DS homebrew announcements > dsmcu - wireless mix controller

#158678 - dub3000 - Mon Jun 16, 2008 2:23 pm

dsmcu implements the most important parts of the MCU mix protocol. it talks to audio workstation software (mainly tested with Reaper PC + allegedly Mac, may possibly work with other apps) over WIFI via DSMI.

i.e. mix + record arm from your couch. or the hallway. kinda.

instructions (important!): http://remaincalm.org/?p=17

more info on the linked pages. main thing that needs to change is the channel selection/solo/mute etc, and some graphics refactoring (it's really clumsy at the moment). i've been meaning to do a lot more work on this before doing a proper announcement, but i've been really busy (and it's working okay anyway), so treat this as a technology preview/concept app.

big thanks to tobw for the DSMI library!

haven't tried this yet, but looks great. thanks for making this! very nice design too, i appreciate that you didn't overlook the UI.

WhiteTie, who helped out with the Reaper design, helped me out with the UI elements on that a LOT.

It's going to change a lot in the future, though - it looks great but there are a few things that aren't really ergonomic.

I just bought myself a new DS today (PINK! hahahaha!) so hopefully having a DS that's operating correctly will spur me into action and get it working a bit nicer.
