MIDI Sprout PlantWave Prototypes Are Here

Published on Oct 22, 2019 MIDI Sprout

"When using the new device, you'll notice it doesn't require a wired connection to your phone or computer, unlike MIDI Sprout. This makes using PlantWave so much easier and significantly reduces cable clutter.

Third, you'll notice it has a USB port (this prototype has micro USB, but the final version will have USB-C). The USB port can be used to charge the device's built-in battery and/or stream data to a computer or phone via a wired connection, if desired.

So, I know what you're thinking... Does this prototype work? Well, have a look for yourself!

So, where do we go from here? Well, we still have some tweaking to do. We may play with configuration / placement of the ports, LEDs and display. And, we may have some final adjustments to de-couple the power circuit from the sensor circuit to ensure no interference when PlantWave is connected via USB. We also have some firmware updates to make that will allow for changes in scale and key to be made on the device, itself, in addition to happening via the app.

So, we're doing this! It's happening, but we still need to meet our $80k goal to actually do it. You know, like, deliver these magic boxes to mailboxes around the world.

So, if you haven't supported yet, pre-order PlantWave today to ensure we reach our goal! And if you have supported, let everyone know! Tell your friends about this campaign and let's bring PlantWave to life, together!"

Sequencing a Univox Minikorg 700S [Demo #3] Using KVP + Beatstep Pro

G-Storm Electro on Reverb

Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2019

Third video on the Univox Minikorg.
This Minikorg has been modified to take an external pitch CV + gate signal.
It expects pitch in hz/v and lo-active gates.
While the Beatstep Pro can do it - it's a global setting.
Using my KVP module to convert the signals, it means I don't need to mess w/ the BSP globals whenever I hook up a Korg product.
