Arc Rhythm Generator

Рет қаралды 396,319

7 жыл бұрын

The hardware is an arc by monome.org. The Arc is a USB device consisting of four high resolution encoders, each surrounded by 64 variable brightness LEDs. It is no longer made. I have no association with monome.org.
I created the software which can be downloaded at: github.com/stretta/gridlab.I publish a great deal of my work at github, all of which you can freely download. I am not a company and I'm not trying to sell you something.
Thank you for watching the video (from 2017). I create these videos because I like to share the things I make. If you want to know more about me and what I do, please read the About section at the top of / stretta

@stretta 4 ай бұрын

If you're referring to the hardware, I use it daily. I have lots of knobby-encoder boxes like the PC12 and the Twister, mostly when I'm looking for a 1:1 mapping of knob per function. For all other encoder operations, I prefer the precision and flexibility of the Arc. If you're referring to the software demonstrated in the video, I usually develop something, perform with it, and move on to the next item on my endless list of application ideas to explore.

Hi. Just wow, your design completely blew me away. I consult extensively on user experience and design of various sorts. I occasionally lecture on the subject, and would love to be able to use your video. We usually teach that truly intuitive is a noble but entirely unreachable goal, but one we still strive to approach. Your design makes me question that. Thanks for sharing.

@braeden29221 4 ай бұрын

This is a really neat idea for a drum machine and the physical implementation of it is done really well. The machining looks great and the LED arrays (I think thats what they are) are spot on. It's all very aesthetically pleasing, minimalistic but very functional

@marcpym5251 4 ай бұрын

A fantastic tool for finding inspiration for interesting rhythms. What I would love is an addition of a mode that only allows RPMs that will guarantee a line will also fall into the 16th grid and trigger a sound. I find it usfuel for improvisation that lines don't always trigger sounds, but it might be frustrating if you try something specific, but the lines just won't trigger sounds, like a snare that hits every rotation, but sometimes it doesn't, might be too confusing.

Hello! I really like the interface and this interesting control scheme. I had a question about the density control. I'm curious exactly how the dial is manipulated to generate the rhythm. You said it was not random, and I struggled to parse through the documents on your github to find my answer . So I'm curious still about how exactly the input works, like if you're pressing top down on the dial, if it's reading tactile input on the sides, or just reading the rotation change, or if there's a joystick like input component? Then also, what's determining the placement of the notes as the density is increased? For example, could I subdivide the 360 degrees of measure with exactly "n" equidistant notes, and how? Thank you, and thank you for continuing to share.
