c programming

So, today I going start going over the basics of C for my ds project. The syntax is a little different that I am use to but I've been programming in python so it should be an improvement over that. I assuming the C will at least allow me to be able to have the basis to develop for a lot of other hardware devices since, most assembler for hardware always work with C.

New Projects

So I have two new projects that I am being two work on.
The first is that I am going to add some small units to my 2nd box...(i should come up with a better name for this inteface ; ) ..) that will have things like faders and knobs installed in them. I am going to connect them to the main unit using ethernet cable(cat5), which will allow me to be able to reposition the box at different angles for a more optimal performance set up. The issue that I am debating about is to where to actually place the analog in card in relation to the box, it will either be inside the box or outside the main box and connecting to all the knob and fader boxes. Another problem it that I am going to have to have more they one cat5 connection in each fader/knob box since, the max number of singles connection I can get through one connect is 7 and plus one for ground.. which I guess isn't to bad since I am only thinking about adding 32 controls in total.
The second project is one that I have been slowly working up to over the past year or so, which is that I am going to develop some type of music software for the nintendo ds. I been talking about doing this for so long but, the fact that I have barely anytime when I am in school to do anything has been making my progress on this project extremely drawn out. Anyways, the idea I have it have some small modular synth environment that will be like a strip down version of Reaktor. This is only an idea and probably will evolve into something completely different because, I need to really get a grip on the platform a bit more before I can say for sure what it will be like. So, this will be my summer project and a very long summer it will be.
; )

beyond the valleys of the dolls.. awesome!

Any movie about the an all girl group in the late 1960's is a plus.... but add Russ Meyer directing. Then you have a classic! Even Roger Ebert(you know from Siskel & Ebert) wrote the script. Go see it! NOW!

Keytar
I'm not sure why behringer is doing this but they must be confused of the decade we are in.

Wicker Man 1973
OK, this is one of the few movies I can say defines description. I guess you could call it a horror/thriller/musical but that really doesn't cover all of it. I would say the less you know the better it makes the surprise of see that music sweeter. Trust me... see it.
I would be even more interested to see how the Hollywood remake of this movie came out. I mean Nicholas Cage is it... yeah it's probably as interesting as watching a dog poop on the floor but, it will problem make you realize how crappy American movies have gotten.. well in case you haven't got the memo about that yet.

This is a newer version of my midi interface that a posted about here around a month ago.Ok these aren't the best video but it will give at least an idea of the size and brightness of my new box. The issue I have is that I do not have a video cam. anymore since I sold it to get the parts for this thing.( The video clips that are in this post are from my digital camera(picture)) I built a little reaktor patch to do the animating that is seen in the video. I'm might include some some of this kind of stuff in a different performance patch latter.
So, unless someone in the bay area wants to help make a video demo for this toy,
= )
this will be all that I can give you for awhile.

Basic Info about the box
Built under the ucapps midibox spec.
The buttons are from sparks electronics but, they do not directly work with the ucapps spec. I had to hack up the boards by scratching out connections and add connections in odd places. It wasn't impossible but it is kind of sketchy at parts.
