Happy pi day! ∞, 0, and of course, 808 <3 ! Peace! ...now off to the day job...!

New Meiko Indie 1 Video Version ii

Minute of good work, I hope. Audio is demo with MEIKO Vocaloid. Video is MikuMikuDance animation software, and Vimeo-found Creative Commons background video(see notes on vid).
Low-res Lucy is played on this, me on gtr and fretless, and I think I used Volca beats for drums ( or did I use a loop, or the Session Drummer w/step sequencer in SONAR?// The last, maybe some elements from the first two//)...
Enjoy!

Going to try Ad Sense, maybe.... but here's another thing I'll try;
If you find value in what is here, and it is practical for you, please leave a tip, via dogecoin! (I'll see if this works technically sometime): :)

I finally started troubleshooting "Clanger," and I'm making progress.
I seem to be hamstrung with too many interesting ideas and to little time and energy, though. Aside from getting the above working and for sale as a kit;
1.) get a Linn/Oberhiem sample data drum machine going on the new "Tiva" Launchpad from TI. The Stellaris code I found, http://forum.stellarisiti.com/topic/543-stellaris-drum-machine/ needs modification for the Tiva, and I'm having to learn the eclipse/Linux toolchain to get anything beyond "blinky" going on the Tiva.
2.) Get an ancient Xbox hacked open fully, to use it as a power supply for dcist's "CS-style VCO." http://itist.de/tag/cs-style-vco/ My earlier midi to cv for the MSP430 Launchpad project should drive it fine, with just a few code modifications.
3.) Update my old, half-finished VST plugins as soon as I receive the drive adapter to access the drive the original VC++ projects are (hopefully) on.
4.) Plow trough the 750-page Supercollider book to  try to get a handle on how to make interesting music with it, beyond just modifying examples.
5.) Put time into finding a part-time job as a music therapist, probably at nursing homes. I got a little ad-hoc experience at this two weeks ago, and I found it therapeutic, myself.

Any ideas or feedback?

Now for troubleshooting. This is "Clanger", basically a clone of the Boss DR-110 Cymbal/Hat section, but with more of a "Lunetta"-style input for the filter/envelopes. I still have time to get this "live" on Club Jameco, but I was pretty demoralized when I got it off of the solderless, boxed up like this, and no test plan when it didn't make a sound!

Another take

in progress...

It is in the mix, but it doesn't show clanger very well. Still working on the output filtering and decay times/tone.

Improv with Clanger, SR16 hack, Lucy, and piano softsynth.

My 'Clanger' Metallic Analog synth kit brief is up for voting on: http://www.clubjameco.com/index.php/projects/view/24/sorting:dating … I'm excited, and hope you decide to vote for it

New Song Done With SR-16 & CMOS 4000 Synth

First Proper Recording Of Bent SR-16

drum machine bent --fun weekend project

Good tutorial on eclipse on linux for Tiva: here

Project0 going. Used gedit, not the inscrutable vim. Next, I'll install eclipse. This thing is so many more capabilities than the msp G series lp----I hope I don't stall out on it thinking "could do this, could do that..."

Tiva LP arrived. Back to blinking LEDs for the moment!

Then to edit and build the examples with vim on a Linux laptop.

More TTL Noiser. I'm thinking of expanding on it with some kind of cv/gate ins, controlled chaos kind of thing. I'm going to etch a custom board for it, also.

Piece done with Boxed & Finished Total Noiser!

A digital logic synth--great fun!

I'll post the schematic when I get it done in Eagle.
