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!

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!)
