Make Hack Do at the Science Museum

This is where I was on the last Saturday of this show at the Science Museum. It was good. Smaller than I expected, but a reasonable amount of stuff to see. Of course there were the usual things like 3D printing and that, but good to see some soft circuit stuff, and more experimental things too. I like that the science museum try this stuff out.

littleBits announce an Arduino module

Added to the fact that they also announced this not so long ago, and this littleBits thing is going to start to get expensive soon. Although, probably, that ship has sailed already.

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.
