KP3-nome
I have written a patch in Max\MSP, to allow my Korg Kaoss Pad KP3 to behave somewhat in the manner of a monome.
This has been done before by others (salamanderanagram, and chinkial). This is what I've come up with though.
The patch has instructions when you open it, but must be modified to fit your own specific needs.
Check it out here.

Electronic Glockenspiel!!
My current major project, the electronic glockenspiel (I need a better name for it), is in deeply in progress as you can see here:
and a close-up here:
I remade the pickups which are now simply PC board conderser mics, only one of which is working, as the other needs a battery still. There is much less noise, almost none! and everything sounds better. BUT it picks up background noise more :( Oh well, I suppose there's always trade-offs.
Also, I've been getting into high gear on the Max patch that goes along with it, without which, this would just be a lame old amplified glockenspiel.
But the exciting news is that I'm actually going to present this to real live people. This Thursday (December 11th) at "Handmade Music", hosted at 3rd Ward Artist Facility in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. Here's a description from Create Digital Music:
So this should be neat, I'll be bringing my high-tech glockenspiel and fancy Max/MSP patch to go along with it, as well as a couple other things I have in progress.

Handmade Music, the regular series of DIY music tech parties CDM hosts with Etsy.com and Make Magazine in New York, is back. And it’s back in a big way: the event has a new home in Bushwick and will be held on an actual schedule monthly. The first event is next Thursday, December 11. After the December debut, it’ll be every third Thursday of the month, starting with January 15, 2009. We’ve got a spacious, new home at the hip galleries and workshops of 3rd Ward in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
