Smomid Robotic Instrument/Computer Stand

Published on Jul 11, 2014 nicnut210

"To make my performances easier I decided to build a light weight instrument stand. In this first version I added a robotic arm with lights and beepers. This stand comes apart and easily fits in the backseat of my car, is much lighter in weight than a normal keyboard stand, and has more surface area. There are also four high torque servos for the robotic arm. I can place my computer and interface on the lower level and my Pyramid Interface on the upper level.

In future versions I will have a midi input so the lights will be synched with what my instruments are doing, and will also have servos so that the stand itself can fold up into a smaller unit without me manually folding it up. As it is right now, other than transporting this additional item, this stand has made performing with my Smomid so much easier.

The stand has an Arduino Mega in it as well as a Servocenter 4.1 Microcontroller from YEI Technology.

"Been working on the 1.0 release of the firmware that will allow normal humans to be able to program this beast of a synth. Getting stable sample playback streaming off the SD card was holding me back, but I think I’ve cracked it!

You can now playback samples of any length from the SD card and loop them! Expect some granular glitch machines next."

"1976 made in GDR
Playing all the presets in a moderate tempo dry without FX.
The noisy beginning and end are due to the stormy wheather :-) the noise does not come from the machine!"

Video description:
"The soundtrack was composed in August 1951 and was Bernard Herrmann's first soundtrack after he moved to Hollywood. Herrmann chose unusual instrumentation for the film: violins, cellos, and basses (all three electric), two theremin electronic instruments (played by Dr. Samuel Hoffman and Paul Shure), two Hammond organs, a large studio electric organ, three vibraphones, two glockenspiels, marimba, tam-tam, 2 bass drums, 3 sets of timpani, two pianos, celesta, two harps, 1 horn, three trumpets, three trombones, and four tubas. Unusual overdubbing and tape-reversal techniques were used, as well. 20th Century Fox later reused the Herrmann title theme in the original pilot episode for Irwin Allen's 1965 TV series Lost in Space. Danny Elfman noted The Day the Earth Stood Still's score inspired his interest in film composing, and made him a fan of Herrmann.

The Day the Earth Stood Still is a 1951 American science fiction film that tells the story of a humanoid alien visitor who comes to visit the Earth with a warning, accompanied by his powerful robot, "Gort". Robert Wise directed this film, and its leading actors and actresses were Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Sam Jaffe, and Hugh Marlowe. "Gort" is also a primary character in this motion picture, but he is portrayed as a completely mechanical man. The writer of The Day the Earth Stood Still, Edmund H. North, based his screenplay on Harry Bates's short story "Farewell to the Master" (1940).

Julian Blaustein produced this film for 20th Century Fox, and its cinematography was executed by Leo Tover. Nearly all of the action takes place in Washington, D.C., where the alien spacecraft lands, and then remains without moving for almost the entire motion picture."
