing melodies and chords on keyboards with my left hand… Easy enough to switch as needed, though. Kind of looks like the best of wheels, sticks, and breath controllers rolled into one. Just started researching it, actually, and might grab one one of these days.
