Engineer & musician Nebojsa Petrovic (n3bsvid) shared this video demo for ‘Jack & Jill’ – a two-channel MIDI note generator.
“This is an overview and demo of a little project I completed recently called ‘Jack & Jill’,” says Petrovic. “It’s a hardware 2 channel improvisor and MIDI note generator quantized to musical scales.”
Technical Details:
Jack & Jill connected computer via MIDI. Ableton Live is running TAL Bassline 101 on channel 1 and Native Instruments Massive on channel 2.
Or, as Petrovic explains it, “Jack is sequencing the bassline and Jill is sequencing Massive.”
kickstarter ?
Very cool! Would you consider making the PCB design files available?
Nice! With a synchronization option it would be really cool.
This thing going to be for sale?
I like this a lot. Sync option, unquantized mode option would be cool. Also it would be very cool if you will put this up for sale
Very cool! Another vote for being able to purchase one.
Hey guys, thanks for the comments and thanks for sharing the video! I’m surprised and flattered by how many people have asked to purchase it!
I can’t promise anything too soon but I’m definitely looking into seeing if I can sell a small batch of these. I still have to figure out how to bundle it into an enclosure and test it a bit more to make sure it’s solid and bug free.
Geir: It’s already able to sync via external MIDI clock (I just haven’t demo’d it in that video). An unquantized mode is a cool idea, let me think of a way I can squeeze that in. I just worry that it would be too random otherwise and not very musical. But it’s worth a shot.
