Micron & microKorg + Zoom RT-223 - Delta
YouTube via mikamulperi
"Testing my own Micron setup. microKorg on top making some noise and down out of picture is Zoom RT-223 drum machine that I control with foot pedal. Original song Delta is composed by Rob Hubbard. I may not play it quite right. But this is just a demo."
via Jared:
"Here's a cool YouTube clip I stumbled on this evening. It's rather clever how mikamulperi uses a custom setup in the Micron with two sequences and alternates between them. Although he nearly gets carried away with knob tweakage on the Microkorg. ;) The drum machine is off camera, triggered with a foot switch."

Loscha:
"These are a series of USB interfacing modules that connect electronics in the real world to the virtual world of your computer. To me, they seem reasonably priced, and the support and documentation seems well organized.
Some examples are present for MAX/MSP, and a library of interfacing code for the majority of flavours of coding that people use (although ChucK isn't here, I'm sure if enough people notice these exist, it's a possibility!)."
The PhidgetCircularTouch pictured
"The PhidgetCircularTouch detects changes in the capacitance between the on-board electrodes and the object making contact. The side of the circuit board opposite the connector and components is the side intended for contact." You can find more info here

Well now that we started actually making this, it seems obvious that this device will make everything rather more complicated and less controllable, but if we are lucky it will play us some discomusic."

Eroktronix MIDITron and MIDITron Wireless
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FMBJEkaC8Lw/SAWRbympjYI/AAAAAAAASYY/xn7lVr-6feU/s400/miditron_numbered.png)
MidiTron is bi-directional. Sensor inputs are converted to MIDI output messages, and MIDI input messages are converted to terminal output voltages.
MidiTronTM Features
* Small (2.5" x 3" x 1.5"): can be embedded in your project
* Powered from a 9v battery
* Economical
* Menu-driven program provided for easy configuration of inputs and outputs (Mac OS9/Mac OSX/Windows XP)
* Stores configuration in flash memory: can run stand-alone, without computer
* MIDI input and output: no special drivers required
* Up to 20 digital inputs/digital outputs/analog (PWM) outputs
* Up to 10 analog (ADC) inputs
* Input devices: switches, pots, sensors (bend, pressure, photo, magnetic, touch, temperature, accelleration, etc.) and more
* Outputs: LEDs, motors, relays, solenoids and more
* High-resolution mode (10 bits) for analog inputs
* Use for music controllers, VJ controllers, MIDI instruments, dance triggers, interactive installations, driving LEDs, motors, solenoids, relays and other robotic devices, and more..."

MidiTron™ Wireless is uni-directional. Sensor inputs are converted and sent wirelessly to a receiver unit, which outputs MIDI messages. It is designed to be a small, flexible, robust, long-range solution for creating wireless sensor controllers for real-time use in performance, installations and other scenarios.
MidiTron™ Wireless Features
* Small transmitter (2 5/8” x 1 1/2” x 1 1/2”); encloses internal antenna and 9v battery
* Can be worn on body
* 1000 foot range under ideal conditions; several hundred foot range possible even with obstructions
* Uses 900 MHz frequency band for less interference than the increasingly crowded 2.4 GHz band
* Uses highly reliable RF chip set proven in live performance situations
* Eight selectable channels allow eight units to be used simultaneously or channel switching if interference is encountered
* Continuous re-transmit of sensor values virtually eliminates drop-out or lost data
* Very low latency transmit (maximum 7 ms with all sensors enabled)
* Very low latency USB and MIDI output (actual latency system dependent)
* Normal (7-bit) and high (10-bit) resolution analog modes available
* Easily configured with menu-driven programming patch
* No network configuration required as with Bluetooth or WiFi
* Standard MIDI and USB-MIDI input/output ports
* With USB, appears on computer as a standard MIDI device with no special drivers required
* Once configured, can be used as a standalone MIDI device without a computer
* Several interchangeable styles of connector boards allow flexibility in making sensor connections
* Three-pin style connector board allows direct interfacing of popular sensors available from other manufacturers"
