Moog mars musings part ii

"Back in January 2004, when NASA’s Rover Lander touched down on Mars, Todd Barton began creating and posting a one minute daily music composition based on that day’s image from NASA’s website. Using his new Signature Moog Voyager as the exclusive sound generator, a looper and an effects pedal he created 110 Moog Mars Musings tracks.

Soon after the first few posts Edmund Eagan responded with the idea of tying each score to a current Mars image. Near the end of February Edmund started to create and synchronize his video manipulations with the music and posted those on his site.

The mars musings project ran online every day from January 25 to May 14th, 2004.

Here are the second batch of 20 of the Moog Mars Musings project. More to follow over the next few months."

utility for receiving MIDI and sending OSC (currently Mac OS X only)
dimensions including enclosure (W/D/H): 260 mm / 165 mm / ~45mm - 52mm
backpack compatible

"Hackability"

The KNOBBEE 32 is built with having tinkers and hackers in mind. You can modify our Open Source firmware we wrote for the controller (Atmel ATmega 32u4 / Arduino) or even put your own.

You can configure the KNOBBEE 32 via MIDI system exclusive messages. This includes aspects such as the resolution, MIDI mapping, behaviour of the switches / LEDs and calibration settings. We have written an editor in Max/MSP which provides easy access to those settings.

You can also buy the KNOBBEE 32 with our enclosure or order our enclosure design files and built your own enclosure. (It is not recommended to use the KNOBBEE 32 without an enclosure.)

Enclosure

We have currently two types of enclosures. One uses a combination of acrylic and wood (seen above).

The other uses only acrylic

If you buy the KNOBBEE 32 without an enclosure you'll get the fully populated PCB, all knobs (not shown) and the top plate so it is easy to integrate it into other enclosures."
