Odroid-C1 + Touchboard + Waveboard = mobile synth for everyone

Hi, this is a setup that consists of an Odroid-C1 with self compiled realtime preemptive kernel connected to a Bare Conductive Touchboard that drives my Waveboard. You could use it headless (without screen) but in fact you don’t even need it. The quad core sbc Odroid-C1 is fast enough to play midi in realtime without„Odroid-C1 + Touchboard + Waveboard = mobile synth for everyone“ weiterlesen

Electroharp for less than 10 Euro

Hi, today we will build an elcetronic harp for less than 10 Euro. You’ll need a Bare Conductive Touchboard for this  which costs a little bit more ;-). You can buy it from Exp-Tech in Germany The essential part of the harp is this stainless conductive thread. So this video is made for those who„Electroharp for less than 10 Euro“ weiterlesen

Waveboard – extend your touchboard with more functions

Hi, the Bare Conductive Touchboard is a wonderful thing to play around with. Here I’ll show you how to use some of the A0-A5 pins and some digital IO-Pins on the board to extend the possibilities of the touch board. As shown in my first video about the Waveboard the touchboard itself is easy and„Waveboard – extend your touchboard with more functions“ weiterlesen

Update RT- kernel for Cirrus Logic/Wolfson Audio Card

Hi, Cirrus Logic have released an update on their sources (https://github.com/CirrusLogic/rpi-linux/wiki/Building-the-code#install-the-kernel-modules-and-dtb-file-on-the-raspberry-pi) for the Raspberry Pi kernel. For musicians trying to get the older Raspberry Pi boards (only A+ and B+) running in realtime mode like described here I provide an inofficial package for this kernel including all realtime patches. More info about this can be„Update RT- kernel for Cirrus Logic/Wolfson Audio Card“ weiterlesen

Waveboard with Arduino

Hallo zusammen, heute ist der Arduino Tag 2015. Da konnte ich nicht anders und musste mal wieder was Gescheites basteln. Herausgekommen ist das „Waveboard“, ein berührungsloses Midiboard im Eigenbau aus dem Arduino-Clone „Touchboard“ von Bare Conductive . Zutaten: 1 Touch Board 12 Kabel 12 CD-Hüllen 1 Micro-USB Kabel 1 Laptop/Rechner mit Midi tauglicherSoftware (hier: Linux,„Waveboard with Arduino“ weiterlesen

Update for Wolfson Audio Card ( on Raspberry Pi)

Hi, this is just an update for those who use the older Wolfson Audio Card. You can download it here or simply fire up your Raspberry Pi and install it directly. The kernel sources are from Cirrus Logic’s 3.12.33 kernel. This kernel is patched with the realtime preemption patches from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ So now you should„Update for Wolfson Audio Card ( on Raspberry Pi)“ weiterlesen
