Grumpy New Year to everyone.

Testing Bluetooth LE MIDI. ESP32 CYD sending notes to my Android phone. It doesn't work on iOS for some reason. But okay on the Mac. #esp32 #cyd #bluetoothmidi #android #microcontroller

Probably a good time to start integrating ESP32 and Arduino control into TouchDesigner.

Hello World on the ESP32 CYD with LVGL. Followed a tutorial from Random Nerd Tutorials using Arduino IDE. Managed to port it to VSCode with some adjustments. #esp32 #cyd #arduino #vscode #microcontroller

This is an expansion of the MIDI visualizer project. This time a 48-note version, an optimized TD network, and a slightly different visual presentation. MIDI is sent by the iPad and interpreted by TouchDesigner on the laptop. This gives gas burner vibes and looks better in 60fps. #touchdesigner #3d

Ring xmas ring, carol is king? Proof of concept of the MIDI visualizer project I'm working on. MIDI is sent by the iPad and interpreted by TouchDesigner on the laptop. This is the basic 24-note version. #touchdesigner #audioreactive #audiovisualart #visualizer #christmas

Also got another dev kit: my 3rd ESP32 this time with a touch screen. You can tell what I'll be doing mainly for 2026. #esp32 #embedded #iot #arduino #controlsystem

Anybody here into reel to reel? Chanced upon this open reel splicing kit for cheap in Laz. Usually sells for above 1k, got it for less than 500. Now I will be able to repair and audition the rest of the vintage reels in my stash. #openreel #reeltoreel

Couldn't compile C in VSCode, so sticking to Arduino and MicroPython for now.

Hello World indeed! Successful sent a basic sketch from the Arduino IDE. #raspberrypi #rp2040 #waveshare #pizero #arduino

Video output working. I used the demo uf2 for DVI. #raspberrypi #waveshare #pizero #rp2040

Got a Waveshare PiZero to try Micropython and video output and noticed a port that's new to me. #raspberrypi #rp2040 #pizero #micropython

Do you think TPE negotiation and flirting can mix?

Brewed coffee. Cinnamon. Cocoa. Muscovado. Pinch of salt.

Real-time performance of TouchDesigner 2020 Experimental on a 2011 Mac Mini. Two cascading feedback networks creating a brush fire effect. General subject movement affects the direction of the trails. #touchdesigner #livevisuals #interactiveart #computervision #opticalflow #oldmac #macmini

For some strange reason, I can't make my webcams work in TouchDesigner 2020/21 on the Mac mini 2018.

Testing 3 cameras on the 2011 Mac Mini running TouchDesigner 2020 Experimental. There's a 3sec lag on the 2 higher res cams. If this machine dies while I'm doing the project, I won't regret it. Haha. #touchdesigner #livevisuals #audiovisual #audiovisualart #interactivevideo #interactiveart #oldmac

Here's a photo of my handsome ginger tabby Naranja. Happy Caturday. #pet #cats #tabbycat #gingercat #rescuecat #puspin #caturday

Welcome to the mid-80s. Here's an electropop doodle I did this morning. What artists do you hear? 🎶🤔 Note: Bad mix though. I used a headset. #flstudio #musicproducer #electro #electronic #electropop

Here's a screen grab of a webcam to point cloud test. #flstudio #pointcloud #videosynth

I'm enjoying this and it looks great. Just need time to learn to automate the transitions and effects better. Next up is to use camera. #visualizer #videosynth #audioreactive #audiovisual #glitch

New/old video synth. I should have checked sooner. It's now usable since it's finally using the GPU. Forgive the stupid audio. This was a scratch project. :) #soundreactive #visualizer #livevisuals

I don't know the context of this post in alltd.org. They embedded video my video and put some text about scammers selling ripped off TouchDesigner tutorials. Am I being accused of passing things as my own? #alltd #touchdesigner @touchdesigner.bsky.social alltd.org/uploader/ntrdr

Optimizing the configuration of one of my TD visualizers to lessen audio latency. #touchdesigner #livevisuals #audiovisual #audioreactive #soundreactive #generativeart #visualizer

My simple rig last Friday at our FREQUENCY gig in Vinyl On Vinyl Gallery. #touchdesigner #digitakt #aum

Vinyl On Vinyl and Synthicide present FREQUENCY Featuring Children of Cathode Ray Kurdapyo KDBY NTRDR Trobol Kontrol FREQUENCY is the performative celebration of the ongoing Vinyl On Vinyl exhibit SO TELL ME WHERE IT HERTZ.

Kinect 2 won't work on my laptop. Mic array resets endlessly. Works ok on desktop.

Jumping Jello! Another audio-reactive experiment using POPs in TouchDesigner. Not exactly what I wanted to create but it looks interesting enough to share. #touchdesigner #livevisuals #audiovisual #audioreactive #generativeart #visualizer #neworder

AI creation tools are getting scarily good. #gaycinema www.instagram.com/reel/DOtLl8r...

I'm quite proud of this. It's my own visualizer / audio-reactive sketch using POPs. Can't wait for the 2025 version of TouchDesigner. Best with beats, single instruments or vocals. #touchdesigner #livevisuals #audiovisual #audiovisualart #audioreactive #neworder #visualizer #generativeart

Here's an Elekktronaut POPs experiment updated to be audio-reactive, and colored appropriately in reference to the album it came from. #touchdesigner #livevisuals #audiovisual #audioreactive #neworder

Good lighting makes even the simplest rigs look sophisticated. This is another experiment using POPs in TouchDesigner. This time basic 3D instancing with light, bloom and shadows. #touchdesigner #3d #pops #creativecoding #generativeart

Soft shadows in TouchDesigner. Will try some simple 3D stuff using POPs in the coming days. #touchdesigner #pops #3d #creativecoding

Here's my first simple experiment using POPs in TouchDesigner. I wanted to create the illusion of ripples and Moiré like patterns using a rotating sphere. #touchdesigner #moiré #ripples

My little corner at our art show. #arduino #raspberrypi #diyinstrument #computervision #diy

Ingress done. Three person art show starts tomorrow.

First time I'll use NTRDR for an art show. Info soon. 👾

Work area at the moment. DIY keeps me sane and grounded at the moment (aside from the kitties). Currently assembling the band pass filter circuits. #arduino #diy #diyinstrument #diysynth #haphephobic #gesturecontrol

I joined the protests at Luneta and EDSA last Sunday, 21st September. It coincided with the anniversary of the declaration of martial law by Marcos Sr in 1972.

Haphephobic Instruments APP002 & APP003. Moan and Squeal. Quick demo, dry and with modverb. #arduino

Haphephobic Instruments APP005 & APP006. Quick, uninspired demo. Kick and punch. #arduino

Deleted "the apps." Too much distraction and frustration.

Real-time speed demo of the "Voyeuristic Machine." Looks good enough to showcase, I think. I will try another approach and see if I can improve the performance on the ancient Raspberry Pi 3B. #raspberrypi #opencv #yolo #machinelearning #computervision #python

Revisited old computer vision projects. This is feature recognition in Python using OpenCV in Windows. I'll try the same code in the Raspberry Pi 3b. Runs in the Mac with similar (slow) performance.
