here's a look at a new "chordkeyboard" module I made for bespoke, which has behavior similar to the trendy "telepathic orchid" synth that has been making the rounds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-wy... #bespokesynth #synthsky

the arduino nesso n1 is a pretty cool piece of hardware, aself-contained unit with a small touchscreen, wifi, buttons, lo-ra, etcetera. here's a project I just made with it to control my sonos setup at home without using my phone. project is up on github! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG-p...

I made a simple app that makes it possible to use the Ableton Move as a generic MIDI control surface. it's available for free on github. check it out! youtu.be/3MFJ3M2qzuE #ableton #abletonmove #midi #synth #synthsky

further progress on the bespoke cyberdeck. it's held together nicely with an aluminum frame now, all super sturdy and opens/closes without anything getting squished or falling out. I was planning to add an aluminum faceplate, but it looks cool in this exposed form, so I'll leave it as-is #synthsky

here's a demo of bespoke's new latencycalculator module, plus a fun accidental discovery that you can use it to measure real-world distances (???) youtu.be/9TesmE8e3-A #bespokesynth

I really love figuring out how to make hardware do stuff that it's not meant for

woah, sweet: the ableton move uses a very similar protocol as the push 2 for communication, so with only a minor tweak, bespoke already has some minimal move support

"hello, 40 year old man, now that it's several days before christmas: what did you think of that unicorn diary set that you purchased from us in early december? what do you mean, you 'haven't opened it yet'?"
