FYP 2 - Critique 2 Media Zone Trigger

This is Media Zone Trigger where I can trigger a place to play a Sound File.

Demo will be presented in class.

FYP 2 CRITIQUE 2 Back to Basic

This is Back To Basic 9. This software basically is hacking the keyboard so when we are typing on the keyboard, it will produce sound. We can key in the key from A-Z and with some keys that stay on the left side of the Enter key.

The software startup.

File > Open Setup

Then look for .btb files, ONLY.

After loading the .btb files, the interface will change into another color. During the startup, there's no sound if we push button on our keyboard.

Notice that sound files will be loaded into this area so when we are typing, sound will be triggered.

This is how it looks like when we are typing it.

Once again, this software is called Back To Basic9 from http://www.wizardmaster.com/bludgeonsoft/audio.html

FYP 2 Critique 2 MORE PLEASE

This is the OpenKinect Installation Guide @ OpenKinect.org

This is the source from http://www.ros.org/wiki/kinect_tools

This guy he is using Ubuntu operating system, so as he listed there for Windows OS will be partial functionality and just enough to be useful in some situations only.

More to come... Cheers!

FYP 2 - Critique 2 (Working Progress) CONT Some More

This is another way of using Kinect with WiiMote. This also another new way of playing with Kinect, but this guy also the same, only showing the playing method, not the hacking method. Coding and Hacking still looking for it. It is really hard to look for coding for Kinect.

This is a link to a website where it provides the open source driver and the demo video with it.

FYP 2 - Critique 2 (Working Progress) CONT

This is Media Zone Trigger where I will be used as the Drum Kit. BUT! There is always a BUT. It is only a Trial Version. So, when I was so excited to get into it, create the hot spot and try to program everything into place, IT IS NOT PROGRAMMABLE because it is not a FULL VERSION! Only full version gets the Full Function. Still looking for the solution for this. "ONLINE SOLUTION"


Another Instruments is going to be a Circuit Bending method where using Mixer to create sound. Since my project is more to Experimental Music, and Mr.Kok Yoong said change the way of playing instead of just stay with one. I don't have any photos yet because the thing is with Mr.Kok Yoong. Speakers and Mixer.

FYP 2 - Critique 2 (Working Progress)

Here it comes the Critique 2. So, for now I've been doing deeeeeeep research on Kinect with Open Kinect Driver. Everything is still in progress because the Kinect, is still new in the market for people to hack around. When I tried to search "Kinect Hack" or "Kinect Piano Coding", it will just appear the work has been done instead of showing the source to get to the coding part. So, still working on Kinect.

This is where I download the open source driver for Kinect, I'm not sure whether is the correct one or not.

This is something could do with Kinect if I'm able to hack into it. It is the hacking method I wanted to do, but it didn't shows how it has been hacked.

To Be Continued...
