I have been in and out , on and off lately. My hands have becomed painful once more, especially the left one so I will have to stop playing guitar for a while (I hope) and hopefully with no Carpal Tunnel surgery in sight.
I will be in the forum but for a while I have to stop testing - making some videos and playing.
Maybe Ole could create a ‘Brain to MIDI’ interface so that I can play with my mind but I think it won’t happen very soon, at least without neuralink …
I wish you a fast recovery, pasha! Hope you get some time to relax and recover. Thank you for all your testing and feedback. We’ll be here, and still in beta once you are back
@ pascha, you are an important man here and I will be happy if you continue to participate, no matter in what way.
Don’t you also like to play ambient stuff?
Would temporary your guitar as a slide guitar on your knees with a massive slide bar like lapsteel guitar be worth a new discovery for you? MG3 offers a lot of possibilities here too…
@Pascha, I wish you all the best for the future and please don’t give up!
Thanks for your wishes! I love Music too much. It breaks my heart to look at my guitar knowing I cannot play it (doctors say 7 to 15 days if I am lucky)
However, recently, I got the Ableton Live 12.2 upgrade which brings in Expressive Chords: a great included plugin that allows you to play one finger chords placed along a specific progression (prebuilt). Expressive Chords | Ableton. You can also build your progression but that’s advanced as I do not play piano (but I can play it via MG£HEX). I was trying to use it with the guitar via MG3 even if its natural trigger it’s a Launchpad or Ableton Push. Then my hand throwed me an error in the form of burning pain… and I had to stop. However I have a Launchpad so I can trigger those chords and compose music so at least I can avoid abandoning music in full for a while.
After many diagnostics and doctors, I have an initial CTS condition, made worse by my other conditions. Luckily surgery is at least one year away. I still have to rest until end of August to stabilize my body challenged by too many NSDS’s. Then I can start theraphy and if I do not over abuse my hands and arms I can skip surgery year after year. However Surgery is there and always be the option if everything goes wrong in the meantime.
So hoping that all will be fine in the end I’ll take a seasonal break from my stressful IT Job.
I have played a little two days ago being very careful and MG3 is as I remember. Great!
Wish me best vibrations, and send me MIDI CC 99 (healing )
