Just got this today. Looking forward to listening to it a lot.
More Molecule
I posted the other day about an idea I’d had for a patch sheet for the molecule synth. Well I wasn’t entirely happy with the idea and decided to change it to make it more usable. I hope to have a version all sorted by the end of the week all things being equal.
The new version makes it a lot easier to use and work with and I plan to post it up to the Molecule synth forums too.
Something for the molecule
I’ve started making this. It’s a sort of patch sheet for the molecule synth. A way of recording ideas in advance of trying them, or committing stuff that works to paper so you can make it work again. Once it’s finished I’ll post a PDF of it for anyone who wants to use it.
Mixtape Alpha videos
I like this little tape type toy, but it isn’t very easy to control.
Experimenting with TWINE
I backed TWINE on kickstarter. I thought it was a great idea. I still do. What I struggle with a bit though is what to use it for. So, after a long period of not using it, I’ve upgraded it to the latest firmware. Now it can tweet and respond to vibration etc.
However, this doesn’t really help, I still don’t know quite what I’m going to use it for. It’s very interesting to get it to tweet the temperature, but so what? I’m sure that eventually I’ll work out a way of making this do something worthwhile. When I do, I’ll let you know.
A little visual journey from my soft circuit adventure at the Music Hack Ship
Having never done this before it was a real experience. Very different and I certainly learnt something new.
Setting up the MIDI Molecule
So I’ve connected the UNO R3 into the MIDI element. I’ve downloaded the code, but as I’ve gone to verify it I’ve got problems. This might take a bit longer to sort out than I imagined!
Laurie Spiegel
I couldn’t resist getting a Laurie Spiegel t-shirt after discovering her music and work recently. So here they are, both together.
By the way, Lauris Spiegel’s album “The Expanding Universe” is excellent and well worth a listen.
Table of elements
What an awesome idea. I really hope that we see all of these elements come to the molecule synth.
The Thingamagoop and the molecule …
I posted this at Palm Sounds earlier, but here it is again anyway!
MIDI, Arduino and the Molecule Synth
Arduino control
MIDI
I’ve been thinking about this now and trying to decide how I’d use the MIDI on the molecule synth. It doesn’t really work in the way I’d expected, but nevertheless it’s still quite an interesting feature to play with.
My plan will be to use either Lemur or TouchOSC to control the module over MIDI, but the first choice is what kind of synth to load into the MIDI module?
Mozzi would be an obvious choice, but to start with I think I’ll go with the stuff that’s in the manual.
Molecule synth: 2 Synths, one with LFO control and one with light sensor
Getting a bit closer toward the potential of the molecule synth.
Molecule Synth: Fun with the LFO and some pressure
The LFO really adds a lot to the synth especially in terms of the visual impact of the device.
