Dj NXT!

"SoundMachine is a 4 track 8-step drum sequencer that uses the LEGO Mindstorms NXT to scan a set of drum "notes" which are then played using Ableton Live. The NXT uses four colour sensors to detect the colour of 2x2 LEGO bricks as the plate is scanned in. A controller written in Processing interprets the colour pattern and sequences MIDI note messages to send to Ableton Live, which in turn plays the sounds you hear.

The music on the video was created by SoundMachine itself - music you can build"

This video shows how the plate is scanned and converted into notes in the GUI, which in turn sends MIDI commands to Ableton Live to play the music.

Wind up Gandalf arrives

Not sure if this is technic in some way but I'm really sure that's interesting and lovely in many ways.

"A wizard is never late with this motorized wagon. Give Gandalf some real horse power with the wind up motor."

The Sqiddster's  latest GBC module was an amazing NXT contraption, this time went to the opposite, an excellent mechanical contraption with only one motor,with this he has reached a place in the gbc builders hall of fame. ^^

Enjoy this original-and-inedit  4-step module:

GBC display at Lem 2012

This is a large GBC display with lots of creative modules and some quite nice reproductions of famous ones, for sure, it was a nice meeting.

Technical Stone Floor

Blake Foster has developed this cool and lovely stone floor texture using this technic pieces.

Depending on scale it will work fine for different uses, cobblestone, rough fabric... Nice example of how the Technic pieces have SNOT uses for regular building.
