A couple classes coming up @ LEMUR in NYC – these are one of the few places to learn these things in person, everyone who has taken these classes that I know really enjoyed them.

Building MIDI Music & Video Controllers: Creating a Sensor Instrument with MidiTron
Tue-Thu, Oct 9-11, 6:30-9:30 pm
Instructor: Leif Krinkle

Imagine waving your hand and having an orchestra at your fingertips or tapping on a surface to explore a video archive. This is all possible through the use of MIDI and sensor-based technology. In three sessions, you will design and build a controller to create your art with the easy-to-use MidiTron interface (http://miditron.com).

Emphasis will be on hands-on learning. Basic electronics and Max/MSP/Jitter (http://cycling74.com/products/maxmsp) programming will also be covered. No previous knowledge of electronics, sensors or programming is assumed. Background information will be covered and the bulk of the class will be focused on building a working controller that you will take home and begin to create with. Examples of previous project ideas include a shoe that creates notes for each step and a glove that determines lighting cues in a theatrical performance. This is of interest to Artists, Musicians, Dancers, Actors, Engineers, Programmers, Lighting, Sound and Graphic Designers and others.

Cost: $495 including MidiTron & sensors

Microcontroller Progamming for Artists: Introduction to the Arduino System
Mon-Wed, Oct 1-3, 6:30-9:30 pm
Instructor: Roberto Osorio-Goenaga

Have you ever wanted to build a robot or an interactive art installation? Have you ever wondered how LEDs, sensors and motors work? Through collaborative exercises and the development of a final project you will learn how to program and prototype with an Arduino microcontroller (http://arduino.cc). This class is geared towards beginners, and no prior knowledge of electronics or programming is required.

This class will demonstrate programming and electronics basics through hands-on microcontroller projects. You will learn digital and analog input and output techniques for controlling motors and interpreting sensors, as well as the programming skills necessary to use these components effectively. We will also explore advanced concepts in interface, motion and display based on student interest. By the end of this class students will have a firm understanding of how microcontrollers, sensors and actuators work and how to utilize these tools in their own creative projects.

Cost: $375 including Arduino board & materials

    Hmmm… I do think an individual skipped the actual intent regarding this write-up (or We failed to stumble through intention apparent which can be most likely more likely)

    Is it possible to get this any universal software package so iPad 2 people may take good thing about the more expensive monitor?

    I actually tried out that again today along with even though it proved helpful, it was a little while until for a long time to be able to down load this. (2 minutes)

    Well… In my opinion you actually neglected typically the intention associated with the posting (or My spouse and i don’t the actual intention clear and that is possibly considerably more likely)
