Added some new Visualisers for the SPOKE midi pages. This will work with any MIDI controller, OR just tap the screen to get randomised notes! www.spokeboard.com

Sams enamel pins work great as a touch sensors on SPOKE boards. Anyone else excited for his EuroVision act?

I'm super excited about some of the web-based tools I've come up with for SPOKE.

Here is a video demonstrating the Web-Based IDE where you can find, edit and download #Circuitpython templates and examples straight to the SPOKE. It even handles serial messaging for debugging!

I searched "data center coloring book" because I was trying to decide if I should make one and found this, from a power management company, and I don't think I can top this www.eaton.com/explore/_pfc...

was the salt at least real? or is it fake plastic salt too?

I call that the research stage. Let's see how MANY nice noises it can make!

That would be great! Can I send you any more information about it all?

I have a new page for SPOKE that allows you to edit the circuitpython code on the board directly from the browser. With a bunch of templates for different modes and tools like a scale-builder that lets you choose exactly what midi note is mapped to each pin.

Paper and pencil drumz.

Small preview of a web based interface for my SPOKE board where you can search for sounds, load them onto the webpage and then use the board to trigger them.

I already have a million ideas for lessons/workshops/installations.

Gooey. It was gwee until I heard someone else say it out loud.

Thank you for the kind review of our The Beating Birch album!

There's a word limit to posts here so I'll quote a few bits:
'songs' 'listening' 'something' 'weirder stuff' 'Recommended'.

You'll have to click the link to fill in the gaps yourself.

This is so good! I'm going to test this method in making some capacitive touch sensors for the SPOKE board. Brilliant work!

Eurovision 2026: Electronic artist and YouTuber Look Mum No Computer to represent UK in Vienna The synth artist and Eurovision fan says he finds it "completely bonkers" to be representing the UK.

My mate Sam has been picked as the UK entry to Eurovision which is one of the best bits of news in the past few years. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I forgot I also needed to get myself a PocketBeagle2 so now need to wait until that one arrives too! It's a very sleek looking board though, feels weighty and high quality.

Can't wait to use roughly 10% of it's potential!

I got to explain what CEEFAX was to a young one today and it's easy to forget how far ahead that was. We had interactive TV in 1974 with the latest news and weather and sports results. I vaguely remember it having games? Or was it jokes/quizzes?

I am also curious as to who is reviewing albums nowadays as its been so long since I released anything worthwhile that I'm very out of the loop. thebeatingbirch.bandcamp.com/album/kora-h...

OOOOOOOOOoooooo, core memory just unlocked. I recognise this fella and that diamond that I thought was a shredded wheat.

Spoke is a GREAT midi/touch controller that I'm so glad I backed on KS. Looks cute too and great packaging (I know it's a small thing, but who doesn't love good packaging?)

Kickstarter pledges for my spoke board are now out in the wild and its both very very exciting and also a bit nerve wracking.

You should do a podcast.

It took us 5 years or so, but we finally finished and are releasing our The Beating Birch debut album.

It's the start of a story about Hope.

Yeah, Reaktor and Kontakt which are NI plugins are very widely used and are incredible. Hopefully they can be bought up by people who can keep them going. I too am a cheapskate, but I do purchase the ones worth purchasing!

This is pretty big news in thr musicy tech world!
