For any ciat heads that find themselves in or near Washington DC over the holidays make sure to stop by Rhizome, we're hosting a first-ever career retrospective of Peter's work. Will include many ancient/rare instruments as well as the debut of a brand new paper circuit assemblage that Peter is desi...

So very sad to hear this. Mike created something that has touched so many people, providing a space for connection, learning and community.
RIP Mike

yep i'm planning on making a video tutorial for the new opcodes, just need to find the time. but its high on my list so hopefully will be soon!

yeah that's a good idea..ok i'll make one for the new shtar opcodes. and maybe some others, if there's interest. does anyone know..can i use quicktime on mac to do both screen capture and audio..if so, how? in the past i used a 3rd party program to do the tutorials but that was with my prior computer.

i deleted the original post..please post your ad in the B/S/T.
thanks

yeah the frets are set at 17ET.
though Fish still uses just intonation to set the oscillator tunings, so if you’re using the computer music section you can set any ratio you choose for that. the position of the switch then determines if the computer music gets added to or multiplied by the acoustic.

nice!

no you can’t unfortunately.

i'm mostly curious about the accoustic aspects of the shtar...do the silver and brass screw positions correspond to diatonic scale notes? if so, how closely do they correspond? the silver screws indicate major intervals and the brass screws neutral ones, as found in arabic music. i find that the fr...

i've got one here if you have any questions

the next step involves adding a 'meta-layer' to fishsoup, allowing you to dynamically manage presets/soups and adding higher level capabilities to the host computer side of things. note that there are 4 new opcodes introduced for shtar but which also work with shnth (melody, worm, scale, ladder). I ...

yeah peter's been working on it..i think he's pretty close to finishing up fishsoup (the new name for fish). he's got plans to expand it even further but not sure what the timing of that will be.

this is really turning my head. talking my brother who plays strings to get into this, thinking of splitting it with him The shbobo system scares me a bit though, i dont like computers. Bartlebooth, My question is regarding the "fish" and opcodes. Were you into the the Shbobo or Shnth before starti...

Is the USB cable just to reprogram and/or charge the (presumably internal) battery? Or does it need to be plugged in all the time? Also, the are the 2 input jacks for euro stuff the ones next to the knobs? there is a battery so usb is just to charge/reprogram (though i usually leave it plugged in w...

yeah one's audio and one's USB.
you can both acoustic and shnth sounds together with the switch up

How does it compare to the original one? the biggest difference from namastitar is that rather than just having a ringmod effect, it now has full computer music (shnth). there is a 3-way switch, middle is acoustic only (it becomes a 17ET 4-string tar), up is acoustic + computer music, down is acous...

just to be clear is the shnth heart essentially the same as the current shnth? is there anyway to insert other sounds into it to access the ringmod effect? like on the shnth there is a mic/input is that hardwired to the 'tar? this is looking pretty sweet yes, shtar is powered by a shnh brain, you u...

yeah i've had a prototype for about 3 months or so..its rad! How does it compare to the original one? I'm mainly thinking in terms of the electronic side of things. With the original one I used to really enjoy sweeping through the electronic tone while "riding" the contact make, using it as a kind ...

yeah i've had a prototype for about 3 months or so..its rad!

yeah it was a store in the mushroom mall..along with shbobo, tranoe, iaskul f mobenthey, bingmill, fyrall and the others. somewhere in the pdf docket on synthmall is a scan of the canonical drawing itself

he was out of town last week, that may have something to do with it

shnth battery life seems fine to me but i usually use it with USB attached if i'm going to be playing it for more than 10-15 minutes. usually its because i like to change patches on the fly but also, if playing a show, why take a chance? you need a cable attached to take the audio to the PA anyway.....

It's definitely happening

yep it will use Fish, with some added fret opcodes
