Video Controlled by Midi

Short video clips controlled using midi from a MPC 500 which provides the drum samples; all other audio is from video clips. A single video clip is triggered when its defined midi note is received.

VPT - Video Projection Tool by HC Giljes

Test of video software used for projecting on different planes. The software is used to distort individual video clips to the desired plane to be projected on.

Highly Liquid: MD24 Midi Decoder

Interface similar to Arduino, but controlled using MIDI notes, programs, etc. The MD24 has 24-5V digital out pins that are triggered by MIDI messages, ie: a note. When a midi note is played the corresponding digital out pin is activated for that note's length. This interface doesn't require a computer to translate MIDI messages, which makes it simpler to control motor, solenoids, etc, than Arduino and a MAX/MSP patch.

Clyde Drumbot Test 2

Quick test using multiple lever systems activated by pull type solenoids. Midi data is recorded in Garageband and sent via a MAX/MSP patch (by Ali Momeni) to Arduino which triggers each of the solenoids. The basswood levers hit a small bass drum, a tom, and a tin can case.

Arduino + MIDI - Ali Momeni

An easy way to control Arduino's digital outs with MIDI by using a MAX/MSP patch. When a MIDI note is triggered it activates the corresponding Arduino digital out. The intent is to use MIDI and Arduino to control various motors, leds, etc. MIDI allows for the recording of sequences (with audio software and/or hardware) which can be composed and replayed as desired.

Photosounder

'Photosounder is a one-of-a-kind image-sound editing program. It is unique in that it opens images and sounds indiscriminately, treats and processes them as images, and synthesizes them as sounds.' ~Photosounder.com
