New version with fixed serialosc support, and a link to the older monomeserial/arduinomeserial version. I also put some instructions for setting up osc in Reaktor.
Our friend took some short video clips of us playing at the Monomeet at the downtown Independent this week. We got a chance to use the finished Chronomes as well as our new version of Nomestate. Was a great event, and cool to see so many other Monomers play a set. Thanks to everyone who [...]
We cleaned up the build instructions for the chronome, and put the steps up to compile and install the custom version of serialosc
A good friend of ours, Jim Murphy, is currently in New Zealand working on his PhD in musical robotics. He passed along this link to a great explanation of the use of bypass or decoupling caps. Jim and I had a lengthy discussion recently about the use of capacitors in the Chronome circuits to filter out high frequency switching noise. Its [...]
Fixed a small bug with the CC messages. You can Download the new version here.
I just updated our basic OSC to MIDI Reaktor app to work with the new /grid Monome protocols, and their serialOSC app. Lots of copy pasting and cabling, so I’ve been putting it off; however, with the Chronome group buy happening, I am going to modify it to support pressure and color. We’ll put links [...]
Radio NZ invited me to come and talk with them about algorithmic processes in composition, and how contemporary work is looking into machine musicianship and autonomous agents. Had chance to share some music from Xenakis, Autechre, and our friend’s project “Difficult Media” (Jim Murphy, and Carl Burgin) Listen here
Peter Kirn has written a round up of the current offerings of RGB grid controllers, including a number of open-source DIY projects. Nice mention of the Chronome, as well the Octinct and several others. Looking forward to the first group buy of Chronome boards in September.
