Early Stribe Prototype Music

This is a prototype of Josh Boughey's stribe project. I'm attempting to write some software to turn the hardware into a musical instrument.

After a few nights of communicating with the firmware to light up LEDs in a meaningful manner, I switched gears and created a quick application that would hopefully result in a musical statement, albeit without the LED feedback I'm looking for. I'm still working on this.

In addition to the stribe, I'm using a foot controller to adjust velocities, and a sustain pedal to... sustain notes. MachFive 2 is the sound source. The video is dark because I wanted to focus attention on the LEDs.

beautiful! did you build the kit from directions on stribe's site? or did you acquire one from him directly? Thinking of starting this up as my next project, your monome patches have really opened up the potential of that interface a lot. great work.

josh built it. I'm all thumbs when it comes to soldering. I live locally, so I was able to talk to the man himself.

I plan to post some more stribe stuff, but I just received my plan b model 28 tap clock.

So many interesting things to try. I'm having so much fun.
