Tangible Sequencer Update with GUI & new site
I was very excited when I first saw Jeffrey Traer Bernstein's tangible sequencer. Jeffrey has put up a website at tangiblesequencer.com where you can read a little bit more about how the project works, and tantalizingly, see the GUI for loading up the cubes with samples.
Here's a quote from the site
Inside each box there's a Freescale HCS08 low-power microcontroller; a low-power 2.4 GHz zigbee radio; a CR2032 coin cell; some infra-red communications electronics; and a big white LED. The white hub is the same as the boxes with some additional USB hardware.
The software that runs on the computer uses OpenGL, GLUT, and STK for the audio. Earlier software protoypes were made in Processing.
The boxes are made of laser-cut colored acrylic, sanded to be matte and then assembled by hand.
Now we just need a price & availability! It's a really simple, elegant and appealing way to mess around with music, and I'm very keen to see what happens next with these! The potential beyond simple knob twiddling audio-nerdology is obvious to me.
Visit TangibleSequencer.com to stay up to date on the tangible sequencer.
