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.
I should have done a video showing off my Android application FingerPlay MIDI myself, but I simply haven’t had the time for it yet. Luckily Mooreshire did it instead, which leaves me with more time to fix bugs. So a big thanks to him for posting this quick demo!
I seem to fall in love with anything 8-bit retro these days which probably stems from growing up in that era, but I guess one more post about it can’t hurt. Two kids from New York made an album using guitars, drums and a NES. The music isn’t bad in itself but I really like the 8-bit styled videos for each track.
