… Wine Glass VSTi preliminary idea …

I thought I would post a little more information about the “Wine Glass” VSTi I have proposed in my recent poll.

If it wins, the instrument will likely have 36 notes (similar to the 37 found on Benjamin Franklin’s Armonium) and be sample based. I will try and get 36 discrete tones by rubbing my finger on various glasses and goblets filled to pitches matched with my chromatic tuner. I’m not sure if I will be able to recreate some of the lower octaves due the the physical size of my wine glasses.

Maybe I’ll go buy a big one … I don’t know. An enormous frat boy margarita glass for the bass notes? I’m sure Ben Franklin would be proud.

The VSTi will have ADSR amplitude controls, a filter of some sort, reverb, and some other things yet to be determined.

This instrument could only be named one thing:

The ARMANIUM!!!!!!

PS –

If you have voted for something else … the game isn’t over yet!
