250a Graphics Lab

Lab 6: Graphics
See this quarter's schedule for due dates.

For this lab you need your MaxKit, with Satellite CCRMA.

Setting Up Software

• Use the usual procedure (see described before) to power up Satellite CCRMA and login as the user ccrma with the password temppwd.

• Make an empty directory for lab3 using

mkdir ~/lab3

• Enter the lab3 directory by typing

cd ~/lab3

• Download the first files for the lab using

wget https://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/250a/labs/lab3.zip

• Unzip lab3 three with

unzip lab3.zip

Make A Musical Interaction

As the final main deliverable of the lab, you should cause your Satellite CCRMA kit make some sound that depends on how you manipulate the sensors. For example, you could make a musical instrument, a music controller, a mock-up sound art installation, or some other sonic interaction. Now that you have had some experience synthesizing sound, your sound synthesis patch should involve more than just a few osc~s. Think about what you want to design before you get started.

For your musical interaction, you can write your own firmware, or you can use Firmata. If you choose to use Firmata, then you need to re-flash Firmata to the Arduino. (See instructions from Lab 2.)
