In/Out Computer Arts Festival
December 12th
The Tank, NYC

I will be performing at the In/Out Festival as Ocular Noise Machine on Saturday December 12th at the Tank in NYC. Ocular Noise Machine is an experimental AV ensemble consisting of my fellow Sinch band mate Tony Lanutti a.k.a Bluskreen on guitar and laptop and myself of Viditar, Ohm64 and Laptop.

Artists Include:
Ocular Noise Machine < that’s me
tehn
Kid_Sputnik
Peter Kirn
Switchboard Operator

This is festival is going to have some amazing performers and workshops. Our friends at Max4Live will be doing a workshop (using the Ohm64 with Max for Live) and so will Peter Kirn from Create Digital Music. Tickets and more information can be found here.

Once again, the short-sighted naming of apps strikes again! OhmSampler is now LividSampler, and works with Ohm64 and block. I’ve fixed some quirks about saving the setups, and samples play for the duration of the button press (rather than the duration of the selection). It’s damn fun to drop a bunch of weird sounds and just start messing around. I highly encourage such activity!
Also, In my effort to get the monomeBridge working for the block, I released it broken for the Ohm64 . Oops. It’s fixed now.

With the block now shipping, we’ve quickly dated our monome bridge’s crafty name. “monomeBridge” works with either the Ohm64 or the Block, and auto-detects as needed. If you have multiple blocks/Ohm64s or a mix of block and Ohm64 on your USB ports, you can manually specify which one you want to use.

There’s a few other features I’ve added:

• You can slow down the rate of messages – letting them go too high seemed to freeze some machines. I also found a bug that may have been the true cause of freezes, so this version should be much more stable.
• The “test” mode lets you confirm the connection between your Livid controller and the computer, letting you draw light patterns.
• There’s an announcement at startup of what port name the software is using, so you know the controller was found and communication works.
• “MIDI thru” will pass the block or Ohm’s MIDI messages to another MIDI port, so it can be used in other apps or devices.

This adds a fix to limit the amount of data that gets sent to the ohm, which was causing freezes on some computers. Update now!
It is also worth noting that if you are using Max5 Runtime to run monome apps, you can just use the .mxf file in runtime, rather than running the mon+ohm application. Not really a big deal, but it might make windows XP operation easier. You can find the .mxf in the same folder as the .exe in windows. On mac, ctl-click on the mon+ohm.app icon, and “Show Package Contents” – you’ll find it in there.
UPDATE: v003  adds MIDI thru to pass the Ohm64′s MIDI onto another MIDI port, such as a MIDIYoke port, IAC port, or even an external device.
