Unlock more with Airwave
Since launching Airwave, we've been excited to share just how transformative the power of Spatial Expression can be in music production and performance. Now, join ROLI Sound Design and Innovation Manager Marcus Levy-Chance (also known as Synthetic Epiphany) as he shares a few choice tips that'll transform your music-making with Airwave even further. Whether you're looking to streamline your workflow, be more expressive with your performances, or supercharge your existing MIDI keyboards and synths, there's a way to do it with Airwave.
Use Airwave as a live audio effects controller
Link your different audio effects to each Air gesture and control the parameters of your live performance with each hand movement. Make Airwave do whatever you want for some fun and inventive musical performances that only you can create.
Trigger samples with the flick of a wrist
Whether you’re trying to create on the fly and find inspiration, or want to add more dynamic expression to your live sets, Airwave allows you to perform and create with total freedom. Link your favorite samples to any of the Air gestures and shape your sound, add sonic depth and textures in an intuitive way.
Add hand-tracking expression to your hardware synths
Connect your hardware synths to Airwave and explore new dimensions of creativity. In this video, Marcus demonstrates how, by connecting his ASM Hydrasynth with Seaboard 2, acting as a USB MIDI hub routing all the data from Airwave to the hardware synth. By assigning different parameters from the Hydrasynth to Airwave's gestures, you can experiment and create with your existing hardware in completely new ways.
