Glitch Machine

I just submitted my new app, Glitch Machine, to the App Store:

Glitch Machine is a generative music synthesizer. Expressions are edited live to produce sound interactively. The magic of Glitch Machine’s synthesis is in the BYTE, which wraps a final output value to a number between 0 – 255. The repeating patterns (or chaos) of this ‘wrapping’ produces waveforms and beats.

It uses RPN syntax for livecoding crazy beats and waves on the fly:

Glitch Machine, playing uh...

Some of you may have seen viznut’s blog post about this kind of synthesis.

It should be hopefully be live some time next week!

Extended by 12″

I got tired of sitting around all day, every day… so I decided to take the plunge and make a stand-up workspace. After a bunch of my own designs involving 2×4′s and too much cutting and nailing, a fellow tweeter by the name of @spongsalot suggested this particularly simple solution:

It’s all about the pipes, baby.

That’s 16″ of PVC pipe with 12″ of dowel set inside, per leg. Lift the table, install pipe/dowel concoction for each leg, and set it down. Took about 20 minutes to cut everything, and 5 minutes to install. The pipe isn’t even glued or fastened to the dowel, so you can easily disassemble and adjust if needed.

Very clever and simple solution… thank you @spongsalot. It is this sort of useful lateral thinking that will keep your head from rolling once I conquer the galaxy.

Fargoal 2

Shrink-wrapping sprites… this is the output of some code I wrote last night to help with certain visual effects. Can you tell what it is?
