i2c / ii: basic physical connection walkthrough
i2c, or ii, is a flexible communication protocol which allows certain modules from manufacturers like Whimsical Raps and monome to send commands to each other digitally, which opens up possibilities that 3.5mm patch cables can’t facilitate.
Though connecting i2c headers is pretty straightforward for the confident user, first-timers may feel uncertain about the process. This video demonstrates the basic steps (which cables to use, which pins to use, the order to go in), but it is _not_ a deep-dive into i2c functionality. It's meant to be a very brief surface-level overview, but we'd be happy to show more -- just let us know what you want to see in the comments :)

PPM + MANGROVE 2023
มุมมอง 4K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
The 2023 redesign of MANGROVE brought a full rework of the module, introducing a number of new integrated circuits. While most behavior stays the same as the original design, there are some notable differences which are all outlined in its web documentation ( www.whimsicalraps.com/pages/support-mangrove ). This video focuses on the accompanying module, PPM, which breaks out many of MANGROVE's i...

Maps w/ Trent: S2E4 Dynamic Mutation
มุมมอง 1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Herein we explore the limits of ASL and it's many modes of functionality. There's some extensive discussion & demonstration of using `dynamic` variables to create descriptions for the possibility, and probability of change. Here's the preparation script I made to help guide the initial performance: gist.github.com/trentgill/dfaea6bd8add079d6d3c5b9da4eb3c8a The tiny Just Friends emulation from t...
Maps w/ Trent: S2E3 Long Distance

The performance at the beginning takes a long time to get going. Jump to 18:00 to hear it go somewhere musical unless you're a completionist. We primarily talk about the 'fnl' function i built for the performance, and explore the many ways it can be used to chain behaviour over time. There's another 'music' section (with narration) at 1:28:00. Here's the gist for those who want to study the scr...

Capture of the twitch stream from 9/3. Stumbling through the creation of a new lua library for arranging sequences of values. It's primarily intended for writing melodies and arpeggios in a way that inherently allows arbitrarily complex structures. That means you can write a simple arpeggio, easily, but also have multiple arpeggios that alternate, or interleave, or phase in fun ways. Get the de...
Maps w/ Trent: Designing with a timeframe
มุมมอง 8324 ปีที่แล้ว
Capture of the twitch stream from 8/20. An exercise in the generation of ideas. I start by zipping through a brief 15 minute design - some kind of gameified synthesizer with a rapid performative interface inspired by the Super Nintendo controller. The body of the stream goes on to explore the potential of a Eurorack mixer design. Lots of questions and discussion of working with constraints, and...
Maps w/ Trent: Music in the time of Asynchronous Functional Programming
มุมมอง 7854 ปีที่แล้ว
Capture of the twitch stream from 7/23. Without a real plan for the stream, it ended up being an exploration of crow scripting with the forthcoming `clock` library (borrowed from norns). I use some functional programming techniques along with the (asynchronous) clock library to write a small script that makes a surprising amount of sound & movement. First section runs through creating an arpegg...
Maps w/ Trent: crow with norns and the macbook wet

Capture of the twitch stream from 7/16. In which I attempt to write a norns script for uploading crow scripts, and fail spectacularly by spilling a pint of water directly into a laptop (@52mins). After some floundering, there's a little impromptu synth jam. The whole patch is crow ~ Just Friends (in geode) ~ Just Friends (in synthesis) ~ Three Sisters (in parallel with the direct JF output). Br...

Capture of the twitch stream from 6/18. Something a little different this week - we dove into the Crow firmware & git repo, preparing for the release of version 2.0.
