First live performance of the Nintendo DSi Music product “Rhythm Core Alpha”
This is the first live performance of the Nintendo DSi Music product “Rhythm Core Alpha”, performed live at the Kulak’s Woodshed open-mike night in April 2010.
All the music being played is being created live in front of the audience. Even the tune is written on the spot.
What’s unique about this application is that it emphasizes real-time production. Sound playback never stops during editing. The crowded interface packs some fairly powerful-looking features:
- A Drum Grid with 12 tracks x 64 beats x 122 sounds
- A Note Grid with 8 tracks x 64 beats x 166 sounds
- A Solo Mode that places six octaves of notes onscreen for playing
- A 1000-step pattern mode with chord, drum, and note modes, plus looping
- 7 velocity levels for everything (okay, not a lot, but that provides simple velocity control)
- Quite-nice scale mapping (see screenshots) to keep you in tune – and yes, it’s also possible to override them
See the video demonstrations below.
Pricing is 500 Nintendo Points, or US$5. Naturally, you’ll need to have a DSiWare-capable handheld in a location with access to the store, but assuming you’ve got a newer model, this is much easier than the homebrew route, and pricing is similar to iOS apps.

Circuit bending using a Super Nintendo coupled with a Bliptronic 5000.
I guess these are even worse nerds
Wii Nunchuck controlled Korg Monotron synthesizer
This is nice – Wii Nunchuck controlled Korg Monotron synthesizer:
My second attempt in circuit bending the monotron. You can control the monotron with Nunchuk’s accelerometer and analog stick. I used todbot’s WiiChuck adaptor to connect the Nunchuk to the Arduino. http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9281
The WiiChuck Adapter is a small PCB that is designed to be inserted into the connector of a Nintendo Wii Nunchuck to provide access to all 4 wires of the remote. The power, ground and two-wire interface of the Nunchuck are all broken out to a 4-pin 0.1″ pitch header.
Nintendo plays Electroplankton
This is really cool, make sure to check it out. Orginally posted by RanKirlian.

Nintendo plays Electroplankton Lumiloop over the XP filter module, while a Doepfer oscillator does first a drone and later a sort sequence through the Xtreme filter. The result gets some delay with kaoss pad 3 and then is recorded to minidisc.
