Loïc demonstrates his FTM Synthesizer on Erae Touch

demo FTM Synthesizer

A demonstration by independent researcher Loïc Jankowiak, who visited LS2N in 2023 and 2024 as part of the ApEx project of Han Han.

This is an in-progress build of a physically-modelled drum synthesizer using the Functional Transformation Method (FTM), with external MIDI control. The Embodme Erae Touch control surface is used for the velocity and impact position on the virtual drum’s surface, and the Behringer X-Touch Mini is used for controlling the various parameters of the physical model, i.e. the material properties.
