There's Nuit Blanche this weekend at Old City Hall and there's DPAD 3 at the end of October.

I book almost all the chip shows in Toronto.  Feel free to email me at [email protected].  Heck, if you're around this Saturday you could play a set for Nuit Blanche.  What's your setup like?

The arcade buttons are actually surprisingly comfortable. I guess that's because I have experience with both keyboards and arcade machines.

However, for those of you who don't have experience with arcade hardware I saw a classical pianist step up to the Pianocade and he had no trouble playing Flight of the Bumblebee. This isn't someone involved in the project who'd been practicing all day long,  it was just a average musician.

To re-necro this thread, I ended up using an ATmega µc to drive the module. The device takes the midi clock from the Atari ST and plays back the midi data stored within it. It starts and stops in accordance with the midi start/stop signals so everything is automatically synced up nicely.

To compose the music I simply plug the module into my computer and write the parts with Renoise and I then export the midi (which was a task in itself to get working, since the version of Renoise I have lacks a midi export function) and convert it for use on my device. The device has a four LED binary 'display' and two buttons that let me scroll through up to fifteen midi sequences (stored on an SD card, since the chip I was using had only 256x8 bytes of eeprom and I didn't want to have to flash the rom every time I loaded a new song.

All in all, way more complicated than it needs to be. But fun.

Yeah, I wish that video was still online somewhere. Did any snag a copy of it?

Darn, I missed it.

Feel free to share it around however you want, peer-to-peer or through facebook or whatever. As long as you leave the readme text with it, do as you please.

If even one person checks out this album, I'd be happy.
