I made a 30 minute mix for Womp! – A night I’m playing on tomorrow night in Eastbourne. Mix is a bit darker than what I’ll probably end up playing but well worth a listen if you like your electronic music with a bit of bass and a bit of fun!
I made a quick DJ mix with my girlfriend in preparation for our little New years eve gig and thought I should share it with the world. If you’re into house music you should have a listen!
Version 0.9 of FingerPlay MIDI adds a few more options for each MIDI controller in the layout XML file. You can now set whether it should send note presses or controller changes and which channel and controller number it sends it on. I’ve added some comments to the default XML file which I hope is enough to get everyone started.
There’s also basic support for the Android hardware sensors courtesy of Matias Wilkman, but because they’re still very much work-in-progress they’re not enabled by default. If you want to try them out just uncomment the last screen in the default XML file.
Please let me know if there are any problems with this new version, I’m flat20 on Twitter.
Arduino + Fingerplay MIDI from Guus Baggermans on Vimeo.
Did some googling and came across this video by Guus Baggermans. He is using FingerPlay as input for a robot on his desktop. I’m not exactly sure of the details but I think the robot is Arduino based and he must have modified the FingerPlay source code because he’s using the gyroscope for input.
If you’ve made anything cool with FingerPlay MIDI then please let me know – I love hearing about people using it.
I spent last night playing around with audio programming for Android and I now have the basics of a FingerPlay scratch app. There’s no interface yet and it’s not “real” scratching, but I’ll see what I can do about that when I’m back from my holiday. And I need a better loop to play with as well..
Can’t get embed video to work right now.. I’ll update later.
