This is a cover of the song Miss You by Oliver Tree. I am using a Misa Triwave to control two instances of a synthesizer called Vital. They provide the kick sounds. Musically, this demo is super simple - I'm literally just holding down one note and tapping to the beat. But the purpose of the video is to demonstrate:
1. different sounds being played from different parts of the Triwave's touchpad
2. the touchpad switching an arpeggiator on and off

The Triwave is connected to a PC running Ableton Live. The magic happens in Ableton's MIDI configuration. An arpeggiator is attached to the first bass sound, and it will be on when the bottom half of the Triwave's touchpad is pressed. If the top half is pressed, the arp will be off.

If the touchpad is pressed on the left side, bass 1 will play. And if it's pressed on the right side, bass 2 will play.
