emphasize the various nuances and details of a live vocal performance. This is why many
parameters of synthesis and processing are dynamic, i. e. they change depending on the
parameters of the input signal. Even when using completely synthetic algorithms (e. g.
BASSDRUM), the output includes elements of the live voice input and is very sensitive
to the character of sound articulation. This encourages a very nuanced and dynamic
performance, similar to an acoustic instrument, while having the wide range of colors and
possibilities of an electronic instrument.
You only need one hand to hold and use the PIPE, leaving the other hand free to play
other instruments or control other equipment. The PIPE is powerful enough to hold its
own in a solo performance, or can complement a larger electronic or acoustic setup. The
PIPE also has standard M4 screw holes for attaching it to a stand or neck strap, leaving
both hands free.
The microphone of the PIPE is connected to the body with a regular 6.3 mm jack. This
allows connecting the microphone to an extension cord, putting it in on a mic stand or
placing it inside of or on the surface of an acoustic instrument.
Additionally, it allows using the input jack to connect other signal source and use PIPE as
an FX unit for processing keys, drums etc. It also allows experimenting with other types
of microphones.
