Scribbles is a simple painting app for OS X ... it won't rival photoshop level features or anything, but still I like. The app eschews text labels, opting for big & simple graphical icons instead. I find it relaxing. [seen above - the much-feared Purplanomnomicon fighter/cruiser, no.6 in a series]

Take for example - aah, the soothingly intuitive and animated layers UI -

Darnnit - where'd that confounded color picker go? oh IT'S RIGHT THERE -

Surprisingly convincing 5th-grade era drybrush + egg tempera look? -- check!

So yeah, the name's Scribbles - might even buy me the full version. Ok, fine - I'll buy the full version. (oh and Tweetie ain't half bad neither)

Moloko goes coo-coo when you amplify that yoohoo ... so many surprisingly defined patterns that somehow went undocumented. Oh well, not too difficult to setup - just mind the mess after.

Arduino MIDI in & PWM filter

2008-08-28T12:03:22Z

for use with MIDI to control voltage arduino code found here - Arduino MIDI2CV Good stuff, tho I'm tempted to skip the pwm and head straight for an spi dac or even rig up an r2r dac. wee shalll seee.

Where are all these voices coming from?

2008-06-14T05:00:17Z

It seems there's a rash a voice changer circuits going 'round major electronics publications. 03/08 issue of elektor - cylon voice05/08 nuts & volts - build a voice changer07/08 everyday practical electronics - galactic voice This is a problem because I really like voice changers . . . and have less than no time to build them.

‘duino array converter

After searching the web for simple software to use for converting data of different types in my Arduino development, I realized the Arduino itself is all I really needed! So here be a little sketch for converting arrays - Array Converter

I've decided to revisit my Arduino synth project from last September in hopes of creating a versatile synthesizer shield. I'm rather partial to the digitally-controlled-analog approach. I had an XR2206 function generator IC lying about, so I decided to put it to work as a possible core/VCO of this endeavor. It's quite easy to set up for accurate sine wave generation though driving the frequency with a convenient voltage is still something I'm figuring out.
Datasheets always seem to get a little vague just in the real clutch areas I need to focus on - a circumstance I find myself in often when getting to know a component, I suppose I'm a bit impatient and would rather experiment than attempt to decipher datasheet specs which I'm unfamiliar with. - And of course, why not? - the experimentation is the fun part! As a kid I remember acquiring new transformer figures and excitedly attempting to morph them without consulting the highly visible photo-instructions printed on each package. It's efficient to approach a new situation with proper procedure dictated to you - but that always leave me asking, "Why is that the proper method? and is it really the best way?" more to come . . .

Happy Technology Awareness Day!

A year ago today Boston authorities completely overreacted to a creative ad campaign promoting the Aqua Teen Hunger Force animated series. The people who made the promotional LED signs faced very serious criminal charges for a harmless decorative act. Let's all try to make technology a little more open, friendly, and familiar to the world. We need to keep all this rampant fear in check - our rights really do depend on it.
