The H3X3N Collaborative (IX project)

For the past couple of weeks I've been helping out with a collaborative project being developed for the Interactivos festival in Madrid, Spain. My specific tasks were to interface a wii remote w/ a blue-tooth arduino board as well as other computers using Open Sound Control, and write an audio synthesis program using Max/MSP. You can check out what the project is all about as well as the development process at our blog. [h3x3n.wordpress.com] Also, here is a Flickr album from the lab in Madrid.

Casio SK-1 sync input:

This sk-1 modification is based off a 4016 bilateral switch IC. The 5v analog pulse from the tr-606 drum machine is triggering the IC which is in turn switching the 'one key play' function on the Casio. This allows for prerecorded melodies to be synced with the tr-606. by SWIFT



this vid also features my speak & spell w/ trigger input.
