What do you use the SA Hot Hand for?

Here is one Will did a while back:

 

Behndy had a demo video when he was recording and he used it to basically make his bass sound kind of like a bass/cello using a bow:

 

I use it on synth clav and keyboard bass when I'm doing quick, staccato notes. It sounds like an envelope filter that can't decide whether it's up sweep or down sweep. The random-sounding sweeps are really cool; neither an envelope filter nor a wah can make sounds quite like it.

 

I've used it with my H9 pitch shifting. Having no shift in playing position, then jumping an octave when I lift my hand.

I've also used the same with the speed of a phaser. Playing is a super slow phase, then hand up is super fast and wiggly.

Of course the dubstep stuff is fun too and the most usable application I've found.

 

I would love to work with Sylvia Massy. She's a great engineer.

 

She did a Q&A on gearslutz earlier this year, pretty cool of her

lots of good info in there

 

Whoa! That was Behindy? Cool as all getout!

 

Yep, I followed the whole thing while it was active. She seems really fun/funny as well.

 

I use it for the dubstep wobbles with my Manta. I also have it hooked up to my Line6 M5 and I've tried to do some things with ParticleVerb and OctoVerb---full dry in playing position, lift hand to get a little crazy. But I never quite got that completely tweaked.

 

i'd like to see a hot hand used with a keyboard.

 

If I had video capabilities, I'd do a demo. It's fantastic with Stevie Wonder-like clav lines.

 

I use it for wobble also but I dont have the band personnel to make it useful live....though I have generated interest in covering "Madness" with it, so maybe there's hope...

 

I often use the Hot Hand for ambient things. It's great for volume swells as in that video of behndy, but also had lots of fun using it to control delay feedback and/or speed: it allows you to essentially "catch" a note and have it repeat... really fun, expressive and intuitive. I often find myself using one in this capacity over filter effects these days.

 

great video! I will post this on our Facebook page

 

I'm trying to reach 10 posts so I can post a link for you guys...

 

just 1 more… and here we go
