Such a helpful and comprehensive beginner's tutorial! Thank you, Adam.

Finally breaking out my gloves I had delivered forever ago 😂 this was a very informative tutorial! I had hoped that this would work with Logic somehow, but I don't think it is nearly as advanced as Ableton Live appears to be for this sort of thing. Guess I'll be learning new music software as well lol

I was interested to see that the Glover software also supports devices such as the Leap Motion and Myo Armband. Is it possible to purchase it separately?

I hope that soon they will be available on market :)))

SON OF A... HOLY... GEEZUS... This is incredible!!! I'm just a regular blue collar working guy who happens to have a remarkable talent of creating music... Beats, songs, melodies! There is only one catch. The music that I create is all in my head. It sounds crazy I know, an example of this would be that I can beat box any (and I mean any) thing that I hear on the radio. Country, hip hop, rock, pop, it doesn't matter. If its a song I can replicate it with my mouth. There are a few "loop or sampler" apps that I have fooled around with that I let me sample and loop my voice on separate tracks. I've used those apps to create some really simple but cool songs with my voice. I taught myself how to play the drums when I was 12 with an old Ludwig set that my uncle let me use. Then when I was about 16 my uncle took the set back to give to his son. Because my family was poor and my parents were assholes I never got the support or encouragement to do anything with music (or anything for that matter). If I wanted to play an instrument it had to be at a friends house. When I was in my early 20s I taught myself how to DJ using my friends equipment. I often went to the club with him and he would let me give him breaks between sets. During his sets I would hit the dance floor. Thats when I learned that by moving certain body parts to the rhythm and others to the melody made dancing a hell of a lot easier and a lot more fun and I was good at it... Really good! I eventually began using body parts to mimic the instruments in songs. That eventually led me to wondering if something like these gloves even existed. That was years ago. Like I said, I'm just a regular blue collar guy in my early 40s. Although I can set down at a piano or keyboard and pretty much play anything by ear (I can't read a lick of music), pick up a pair of drum sticks and play a set like Jason Bonham, and use 2 turntables and a microphone to keep a nightclub full of dancers locked on the dance floor all night long... I never had the necessary funds needed to advance myself in the music industry. You need equipment to basically do anything in the music industry and I was never able to obtain it. I bought myself a decent set of turntable controllers once, but to play at clubs you gotta have more than 2 controllers. You also have to have the time to put together your sets and practice. I just didn't have the time or the money to advance and that has been holding me back ever since. These gloves... I could do so any amazing things with these gloves. I know that if I was to put a pair of these bad boys on incredible things would happen! With my ability to play just about anything by ear, my talent for playing the drums and my love for dancing... These gloves and me are a match made in heaven. The only music type software that I have really fooled around with is Fruity Loops. I am sure that these gloves are compatible with as the guy says that just about any type of music software that has anything to do with MIDI would work. I need these! I have many-a-time imagined me wearing music type gloves. I don't care how much these things cost. I am a hard worker and saving money has always been easy for me to do. In the past 2 years I have gotten myself into a position where I don't have to break my back to break the bank. Here's what I am gonna do... I am gonna save up and buy these and the minute they land on my front porch I am taking a 2 week vacation. During those 2 weeks I am going to learn all there is to know about these gloves. When I return from my holiday...

I am watching and learning... but first thing... Wielki Elektronik T shirt. Travels of Mr Kleks was my favorite movie. And OST with songs... it was Something. Those days for kids raised in communist country. Thanks for wearing that T shirt. 😊 and I am coming back watching tutorial. Glove is in the house already.

Can you use this to start to learn to create music or do you need to have a background in music previously?

[connorsol]

ONE question. How (and how well) can I use the MI.Mu gloves / Glover to control Kontakt 6 Virtual Instruments?

[miriammone]

is it possible to combine gestures from both gloves in order to get more different mapping possibilities?

[natevirtual]

Can glover be used as a VST with Cubase?
