Arc Rhythm Generator
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- The hardware is an arc by monome.org. The Arc is a USB device consisting of four high resolution encoders, each surrounded by 64 variable brightness LEDs. It is no longer made. I have no association with monome.org.
I created the software which can be downloaded at: github.com/str... publish a great deal of my work at github, all of which you can freely download. I am not a company and I'm not trying to sell you something.
Thank you for watching the video (from 2017). I create these videos because I like to share the things I make. If you want to know more about me and what I do, please read the About section at the top of / stretta

Hello, thank you for watching! Please read the description before commenting.
This is beautiful man, elegant is the right word I think. Also, you don't need to respond to the haters, the rest of us get it 🙂
bro it got recommended to me a bit late lol. i would buy it if i could
okay i'll check it out now!
more comments more people will see this in their recommendations :)
@stretta Github link in the description no longer works. Error 404.
This is exactly what a dj in a 1960’s sci fi movie set in 2024 would use
It does look quite 60s sci fi! I’ve seen so much new tech these days that has gone back to tactile input and it all looks so retro futuristic I love it
a chopped amen break would go crazy on this
Somebody make it happen and tag me
@@debnlinda Has someone done it?
ah shiz what is amen break like dont be too proud to say ok thank

Cool, displays Predator language too
Take your upvote and fuck off
@@futureshocked r/angryupvote, but it's on RUclips
Predator is into drum & bass but we wanted jungle.
Danny Glover likes this... 👍🏽
@@diracflux can't accept drum and bass, we need jungle i'm afraid.
6 years ago, and so mesmerizing to see and to use, how is it today ?
If you're referring to the hardware, I use it daily. I have lots of knobby-encoder boxes like the PC12 and the Twister, mostly when I'm looking for a 1:1 mapping of knob per function. For all other encoder operations, I prefer the precision and flexibility of the Arc. If you're referring to the software demonstrated in the video, I usually develop something, perform with it, and move on to the next item on my endless list of application ideas to explore.
i'm referring to both of them , is it on the market or just your own development for personal usage ? @@stretta
this is so badass! would have loved to get my hands on one of these and make a sick pseudo random (sounding) arpeggiator
It's beautiful watching these rhythms cycle round.
A very nice and original interface.
Agreed! Creative stuff, stretta!
Hi. Just wow, your design completely blew me away. I consult extensively on user experience and design of various sorts. I occasionally lecture on the subject, and would love to be able to use your video. We usually teach that truly intuitive is a noble but entirely unreachable goal, but one we still strive to approach. Your design makes me question that. Thanks for sharing.
No one's mentioned Propellerheads Figure app?
Was just about to but then read your comment. Such an amazing app that makes it easy for anyone to create some pretty cool beats even without musical talent.
One of the best producing tool out there, been using for years and its features/functions are so simple and unique
To busy taking California
FACTS (similar sound also)
does that even still exist ? damn that was the wankest thing id ever used ngl
In terms of UI this is one of the coolest machines I've ever seen and it could have practical uses once mastered but as for an average producer, this is super impractical lol. Though sometimes, some of the best music is impractical...all in all, I would buy this 100x over.
This is like a hardware version of the drum sequencer on the Reason Figure app on iOS.
I have spent more time making my own instantly expressive instruments with M4L/Ableton and my midi setup lately. I have found your channel at the perfect time. I get a lot of ideas from you page; thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Well!
It's too bad this is no longer made, I would absolutely love to have one, it fits me so perfectly.
I wouldn't use it with drum sounds though, I'd use tonic sound, instant polymeter is what I'd have. (At the most basic of implementation.)
I like the simplicity of it, but I like to go below the waves!
Hello! I really like the interface and this interesting control scheme. I had a question about the density control. I'm curious exactly how the dial is manipulated to generate the rhythm. You said it was not random, and I struggled to parse through the documents on your github to find my answer . So I'm curious still about how exactly the input works, like if you're pressing top down on the dial, if it's reading tactile input on the sides, or just reading the rotation change, or if there's a joystick like input component? Then also, what's determining the placement of the notes as the density is increased? For example, could I subdivide the 360 degrees of measure with exactly "n" equidistant notes, and how?
Thank you, and thank you for continuing to share.
Make this as a hardware CV generator
Yes please
Seconded
agreed
this was 6 years ago. are you still using the same hardware? was there a newer or different model that you might recommend? either way, thanks for sharing this software!
ok, i need to stop..
i started developing some motion sickness.. 😅
this is awesome. could it send triggers or CV to analog devices?
No one realizing that this is a 6yo video amazes me
This is a really neat idea for a drum machine and the physical implementation of it is done really well. The machining looks great and the LED arrays (I think thats what they are) are spot on. It's all very aesthetically pleasing, minimalistic but very functional
The github page is gone :((((
I want this for Ansible so bad
This thing is super cool
Would love to hear an unquantised version!
you wouldnt
It would just be various tracks each at a different BPM, an uninteresting out-of-tune mess.
Very useful for IDM 😎
So from what I'm gathering after watching this is that spinning the knob controls both the density and playing speed? How will the knob know which you're trying to control? Seems finnicky, or maybe there's some nuance which wasn't explained in the video. Either way, interesting concept.
I feel like Meshuggah wrote their songs with a tool similar to yours 😂
What is absolutely crazy is I'm a doppelganger of Jens Kidman, like, we must be related.
Me trying to figure out the new washing machine:
The generator also generates different note velocities, right?
in "some way" yes, u can. You got static and mappable velo.
Can this be operated without Ableton Live? Any other DAWs or software/hardware synths work with this? Thanks in advance!
6 years ago
I can't stop staring at it!
One Video, Instant Sub. Hyper creative.
New sub!!
This is 100% something I could see Aphex Twin use for a liveset
"how to make music on a washing machine"
Bro, am i the only one who recognized the washing machine circle? 💀
Top 10 awesome pieces of equipment I will never touch:
I NEED it.
I don't know why. But even youtube says I do
What gave you the design inspiration to create this device this way? How did you learn how to make things like this?
So someone actually built the Mandachord from Warframe...
I'd like it if you could click each button in to regenerate the randomness for each button
Don't give Aphex Twin more funny ideas
Uber Cool , nice to see your vids again
I adore how retrofuturistic this device is. It really does look out of the 70s taking place in 2044. I wish you the best of luck on your projects.
I don't know, but these rhythms don't sound danceable. I'll wait for AudioPilz to rate it
How did I miss this device?!?
Anyone got a spare? Would love to play...
Nice piece of egineering ! Looks very smooth to use... I can see sometimes that it doesn't trigger the note when the LED hit the mark, but it's interesting. I just don't really see the art in it, musically speaking...
i want to get my hands on this how do i buy it and is it able to be runned on reaper the softwere im using for making music
I didn't quite get why some of the beats are missed even though they intersect the 12 oclock mark.
I feel really dumb, but how do you change/add the pattern and then start it? To me it just looks like you're rotating the dial
why would the YT algorithm tease me with something so fucking cool from 6 years ago 😭
Great! it would be nice to provide a direct mode with a grid of 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/16
Does it come with a Thom Yorke dancing tutorial?
Imagine putting this on the stove or microwave, how cool would it be listening to some sick beat while you wait for your food?
Top of the dials need tap programming
Idk why this was recommended to me but I think that I need one
It’s so annoying when you come across some thing super cool, only to discover it is years old and not available..!
the twelve hour mark would be so much cooler with the different color imo, otherwise really nice!
I would have no idea how to use this effectively, but it’s awesome.
This looks like how a sci-fi Dj would be like
Drummers have been losing their jobs lately
i would unironically buy something like this
could there be a way to adjust the interval so you can have more than every 16th note play, or even remove the note alignment requirement alltogether?
Beautiful interface
I don't understand if the knobs really physically rotate or not and if they do, do they get slower over time or is there a motor that keeps them at the same speed?
What I'm seeing is a version that fits in the CD tray of a computer tower
put the bong down then shut up and take my money
aphex twin gone insane just after watching this
love it
wanna recreate
Really feel like the machine Stephan Bodzin have
This is pretty awesome
You must give one of these to Thom Yorke to play with!
wait so the dempo can be changed on eath of them so that poly rythems and that are un even patterns???
3:00 Just one synth short of Axel F
2:59 got scared bc I thought he was starting to rickroll us
looks like my washing mashine controls
i will never understand why there are no humans anymore
I think it sounds quite a bit like the Terraria OST
@streta, the link to github is wrong!
Nothing has made me want an Arc controller until right now. Holy crap, this is beautiful.
I was wondering where my extension cord went
hardware version of the old propellor-heads app
Neat. Aesthetically pleasing. Daft Punk would have loved this
知らないパターンに出会えるかも
those look like washing machine knobs
this is really good for lazy people like me
The autechre dial?
Was thinking the same
Shmexy!!! was it ever released?
it should have a way to auto tempo sync each one
ye would go crazy on this
Aphex Twin II... here we come.. :)
Rad. Best mini active controller I've seen. I I watch altogether to many videos
Really cool project
Sounds like a Radiohead song.
super cool!
Make me two please and thank you
2:06 Aphex Twin has entered the chat
so cool its like the mandachord
This is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!
