How to Make a Cheap Multitouch Pad - MTmini

"* MTmini Software (Touchlib) and Updates: http://ssandler.wordpress.com/MTmini
-What's a MTmini?-
---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Don't have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).


-How's it Work?-
---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).

When you place you fingers on the surface, shadows are created where your fingers are. The webcam sees these shadows and sends the image to the tracking software which tracks the shadows as they

"The studio in its current "before" state. Furniture urgently needed to improve access to...well, almost everything. Clockwise from bottom right: white Roland SH-101, SH-2, Roland MIDI controller, Yamaha Tenori-on, Future Retro Revolution 2, and a couple of preamps. Middle space occupied by an Elektron Monomachine, a Squarewave Parade Downgrade, and a Devi Ever Shoe Gazer."

Back in the day

"Film of an analog electronic home studio showing how I made my tunes before digital came along and even before I had midi"
Update: some background from Lorne in Canada:
"Larry's a friend of mine who asked me to chop up a 1984 video of him working in his old twosheds basement studio back in 1984. I did and he just put it up on You tube. The tube has a 10 minute limit on uploads so its there in three chunks.

He used a synare, a 606 and 303 into a rather uncommon 4 track cassette mixer system from Clarion (came in its own factory console!) and he layered his homemade electric mandolin into it. The clairitone had built in analog echo circuits and varispeed. Anyhow that's how it was back in the day, just before I stumbled upon his African Bypass cassette in the local indy shop and met him. He was listening to a lot of southern African and Nigerian musics back then that were news to me. Anyhow its hard to see this gear the way it was before techno, so here's how one person made a non-techno non-disco studio out of it. He walks through how he worked back then, chain smoking the whole way, mandolin is in the middle and the final mix style is in the last chunk.
