Media Technology MSc. is hosting an exposition called Transition. There will be seven different installations, each with its own theme. Together with Guido Huijser and Rick Henneveld we’ve composed a soundwalk on the theme of Separation. The soundwalk is specifically made for the Raamsteeg 2 building in Leiden. The title of our work is also Separation. Opening [...]
Device I built together with Guido Huijser for the course Sound, Space & Interaction at Media Technology. The device uses an Arduino Duemilanove, Parallax 28440 RFID reader/writer, Parallax RFID tags, Korg Nano Kontrol and a Macbook running Max 6. The idea is based on the old kijkdoos; which is a sort of shoebox diorama. The [...]
Little application made with Max 6. It’s a handy tool for electronic musicians. You can use it to monitor and generate OSC and MIDI messages, monitor audio devices, generate test tone/noise, (de-)interleave audio files and calculate delay times. Download .mxf here: EMStuff.mxf (you need max runtime to use it)
My first attempt using openFrameworks. Bouncing balls send x and y coordinates via OSC to Max 6. Values are mapped to panning and frequency of sine wave oscillators. source (Xcode and Max files): OSCBalls.zip
Granular synthesis with sinusoidal grains + a simple GUI. Its a Synthdef using sinGrainB (a ugen from the SC3-plugins package) by Josh. You can set boundaries for random values for grain- amplitudes, durations, panning and frequencies. Frequency can be split, so only two frequencies are played instead of random frequencies in between the two values. [...]
Sample cutter made in Max 6. Standalone and MaxForLive version. Drop in an audio file and cut it up into 8 small loops. Play the loops in sequence (up, down, up/down), random or with MIDI notes (loops are mapped to MIDI note 60,62,64,65,67,69,71,72). Panning can be set or randomised between boundaries and a lag time [...]
Made a very simple sample looper in Max 6. It’s basically just a polyphonic groove~. You can trigger the sample with a MIDI keyboard. Set loop points with your mouse by dragging a region in the waveform view, or use the dials (which you can map to a MIDI controller in Ableton Live – M4L [...]
Just bought an Alesis PercPad and made a little Max app to trigger audio samples via MIDI. It has 4 channels, representing the drum pads from the PercPad, where you can drop in a folder containing audio files. At every channel there is a dial to change the playback rate and panning. Every channels has [...]
Simple MIDI note generator application made in Max 6. Generates MIDI notes based on different musical scales (major, minor, dorian phrygian, lydian, mixolydian and locrian). The user has the ability to choose between different ways to play the generated note patterns (up, down, up/down, random and sequence). Notes can be turned off or on. A [...]
Tired of using a lot of different buttons to type messages? Your boss hates it when you send a tweet at work? Then here is the answer you’ve been waiting for! The Twitter Morse Stapler Most functionality under just 1 button! Disguised as a typical office supply. Your boss will think you’ve had too much [...]
