Looking at the OMX-27 code to figure out how the M8 handles MIDI controls. If anyone knows the MIDI implementation to launch clips from the M8, hit me up. Trying to get a Norns script going.

I wrote a tutorial for a zine that never came to fruition; decided to throw it on the blog. It's meant to be a beginner-friendly guide to making bleeps/bloops with MIDI.

I wrote a blog post about converting chord progressions stored as MIDI files into Ripchord presets. In it, I share hundreds of free Ripchord presets à la the SHLD MIDI Chord Pack. Enjoy!

I made a web application for sending MIDI system exclusive (SysEx) files to devices from browsers. It's free and open source.
