I have been so impressed by this video that I thought trying to replicate some of its functionality with a G2 performance.
I started building a 128 filters bank, each one triggering 128 different midi note send, but I was unhappy with the result because I couldn't find a cheap way to handle correctly envelopes->velocity having 32 bands per slot.
So I opted for generating the sound directly, with 128 sine oscillators tuned on the same frequency of the filters.
The outcome is strange, maybe not new, but could serve as a building block if someone is willing to tweak it.
Some notes:
It was tricky to find the right Q for the filters because when too narrow they resonate, giving a "reverb" effect, if too coarse they excite adjacent notes,
I went for a little resonating thing.
I kept attack and release of envelope followers as short as possible but not too much, in order to avoid "spikes", anyway basically nothing of the input wave pass thru them, the sound is entirely generated by the oscillators.
The last highest nine bands are biased by constants because oscillators and filters are offset by 9 steps (just for your dog, anyway..)
The performance uses only one voice (made up of 128 oscillators) so I think it should run on an unexpanded G2.
