However, there is a level of "interpretation software" that has been programmed onto an Arduino board. This takes the serial data from the Max/MSP patch and passes it onto a BAS120 Picaxe printer module, that in turn then uses a parallel connection to control the printer. This Arduino sketch is very simple, and almost just takes the USB data stream and directly transfers whatever information the sequencer sends. <BR/><BR/>I am sorry, but i currently do not have time for probably the next week or so because of my work and teaching workload. But once i do get a chance, i will be sure to post some sound examples. However, it sounds much different from Slocum's work (which is absolutely brilliant - what a guy!). You can think of it more as rhythmic patterns that have the ability to change and evolve over time rather than specific melodic components as in Paul Slocum's printer music.Sebastian Tomczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712567577323498804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23217409.post-50947694829563874212007-10-19T03:54:00.000+09:302007-10-19T03:54:00.000+09:30Hello, I am very interested in your Printer Softwa...Hello, I am very interested in your Printer Software. Is this only software on your computer that you use to control printers, or do you have to modify the firmware of the printer you are using as well. Could you post some sound files of your work in this area? I have heard Paul Slocum's work and it is fantastic.<BR/><BR/>Interesting Blog.<BR/>CarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
