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.

The Next Element: Pure Data Input

pure data

Whilst I’d like to see a Pd input into the Molecule Synth I’m not quite sure how that would work in practice. It’s interesting for sure, but what would it do and how?

I’m sure that Travis already has a great idea for both the what and the how. I hope he’ll let us know soon though.

Shapeways sample kit

My shapeways sample kit arrived. I decided to get this to see what the options were like for 3D print materials from them. It’s a handy reference, and apparently I get a $25 store credit too. So all in all not a bad deal really.

The next elements: Infrared Distance Sensor

infrared element
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.
