See & edit iTunes ratings in the Macintosh status menu bar!
Okay, I admit, I love tidy playlists and try to keep my iTunes track ratings quite accurate, so that I can always enjoy my intelligent playlists. There has been a tool called iTunesRatings by Matthew Handley, which disappeared some years ago. Because I think this was a very nice application, I spent some hours programming my own app, …
ACProcessorSuite is a suite of custom plugins for Apple’s Quartz Composer, a realtime visual programming environment that comes free with Mac OS X (Developer Tools). Now updated for Mac OS X 10.6. Snow Leopard! The main two plugins are – ACPlotter, an Oscillator-like line renderer, that plots a series of values over time – and ACSignalEnhancer that provides various smoothing and scaling algorithms to improve (for example) incoming …
ACTimer is a small and probably quite useless Desktop Application for Mac OS X 10.5. or higher. It resides in the Menu Bar and has three different modes: the time (eg: DD hh:mm), a timer (eg: mm:ss) or a countdown (eg: mm:ss), which has an alarm (select your favorite system sound).
Additionally, it can display the time on a floating window on the desktop (“Always On Top” or “Desktop Icon Level”). The …

midimouse 0.6. is on the way! Ready compiled for IntelMacs and a fresh funky QuartzComposer Interface:
midimouse is a small, easy-to-use and very simple program. It sends MIDI-controller-messages (CC) by moving the mouse over its (resizeable) window. While moving the mouse (with or without mouseDown) over the X-/Y-axxis, each axxis sends a CC, so you might send values within up to 4 configurable Controllers.
The default CC’s are:

After over two years development, I am very proud to present a freely available DIY-SensorBox that provides more features than any other available device for incredible low costs! The new version of the ACSensorizer can produce harmonized and quantized MIDI-Notes or Controller Messages from connected sensors like infrared distance sensors, pressure pads, ribbon-controllers, breath-pressure-sensors, pots, whatever you can think of…
It provides an auto-calibration helper, patch storage, 20 built-in musical …
[multilanguage entry] kII (Kempelen 2.0) is a voice-topological interface for gestural navigation in linguistic space. The hand serves as the speech organ during the articulation process.
The device is operated by means of the sensory determination of the opened state of both hands, their position in space, their relative height, and other parameters which are assigned to the jaw and tongue position in the mouth as well as to pitch and rhythm.

I just released an application interface “kII” to control the SpeakJet, an integrated robot-voice soundchip from Magnevation, by MIDI.
Some of the features include Jaw-/Tongue-Position Control, Note-pitched voicings, subtractive synthesis built up with the SpeakJet’s five oscillators as well as a small integrated harmonizer module. You can set up a base note and a scale and have therefore absolute control!
kII stands for “Kempelen Two”: Baron Wolfang von Kempelen …
m5 sensorizer is an MBHP/MIOS (midibox.org) project to enable processing of sensorized data by Midi.
As I am working with applications and hardware like this since several years, this is the first project I am releasing as open source* together with detailed building instructions using the MidiBox Hardware Platfom (MBHP) of Thorsten Klose and the midibox.org community.
You can find the source code and a fully detailed description along …

A small binary clock.
This is rather an experiment in programming excercises than a useful program… nevertheless, it’s a nice desktop window to watch – and hey: it’s showing the time!
The hours are shown left, the minutes in the middle and the seconds to the right. you can read the clock by adding the values of the swatches from top to bottom for each row. The swatches …
