STC-1000 Video Clips

To demonstrate "a few" of the STC-1000's capabilities, we have created some short video clips of the STC in action. Please bear in mind that these clips were not done professionally. Soon, we will create some higher quality clips.

Viewing Notes:

Depending on the speed of your system and internet connection, the videos may not sync well on the first play. If this is the case, after the video clip has played once, press play on your media viewer and the clip should sync well on the second viewing as it will be cashed on your system.

Clip 1: Get Melodic

This is an example of the STC configured with 2 note arpeggios per zone. It makes for a very interesting surface on which you can get very musical.

Windows Format: arp.mpg
Apple Quick Time: arp.mov


Clip 2: Be a Lounge Lizard

In this clip, chords have been assigned to some of the zones on the left side of the surface which trigger an organ and single notes on the right side of the pad trigger bass notes.

Windows Format: chords.mpg
Apple Quick Time: chords.mov


Clip 3: Drums

The STC is configured as a simple drum trigger with 1 different drum per zone. It will also serve up a classic example of what happens when a guitar player tries to demo a drum pad..ahem!

Windows Format: drums.mpg
Apple Quick Time: drums.mov


Clip 4: Percussion

Same idea as clip 4 and again performed by a blushing guitar player!

Windows Format: perc.mpg
Apple Quick Time: perc.mov

Clips 5: Control

This clips shows the STC-1000 configured in a variety of ways to control elements such as faders, buttons and XYZ zones. You can easily imagine these modalities being applied to applications like Sonar, Cubase, Reason, Plug Inns and Soft-Synths like those made by Native Instruments and Arturia.

Prototype Video Clips:

The following video clips were originally meant to demonstrate some of the functionalities of the NTP-01. The NTP-01 is the Tactex controller on which the STC-1000 is based. I have added them as these clips will clearly display the ability of the NTP-01 and the STC-1000 to precisely capture tap and deliver excellent dynamic range.

The unit shown in these clips is the prototype device. In order to demonstrate the NTP-01, we packaged it with some digital electronics that output MIDI in a funky wooden box.

Please note that this mode involved some firmware that is not implemented in the STC-1000. Namely, when you hit a note, it stayed on even after you released your finger. When you tapped again, you could send a note off message. This could be implemented in software and I decided to leave this clip up as it shows another way the technology can be used.

(Also note at the end of this clip how well volume is mapped to touch..great dynamic range!)
