Molecule Synth from Molecule Synth on Vimeo.
It seems to be a bit of a promo video, but I’ve no idea if anything new is happening with Molecule Synth.

At times wonderful, and at times totally frustrating too. That’s technology, my experience of it anyway. I do a lot of stuff with technology and I suspect I will continue to do that.
Finally starting to do something with my TouchBoard

I backed the TouchBoard on kickstarter, but ever since I got it I haven’t either had the time to do anything proper with it, and haven’t had any ideas of projects to start with it either. But the other day I started having a few ideas of things I wanted to try out. So I got the box out and started to investigate what was in there as I hadn’t looked in ages.
It’s a nice kit, and everything works or at least seems to work just fine even though I haven’t touched it in ages. I’ll hopefully get to use it for a couple of projects soon enough.
That’s a nice little speaker
This came with my TouchBoard invention kit and I only just discovered it. It’s a great little speaker for a smartphone or something similar. The sound is good, and best of all, there’s a little blue LED!
I doubt I’ll keep it, but it is a very nice bit of hardware.
So I saw an Apple Watch …
And after all that it just wasn’t as amazing as I thought it would be. It was also thicker than I thought it might be. I’m just not sure that it is for me right now. I also think that the price for a reasonable model is too high right now. It might come down, it might not, and I’m not sure that Apple will want to replicate the same update cycle as their other hardware. People just don’t replace and update their watches with the same frequency. Or maybe Apple wants to change that too.
Anyway, for now I’m going to see how things pan out with my Pebble Time.
Things to do with a bC16 …
The first picture is the bC16 being played using a Handera 330 running Theremini. The second picture is using BeatPad.
It might take a while for the Apple Watch to get to the right thickness
Whilst I think that kind of thickness is ok on a phone I’m not sure that it’ll work for me on a smart watch. So I’ll wait until we get to the Apple Watch Air or whatever it gets called.
At last, my iPhone 6 Lego case has arrived
Since I first got my iPhone 6 I needed a case. The device itself is just too slippery to be used without one. So I got an Apple case and it was fine for a while, but in the last few months it’s just got too slippery and seems to attract grease.
I’d always wanted to get a Lego case but it took Belkin a long time to make the Lego case for the iPhone 6. At last I’ve got one, and it’s great. Much better than the Apple case.
The bC16 layout
On the theme of the bC16 I thought I’d post this very useful image of the control layout. It will be the start point for all my patches too as it is very clear and simple.
Can’t help but notice all the Apple Watch apps
It seems that every app update now has something to do with the Apple Watch. There are going to be so many apps that extend to it soon.
It makes me start to wonder about my decision to go for a pebble time. Of course it’s too late to go back on that but it is nagging at me. I still think that the Apple Watch is too fat and I’m sure that within a couple of years there’ll be one much better and much thinner too. My money is on it being called the Apple Watch Air! Who knows.
