Music Technology Stuff (Nerds)

    Been a while since I started a thread here, so since my studio computers are dead and I'm waiting around for inspiration. I saw this this afternoon and it reminded me of some stuff on in the Trinity Science Gallery at the moment...
    Cool Stuff : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l9e9zDd314&feature=player_embedded

    The dude in the video is using a computer "program" called Marsyas to write the code to do the pitch shifting, hence my stumbling across it. Marsyas users please get in touch!!!

    OK Just one more...

    In other news, there's also a guy showing his work in the Science Gallery who's built an analog sequencer which uses Lego blocks with built in resistors to control it, it would be cool to rob the idea for a digital/midi version. Others are doing experiments to measure emotional reaction to music. Very cool in a nerdy kind of way. Enjoy.

    surely it'd be easier to fix the studio computer than learn a programming language?

    max/msp might also interest you or arduino, midibox.org and puredata.org, monome.

    sadly i have a favourites folder titled GEEK

    Easier said than done. Replaced the logic board, still no joy...

    I have a good suss on PD and using arduino boards with it. Also got a bit of a suss on C++ so Marsyas shouldn't be too much of a change from that.

    they're all c based so once you can do one you can do the lot, the main problem is remembering each ones quirks.

    as for the studio pc, so you've got a new motherboard, put in the old processor and ram?

    do you have any other computers to test the ram in,

    my own is in need of replacement but thats cause the capacitors are all swollen and i've had to underclock it to get it stable, i dont fancy replacing the caps and i do want the new shiny multicore 64bit with go faster stripes and hopefully hackintoshable machine i'm
    planning as a replacement.

    Just looking at the arduino boards, what kind of applications would they be used for?

    mostly simple synths and midi controllers, but its fairly open, so its up to you really

    Mostly control data input to another program, light sensors, pots, motion sensors etc. Which you can use to control midi. Synth wise they aren't up to much, you can make them output a square wave tone that's about it.

    They are also used to control motors and other stuff like that for robotics projects etc.
