______________________________________________________________
The Kaossonome is my first electronic music controller. It interfaces the musician via a touchscreen, resting on top of a 256 LED matrix, and eight rotary encoders with push‐buttons. Enclosed within an aluminum front panel, a dark wooden frame, and a clear Plexiglas back panel, the controller is protected from external forces and is less than an inch thick. The touchscreen can be controlled with either a finger or a stylus and the knobs turn and toggle with ease. The Kaossonome powers and transmits serial data over USB. The serial data is then intercepted by a modified version of ArduinomeSerial, which transforms the data into MIDI and OSC. The software savvy electronic musician can design intermediate software devices to grab data from the device, route touch-screen presses and rotary encoder changes to musically defined parameters, and then send data back to the device to control the LEDs. Inspired by Korg’s Kaoss Pad and the Monome, the Kaossonome features Kaoss Pad-like sampling programs and is fully Monome 256 compliant. Additional programs include an algorithmic step sequencer, a beat synced sample chopping performance controller, and many more.
Please post the guide to make this thing! It’s so awesome!
+1. Please do.
I plan on releasing a how-to, complete with schematics, parts list, step-by-step, etc. However, I want to make sure the how-to, firmware, and serial program are all perfect beforehand, so it will probably be a few weeks.
Also, I will be selling kits and completed devices. If you are interested in either, please send me an email or respond to this post. I’m trying to get an idea of how many to make for the first batch.
Thanks for your interest :]
That would be so great! Looking forward to it!
Please please please sell kits!
I’d be interested in a kit too!!
I need a kit of this so bad!!!!!! Please post again soon!
All good news. I didn’t expect a reply so soon.
As I currently have 0 money, I would probably eventually be more interested in the schematics, etc. That would give me the chance to make the investment as funds become available.
Did you create your own memory banks and oscillators ???
How did you do that ?
I’m preparng to work on my own concept in a years time. It’s completely different but I’m still trying how to figure out the fundamentals ;;))
thx a bunch
Brilliant! I too am low on cash, so I can’t be definite on whether I can have one or not (want is a totally different thing). Keep us in the loop!
How
Much
Nice Work.!
I´d be interested in a kit too.
Thanks a lot.
nuff said! want 1 2
Looks awesome!
The first thing I thought of after watching the spectrum analyzer video was, add a nice dac and control the spectrum via the touchscreen (some sort of wacky eq)
Just joined your Google Group. This looks like a fun project and i would definitly love to see a how-to and a parts list (i’m especially interested in the touchscreen as i don’t have any experience with that). Looking forward to hearing more about this
