Designed by San Diego artist Christopher Schaie and milled on his ShopBot CNC robot to be installed, with a glass dome on one side, to serve as the peephole in a nautical-themed door he is creating for his studio. Details, including DXF files, in this thread on the ShopBot forum.
Our project is an open source, Arduino Mega-based computer interface and max/msp– based MIDI sequencer. You can find all kinds of information about it at beatseqr.com, but the ten-second pitch goes like this: Drum machines are fun to use because the interface is intuitive, but they only make the sounds they know how to make.
