This is my first test of having the Monome control some generative drawing along with the audio through this step sequencer I made in Flash similar to the original 64Steps.

I especially like where the step sequencing begins to break down because of how deep the drawing gets.

Its the same drawing engine I used to generate this seasons Thank You cards (although for the Monome version I removed the Type Flakes)

This season's cards in collab with [M]:

    Um, this is VERY cool.

    I'm curious how much was automated, and what was manual.
  • formalplay 3 years ago
    Thanks Jakob! the only thing manual is the selecting of monome buttons. Everything else is the system set up. Sound is triggered and drawing happens during playback so this is composited captures of both from the same session.

    This is great, is that keypad some sort of standard USB board I can buy or did you make it yourself?
  • formalplay 3 years ago
    Thanks Andrew! I didn't make the board, its a Monome [ monome.org ] which you can buy from their site. Its pretty super awesome. The best thing about it is that it really isn't anything until you make something for it to work with so its potential is massive.

    So you built the sequencer and fractals in flash? how did you get flash to communicate with the monome? This is really interesting for me being a flash developer and looking to get a monome in the near future. Great work :D
