Arduinocaster

YouTube via Mike73Cook. via nonymous in the comments of this post.
"Arduinocaster is a an Arduino based MIDI instrument modelled on a guitar sometimes called a keytar. It uses switches and LEDs to control six "strings" which are held down in guitar like chords. Triggering the strings is through an opto reflective switch for a continuous repeating strum and four touch sensitive switches for a one off sequence. There are three banks of four picking / strumming / arpeggio styles and a three octave capo. Voice change information can also be sent.
The music is "Banjo Tricks" by Found from the free download Etiquette CD. Full code and construction details will follow within the month."

"A child's toy glockenspiel fitted with solenoids driven by MIDI through an Arduino board. Using midiO and GarageBand to produce some music by Philip Glass. As it doesn't move much while it is working this is a video pan around it and some close up shots of the construction. Full constructional details are posted on http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk"

T-Shirts: Size Poll

It looks like I have to order a minimum of 30 more T-Shirts to get the XXLs. Why I didn't order some to begin with, I don't know... I was XL myself, so you'd think I'd get one size up as well. So before I place an order, I'm curious, if you were to buy a MATRIXSYNTH T-Shirt, what size would you get?

Update: looks like I posted this one before. It was a victim of Hurricane Katrina. Thanks to nonymous in the comments for spotting the older post.

"Some more google sketch-up models. I haven't made a video about any of my new models (or any models for that matter) in a while so I thought I'd throw one together quickly.

All models (c) Ben Anderson 2009"

Note the Tronix keyboard in the beginning. Tronix actually exists, you can see the only other post by clicking on the label below. Anyone know if they actually made a keyboard?
