A walkthrough and demo of the Kijimi Mk2 made by Black Corporation. Kijimi is an 8-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer with polyphonic aftertouch and MPE capability.
In this video we’ll take a look at everything that’s inside Kijimi and how it all works, and I’ll share some of my favorite approaches to using Kijimi as an interactive instrument for live performance and as an experimental sound design tool. And of course, I’ll also share lots of sounds and patches along the way.
