monome five twelve unboxing

YouTube via stretta — April 07, 2010 — "Personally, I think unboxing videos are fairly ridiculous. But, so then is the five twelve. Since there are only 10 of these things, and it wasn't a big deal to set up a camera, I decided to share this. Don't expect a music demo - this is just a first impression and plug in."

This reminds me, I was playing Smule's Magic Piano on my iPad last night and decided to see what "Duet" mode was. It brought up a globe of the world that rotated to another player visualized by streams of light for each note played. There was a name "Sofia" on the bottom right of the screen. I was able to play along to this person. I have no idea if "Sofia" heard and saw my name while playing as well.

According to the Smule website: "
Play With the World!

Travel around the Smule Globe to find other Piano users. Select "duet mode" and Magic Piano will create warp holes to connect you with other Pianists.

To stay connected to a single individual, just say so, and play back and forth to your heart's content. Or just listen into other player's duets on the globe."

Arduino MIDI Clock Master

YouTube via ugufru — April 06, 2010 — "Recorded on April 7th, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder for the video (sorry it's so fuzzy). Mastered in iMovie. Demonstrates the Miduino as a MIDI Clock Master, generating it's own MIDI Clock messages that are send to the Alesis SR-16 and Waldorf XT synthesizer (arpeggiators in multimode). The Waldorf adds a nice evolving electronic hi-hat and bass sounds. The LED on the Miduino flashes every 1/4 note, and this pin can be used as an external trigger for analog modular synthesizers."

MIDI Clock Synchronization Arduino

"Recorded on April 6th, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder for the video. Mastered in iMovie. Demonstrates using MIDI clock messages from an Alesis SR-16 to synchronize the pulse trigger to an LED on a Miduino. If you turn up the audio, you can hear the drum machine in the background. Sorry it's not louder!"
