Sunday Synth Jam: This synth jam combines a live mashup with a guitar-driven vocal synthesis lead.
Rishabh Rajan combines samples from Porter Robinson’s Worlds album, performed on the Ableton Push, with an unusual lead guitar solo, performed with Korg’s Miku Stomp effects pedal.
Miku Stomp is a vocaloid effect unit for guitar that lets virtual vocalist Hatsune Miku ‘sing’, based on your guitar playing.
How was he getting the push to play like that ?

It looks like he’s got each button programmed to do two things – trigger the clip and also to trigger a lighting effect. I don’t think that is anything more than eye candy – but I give him kudos for excellent blinkenlights!
This should have be the video they debuted on Late Night with whoever the heck host’s it now… When they showed the halo gram singing or whatever. lol
Putting the t in ‘tasteful’ and catapulting the Miku Stomp to the top of my GAS list.
Loved it! Great to hear someone actually playing electronic music live, even if it is mostly sample based. And I was already wanting that guitar pedal. Now I’ve got to have it.
If you want to hear the original song this is based on (and you definitely should!) you can listen to it here: Sad Machine by Porter Robinson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAIDqt2aUek
