I have started to log key areas of my research in, what will eventually become, sprawling posts on the subject. These will feature the latest findings at the top and act a some sort of replacement for my now defunct Twitter feed, where I would often post rambling threads on a topic that featured multiple video demos. Where relevant, they will also feature design files, links to parts etc…for those wishing to build on my experiments.

Without worrying about definitions too much, feedback is the gift that keeps on giving. I’ve been making feedback instruments (in the explicit and non-explicit sense) for many years now. It even has its own area on this site. It’s such a rich field, which is why whole research groups are devoted to its exploration.

The bulk of my focus in this area is on feedback surfaces and machine playability. In the context of ams, feedback surfaces have proved so fruitful that I have even ended up incorporating piezo mic and drivers in the module cases, creating opportunities for whole case feedback…

Starter for 10…

The first ams feedback surface actually pre-dates ams having module cases at all. It was one of the first modules created and the black feedback surface shown below is an oft-used ams instrument today.

Cue more tat on the feedback surface.
