Announcements • Roxor 2.6

by

hey there. So Apple rolled out a new version of Java 6, and it appears to have solved the problems of it not letting compiled processing apps to launch. So! this is really good news because there are a ton of now deprecated setup steps that you can replace with just making sure system update has run and you have the latest java installed.

go get it here: http://beatseqr.com/downloads/roxor2_6.app.zip

Beatseqr #7

above: the first fully stuffed beatseqr circuit board, version 3.1

We’ve been radio silent for a while, but that’s only because we’ve been on overdrive getting ready for the bay area maker faire 2010. In addition to playing live gigs to further field test Beatseqr in the real world, we’ve also been ramping up our in-house production and prototyping capability in the form of a 24″ x 48″ CNC router. This new capability will (in theory) let us prototype new circuit and interface designs in house so we can move a lot more quickly to bake some concepts and roll out the products we want to use and think you’ll enjoy using too.

In the meantime, version 3.1 of the beatseqr circuit board is available. If you’re interested in a kit, there are a few options to discuss, so please fill out the form.

WAY too early to announce version 4

by

I preparation for our exhibit in the Maker Faire Bay Area 2010, I’m beginning to ramp up Beatseqr version 4. Behold, parts are starting to arrive:

Lots of sliders

My intention here is to offer kits, due to popular request.

I’m trying to take the plunge and follow in the smartly placed footsteps by our pals over at EMSL to learn and use the gEDA toolchain to help design and layout the next version of the Beatseqr pcb. It’s a bear, but I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.. I’m also looking into desktop CNC routers for several tasks in the fabrication process of parts. Um… I’m still building my case and doing my research, but you can take a peek at what I’m looking into here.

Maker Faire Bay Area 2010

by

Hey there, we just got confirmation that we’re going to be showing Beatseqr at the 2010 Bay Area Maker Faire! Woohoo! We’re going into deep planning mode this week, so more details will follow. In the meantime, go buy your ticket!

Also, we’re considering applying for maker faires in detroit and new york. Want us to come to those? post a comment up.

Announcements • Steppa v0.39

by

We’ve been working on the internals quite a bit. This revision deals with some of the newb-ily named OSC messages. This doesn’t handle all of the problems, but it does take care of the significant issues with the step matrix.

Steppa v0.39

  • changed the OSC namespace to be prefixed with /beatseqr … look in stepcomm if you need to change that
  • overhauled the (8 individually configured files) rosco-row system to the (1 file) roxor_row system
  • moved all velocity and midi note num processing to stepcomm

Announcements • Roxor 2.5

by

Roxor 2.5 is available, look for the link inline with this post. changes:

  • revamped the OSC namespace overall to include the "/beatseqr" prefix
  • also significantly revamped the /matrix OSC namespace. I was originally looking at mirroring the way the Max5 matrixctrl object takes in data, but decided against it in favor of a significantly easier /matrix/[row]/[column]/[step] value method. This made is a lot easier to revamp the way roxor handles the step data. But that’s another update for another post.
