Etch a Sketch style visual midi LFO

[Alkex]

Hi Folks,

Just thought you might be interested in this little toy I'm working on based on the Mios platform:

A midi Lfo with "Etch a sketch" style realtime waveform drawing.

Basically you have a 14*10 dot matrix display of a waveform you can draw and edit with the silver bottom knobs. The Four Double pots control speed and depth of each of the Four Lfos.

Leds beside knobs flash at rate of Lfo.

It is in early stage but I will be working on the following other the next week:

-Realtime "averaging" of jumps (portamento)

-sequencer mode for note outputing

-try to sort out an easy way to put decay on the pulsing leds so they appear to fade out.

-make a nice wooden chassis.

I'll happily give my code to anyone interested, allthough It's very teadious and clumbsy (but I'm learning  :-[)

Hope you like it

Best

Alex

Wow very nice project :-)

your panel looks really great, especially with those square leds

I can give you C code for the note seq part (I have implemented this yesterday for my own project)

if it's useful for you...

Hi Alkex,

really great idea and especially good "execution" (I mean: nice panel! :)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Sweet! I love the concept, look forward to building one :) Maybe you could publish the project on the wiki?

Those LEDs are nice too! What are they?
