New browser based controller for modular synths

March 17, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized 

Patchwerk is a new web browser-based application that lets you control a massive modular synthesizer, housed at MIT, and hear the results:

Patchwerk lets you control a massive analog synthesizer from your browser, and streams the results back to you and everyone connected. The interface on this site is linked to a physical synth cabinet connected to the world’s largest homemade modular synth, currently housed at the MIT Museum.

Turn a knob here, and Patchwerk will turn a motorized knob on the cabinet. If someone at the Museum grabs a knob, you’ll see it turn too.

The synth that you can control is the giant DIY modular synthesizer of Joe Paradiso:
