Watching a video on the new third-party keyboard support for #KompleteKontrol. I can already say this is not going to be great for most fully #blind #musicians mostly because actually browsing through your entire KK library is not supported. You can browse through presets once an instrument is loaded, you can usually modify plugin parameters although that isn't always the case for some Kontakt instruments apparently, you CAN do a search and move through the seaerch resuls though, so provided you can do accessibly do a search that hacks around that issue. The main thing I'm not sure about is, amusingly, if you can toggle #accessibility support. I'm leaning towards probably not, so you'd need Bobby from down the block to hook up their KK keyboard and turn it on for you but after that I do think it may actually talk if you use a 3rd-party controller :)

I used to keep up with all the major accessible music technology for blind musicians, but now it feels harder to stay updated. The #MusicTech industry still has a long way to go, but there's been a great progress—so much more is accessible now compared to just 10 years ago! #Reaper, #Logic, #ProTools, #Samplitude, #Sibelius, #Musescore, #KompleteKontrol, #Ableton Live, #Juce, #Izotope, #Arturia, #Softtube, #Audient, #Focusrite, #Zoom, #SurgeSynth, #UVI, Sao Mai Braille... What else am I missing?

In my second video for Fracture Sounds, they wanted me to show off a few of my favourite Blueprint libraries and demonstrate how I use a DAW, in this case Logic Pro.
you'll hear some of my screen-reader and perhaps gain a small understanding of what it's like to deal with speech on a daily basis.
I absolutely love these on-the-fly-type videos, and being challenged to put the beginnings of a track down in a short time is just great fun.

so I've been trying to use ableton with my #KompleteKontrol #a61, but it doesn't seem to be working when I load KK and after the scan. Strange stuff.
