Finished casings!

Finished casings!13.02.2009 02:21:20

I have to post this because you can't even fathom how excited and relieved I am, after 6 months of hard word and rethinking the casing and redoing the electronics and lots lots of development, I'm very proud to show you the first picture of the finished minicommand. The logo engraving will change, but the rest is pretty much the real deal:

The other thing you can't see on this picture is that the minicommand is now completely and easily programmable using the arduino environment. I wrote lots of libraries to interface with midi, to build sequencers, to connect to the monomachine and the machinedrum, and the device comes with example sketches (programs with sourcecode) for all the firmwares I demoed on the website, and much much more.

Have a look at this video to see the details about the device:

Here is a list of the firmwares I built for the minicommand:
- standard midi controller firmware
- machinedrum notes (hook up a keyboard to the machinedrum). The device has an additional MIDI IN for that kind of purposes
- monomachine firmware (revert to kit, etc...)
- supatrigga for the machinedrum
- genetic patch mutation firmware for machiinedrum and monomachine
- polyrhythmic sequencer (with MIDI CLOCK slave or master function)
- arpeggiator
- much more...

I'm incredibly happy and really confident that taking a few more months to finish the device has been worth it.
