Electronic Expression 电路表达

The “Electronic Expression” way of electronic musical instrument interface design, is not to consider sound parameters, but to think from the angle of circuit interference.

It may result in a complex change on a combination of sound parameters, and very expressive reactions can be found. This method has a lot to do with circuit instability, touch and feedback. by touching selected nodes from circuit, new connections are made, circuits behaviors are also affected.

Synth pioneer Peter B created the sandrode concept - androgynous nodes that are neither input nor output, but perform both functions at different times. They are actually selected raw nodes from circuits, each time they are touched / patched, it effectively create a new circuit, and most of the time it would affect many aspects of sound. At the same time as sandrodes are unprotected, raw nodes, it's highly possible to destroy components by combining units. I look forward that more self-contained units using this method would be available to the public.

所谓“电路表达”，就是在设计演奏界面的时候，不考虑声音参数，而是以影响电路的角度来思考。

演奏手法直接影响电路，获得的结果可能同时包含音色、音高与音量的复杂变化，可以通过此法找到极富表现力的反应。电路表达通常和电路的不稳定性，触控还有回授有很大关系。通过触摸电路中的一些节点，新的电路会形成，电路的反应也会受到影响。

合成器大师 Peter B 曾经创造了 "sandrode" 这个概念。它指的是又能作为输出，也能作为输入的电路端点。从根本上来说，它们其实就是一些未经保护和匹配的电路节点。通过对它们的操作，我们一定程度上是在组装新的电路，这通常也能导致在声音上很多属性的同时变化。与此同时，未保护的电路节点在几台机器相互连接的同时很可能损坏元件，所以一般来讲这种玩法都会被限制在同一台乐器上。我期待有更多使用这种玩法的乐器出现。
