"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."

Trails: Moog + Piano

"track from my score for a BBC series, made with a MiniMoog Voyager, piano and a bit of sound design.
Video shows me tweaking filter cutoff and Volume Envelope (ADSR) on the Moog in real time - much more fun than drawing envelopes with a mouse.x"
