I've had my Wingie2 for about a year. It's amazing what's packed into it. Haven't tamed the Blippoo Box firmware yet, but this looks much more manageable. Nice clear video. Thanks very much. As a follower (and purchaser) on Bandcamp, it's nice to see the beard behind the music!
Dave, thanks for the intro and tutorial. Your presentation style brings us right into your studio for a one-on-one conversation. I'm already looking forward to the next installment.
This is so radical!! I'm a big scala / Kraig grady / Dudon fan. Forgive me if you've gone over this already, but is there a way to port .scl / scala files into the wingie2? Just now finding out about this thing , lots to learn (: Gave your chan a sub 👍
The documentation is here (the README.md file, which you can read on this page): github.com/DaveSeidel/Wingie2. It requires some experience with C++, and two different build steps: one using Faust to compile the DSP code to C++, and then using the Arduino IDE to compile the C++ code and produce a binary. You then use the Arduino tool to upload the binary to the Wingie2 via USB-C. If you've done development work before, it's not too difficult, but it may be a bit much if you've never built software before. If you decide to try it, I can point you at the the specific area of code you would need to modify to add your scales.
Thanks so much for your work here Dave. I have been trying to work out how to use Wilsonic with these tunings and I can't figure out how to set up the Bihexany and Augmented12 tunings. Do you have Scala files for these or have some advice how to use Sevish Scale Workshop to make them? (Obviously would love to have some things sing along with the new firmware.)
Here is a link to the code that defines all the tunings. Each one is a list of ratios or decimal numbers (when rational number are not appropriate: github.com/DaveSeidel/Wingie2/blob/main/Wingie2/Wingie2.ino#L175 You should be able to use these values in Scala or other software. Let me know if you can't get to the link or have any difficulty reading the scales in this format.
Thank you. Yes, that's right. They are made by Crank Sturgeon, and they're attached to 1/4" phono jacks, which is very handy. I am considering making another video where I would discuss this and some other techniques that I've been discovering for playing the Wingie.
I'm using monofilament, and tying the frets based on instructions I found online that are apparently appropriate for both lutes and violas da gamba. I was thinking of the latter when I decided to try this. It works well.

Thank you for the detailed video! This is very helpful. I've never seriously tried the tuning feature but now I see how interesting it is!

Thanks! The Wingie2 has no facility for reading files, so the only way to change or add scales is to modify the firmware.
@@DaveSeidel Thanks for the info. Is there any tutorials on modifying the fw anywhere? Is it hard to do?

This is the more proper link to the official source code: github.com/mengqimusic/Wingie2

@@DaveSeidel this document is how I found your name and then this video actually. Very helpful. Thanks again!
Great, video. Is your touchOSC template compatible with Mk1?
Thanks. I don't know if Mk1 even had MIDI support. The template is specific to Mk2 firmware v3.1
Why
Why not?
Congrats to you and Meng Qi on the release! Fantastic walkthru and performance. Super inspiring!
wow, beautiful work sir! thankyou!
Thanks Dave.
This was a very interesting demonstration.
Best wishes for your continued success.
This is a great presentation and makes me crave purchasing a Wingie2 even more
Nicely done, Dave!
Thanks for the fascinating work. What are the two brass plates you are striking? Contact mics?
Thank you. Yes, that's right. They are made by Crank Sturgeon, and they're attached to 1/4" phono jacks, which is very handy. I am considering making another video where I would discuss this and some other techniques that I've been discovering for playing the Wingie.
how do you tie frets on the Dvina? Are you using professional lute frets or some other material? Thanks!
I'm using monofilament, and tying the frets based on instructions I found online that are apparently appropriate for both lutes and violas da gamba. I was thinking of the latter when I decided to try this. It works well.
