I needed this functionality for one of my arduino midi projects that’s on my to do list, this was a quick 15 minute blast through. I’m sure the max isn’t awesome and probably very ugly, but it works.

This weekend I will start some initial trials into building my Made By Robot iPhone app.

I’m not going to go into much detail about what I want to do with the first app, but I’m excited by the idea and will hopefully either give it away for free with the next album, or give the next album away for free with the app. Not worked out which is easier.

I actually have a couple of ideas for Made By Robot iPhone apps, so I’m hoping that I can maybe do one for each release.

Having zero Objective-C experience I’m aware that this might be a painful transition from the day job of coding for the web, but maybe the challenge is what I need.

On a side point, I’m also planning a couple of hardware projects reaching finale this weekend, it all depends on the weather and how much time I spend at the beach with the family.

I seen to be suffering from project overload, as I’m reaching a point where I’m not finishing anything and yet I have a million things going on. Currently on my active projects list (active as in things with hot solder on them):

• PAiA Fat Man Synth – needs soldering finished
• Where’s the party At 8 Bit Sampler – needs finishing and an enclosure finding
• Casio SK-1 Midi Conversion needs desolder and resolder in reverse (silly error)
• Penguins – next album, needs finishing (mainly mix and remaster)
• Touch Screens (I have a PSP sized one with a 8×8 matrix, and a ds one with a 8×16) still prototyping
• Midi Thumb Piano – still prototyping (this one I love the sound of)
• Build housing for Xyloduino
• Resolder my arduinome (currently sat in pieces)
• Cubeduino – cube shaped arduinome (still on drawing board, but I have all the bits)
• Circuit Bend my TR-626 and 505
• Open and Clean my Moog Prodigy and install the midi retrofit I have
• Start work on the Seven Seas DVD project
• learn all the goodness that comes in Komplete 5 which should arrive at the weekend

I then have dozens of note pad sketches of things I haven’t even started. I really do need to be independantly wealthy, or super crazy focused.
