Well after a traumatic few days I have sadly reached the end of my sound module
though it did have a happy ending and I performed my project without a hitch. I thought it was doomed after I managed to break 4 of my sensors last night in preperation and had to run out and buy a soldering iron >.<
I really felt I had achieved something today, it just a shame it is over as there is so much more I would love to do with this project that I will probably never get the chance to acheive. All that is left to do is hand in my documentation tomorrow before I head off to Telford to film my 4D cosplay project,.

I am currently  in the project lab slowly composing myself after the disaster, i checked my patch a few weeks ago and it work fine I changed some functionality and wanted to hear what my new samples sounded like and ow it all iunteracted. I came into the lab and the computer hooked up to the i cube seems to have blown a power supply or fuse, well it wasn’t working. i tried the other mac to see if I could get the i cube working but I couldn’t seem to work it out. I emailed Dan and tried to contact Benji to see if it can be resolved in the next day or so (Dead line is Thursday)…..
I have slowly thinking things through, if I can’t get an icube working before Thursday mabe I can create the same effect virtually then I have two ways. If i can try and figure out someway of using the mouse pointer as a light source then I could recreate it all virtually.

For the last week I have been finishing off the coding which is all done now. It has all been tidied into sub patches and I have the random drunk function working a treat I am taking it to the lab for more testing tomorrow to see how I can improve the functionality now the basics are working. I have also been creating my samples using live and have a few more to create. I have tried to make it so that the samples are representative of the orchestral groups to provide a varied composition. I also have to sort out the casing for my project which shouldnt be too hard fingers crossed.

I have decided now to have 16 sensors each with 3 sound samples attached to them and have them in a game of life arrangement where each cell is affected by the cells that came before it and surround it. Across the surface from top left to bottom right they will have different timbres of samples from strings to brass and more percussive samples at the bottom right. I have made some good progress on the patch so far, I am working on one versitile patch which can then be cloned for all the other sensors. I am currently working out the rules for the relationships between sensors, keeping it simple to begin with then after getting that version working I can keep adding to the functionality.
