Not just modular synths, but modular anything.
Patchblocks at NIME 2014
Shows what you can do with these little things.
Brute LFO and Molecule Synth
I do like using this app with stuff. You can get some really interesting sounds and effects from the various modules in my molecule synth.
littleBits adding new synth modules
Which is brilliant, as I think that these go beyond what I’d hoped that they would add. I thought it would be great if we just got MIDI, but this is awesome. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on these and connecting my littleBits kit to a bigger musical world.
First experiment with littleBits and Brute LFO
And then I got my littleBits Arduino Module
Getting Patchblocks
Opening up the Patchblocks
Box
I’d almost forgotten that I’d funded these on kickstarter, so when they arrived it was a lovely surprise! I’ve barely had a chance to get to grips with these as yet, but having opened up the software and loaded a sample patch they look like great fun.
Modular stuff at Musikmesse
Doepfer A-100 at the ALEX4 booth in Musikmesse 2014
More modular goodness at the ALEX4 book at Musikmesse.
It was pretty amazing to be at Musikmesse this year. There was just so much to see, and there’s so many pictures to share too. This is just a little start really.
Just a little update to the littleBits video page
The page has been updated with a new video as I’ve added some more bits to my kit. The latest video on the page uses a line input to connect an iPhone 3G into the kit.
Getting some more littleBits time
I finally got some time today to do some more stuff with my littleBits kit. Using the new stuff to get some different outcomes with my kit. It’s so much fun to make stuff with the kit. So many interesting sounds that you can get out of it. Of course I could buy more bits and expand my kit almost for ever. I don’t think it would be too healthy if I did that from a financial point of view though.
So instead I’m starting to try out connecting the kit to other stuff. I already tried this with the molecule synth, which I will try again as it goes, but one of the new bits I got was the mic bit which also has a line input which should allow for some more creative connections.
As always, there’ll be videos …
