The Stribe
| Location: Dark Room |
The Stribe is a touch-based music or video controller with no moving parts. It employs 8 touch-sensitive strips flanked by LED bar-graph displays. The controller is user-configurable, connects via standard USB, and is designed to be used with music interface software such as Max/MSP, Reaktor, and others. Via host software, the Stribe can control audio hardware and software via MIDI or OSC. The LED display can be computer controlled to respond to input from the sensors, or to independent software control, or both. The entire project is open source, meaning the circuits, firmware, and software are available on-line and are licensed under Creative Commons and GNU. Illustrated build instructions and a helpful Forum are also on-line. There is a small but growing community of Stribe developers who are building Stribes, and writing new firmware and software applications. The Stribe was inspired by Brian Crabtree's monome 40h project, and is an ideal companion to a monome button controller. Here is an article about the Stribe from CreateDigitalMusic.
