The language of controllerism

Hi everyone :slight_smile:
I’m Valentin and i’ve been playing the drum for now 8 year.
A few month ago I was with my cousin who is a professional DJ and he learned me things and then I wanted to do more djiing and of course I do controllerism. :roll_eyes:

I’m french and english is my second language and a very famous drummer Benny Greb creat a DVD about the language of drumming and I think that controllerism is a new language and it’s a little bit the same as the language of drumming.
So here a picture of the letters of the language of controllerism :slight_smile: :

Let me explain it : so in the language of controllerism it’s only binary. Each - mean the tempo so it’s 1 2 3 4
and the . is when you press the button so for A you will press on 1 and B you will press on 2 :slight_smile: (I like to make a video to show all the letters but I don’t know how to film my screen and take sound, can you suggest me a software for this please ? :slight_smile: )

Don’t hesitate to ask any question and I hope that this will help you in your mix :slight_smile:
(And sorry for my english :expressionless: )

Interesting.. I might need to see that video. is the point to be able to convey a message to someone using a controller?

I am obsessed with music notation, and am very in to this idea. Cool!

Controllerists could use the drum notation for using controllers, with no problem :slight_smile:

What of knobs and faders? Movement with the MIDI Fighter 3D?
