Processing 1.0 now live

25. of November, 2008 | Posted in

by Berserka

After previous 162 releases in the last 7 years the Processing team now finally releases Processing 1.0.

If you have never heard of Processing here is a short quote from their website:

Processing is a programming language, development environment, and online community that since 2001 has promoted software literacy within the visual arts. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing quickly developed into a tool for creating finished professional work as well.

1967 Stylophone

17. of October, 2008 | Posted in

by clrcdd

YouTube

The Stylophone is a miniature stylus operated synthesizer invented in 1967. It features a metal keyboard played by touching it with a stylus. That's right, over four decades ago with computers the size of a gymnasium and nary a PDA in sight the Stylophone was a portable electronic music instrument with stylus based control.
Now all of you that r already itchy ... the Stylophone now is available again on thinkgeek for a twenty bucks, but i´ll bet not for long.

SILLY SEASON...

07. of October, 2008 | Posted in

by Kompact

... is over now, if you still don't know what to do with your precious time, here are a few tips to waste some hours/days/months this fall:

Left4Dead is a co-op style first person shooter due to be released this november where groups of up to 4 people team up online to fight hordes of zombies (including the opposite 4 players fighting on the infected side) controlled by the AI-Director. The only objective is: Stay alive long enough to reach the safety zone at the end of each campaign.
TeamFortress 2 has been released quite a while ago now, nevertheless it is steadily updated and always up for surprises. The unique thing about this online shooter in my opinion are the comic-like characters/classes, each of them equipped with a unique set of abilities and weapons, which can be upgraded by earning achievements. The scoreboard in the game doesn't resemble your mere kill/death statistic - assists, healing and capturing are vital points in receiving a decent score also. The game relies heavily on group effort and class balance within the teams, so the challenge is ever changing --> Warning: Highly Addictive!

As some of you might have noticed already, both of these games are decendants of the Source engine, so this is my way of honoring one of the best engines out there in my opinion and my personal favorite... have fun and don't forget to check back on your real-life from time to time.

And last but not least, speaking of zombies: I've had some trouble getting these weird creatures out of my flat a couple of nights ago...

Build by sound artist Recompas, the VoS Sequencere is a 10 step analog sequencer, which basically steps through 10 different voltage levels that are set by the black knobs. The output control voltage and trigger signals are typically used to control pitch, filters, drum triggers and an endless number of other parameters on other synths.

The Voice of Saturn Sequencer can be bought either as a fully assembled unit or as a DIY-kit.
