The next elements: Infrared Distance Sensor

Posted by on in Music, Tech

I’ve posted about the molecule synth ‘table of elements‘ before. It’s such a great idea with some great molecules / elements to come. But I thought I’d dwell on a few of them just to mention the ones I really am excited about.

I’m not quite sure what the infrared distance sensor will actually do, but I can tell you what I’d like it to do at some point in the future, or indeed when it first arrives.

I’d love to be able to use the infrared to receive an infrared signal from a Nebulophone, or even a Palm OS PDA. The output could be as an LFO or other controller.

I hope it’ll be the first or one of the first to be launched.

Table of elements

What an awesome idea. I really hope that we see all of these elements come to the molecule synth.

MIDI, Arduino and the Molecule Synth

I’ve been thinking about this now and trying to decide how I’d use the MIDI on the molecule synth. It doesn’t really work in the way I’d expected, but nevertheless it’s still quite an interesting feature to play with.

My plan will be to use either Lemur or TouchOSC to control the module over MIDI, but the first choice is what kind of synth to load into the MIDI module?

Mozzi would be an obvious choice, but to start with I think I’ll go with the stuff that’s in the manual.
