Here is an example of how to use the same knobs (e-g. 6 knobs easy to connect to the 6 Arduino analog inputs) several times to adjust several parameters spread over several « pages ». This enables to « multiplex » the same knobs many times, in a safely fashion thanks to the protection mecanism: after changing the active [...]

In the post “Playing with laser beams to create very simple rhythms” I explained a theoretical approach that I want to materialize into an instrument. The idea is to create complex rhythms by combining several times the same rhythmic patterns, but each time with some variation compared to the original pattern. Several possible variations (or [...]
