PS2501 – dealing with KP2 HOLD button

Controlling the HOLD button of the KP2 through MIDI is unfortunately not possible. But as I’m using an Arduino to generate the MIDI messages, why not to use it for controlling the HOLD button.
That’s when the photocoupler PS2501 comes in handy. Two pins (3 and 4, the transistor) goes to the two pins of the HOLD button of the KP2 (order matters, just try) and the two others (1 and 2, the LED) to the Arduino (one to the ground and one to a digital pin that will be the control pin).
The HOLD is switched on or off on a rising edge. Changing the program always switches HOLD off. So each time a MIDI message changes the program, one must put the control digital pin to HIGH, wait a bit, and finally put the digital pin to LOW (to switch HOLD on). This is to ensure that the next time we put the digital pin to HIGH it will result in a rising edge.
The advantage of using a photocoupler is that there are only two connections needed to the KP2 (no ground connection needed) and it is easier and smaller than a relay.

NJL7502

The NJL7502 a pretty nice and cheap phototransistor (2 for 100yens) that I’m using for my modular light-sensitive projection screen that is the instrument used in the project Kousenjuu with Y. Fuyama.
As a transistor, it can be used in switch or active mode. Used in active mode with a resistance of about 47K, it will give you the full range between 0 and Vs.
The advantage over a photoresistance is that it is actually cheaper and the wavelength response is very close to the one of the human eye. Moreover, it can be used as a switch too.

HK-3

Only three days before leaving for Hong-Kong. Everything is working quite well, just  trying to make things as easy as possible to setup once there, especially for the MILK+ performance. I’ve decided to use four sensors, two flex sensors and two pressure sensors, to measure sexual arousal. I’ll have some visualizations on an oscilloscope that will be controlled by a processing sketch that will at the same time send some OSC messages to a pure data patch. I’ve been playing with the superformula for the visualization and it’s  quite fun.
Some links:  dildonics (flickr), fun with an oscilloscope (flickr) and “a series of controversial dildonics“.

Techno(sexual)Bodies – part 2

Information about the Techno(sexual)Bodies exhibition/performance are now available on the site the gallery Videotage.

I will be present for the performance on 27th March and do some (sex)noise in addition to the music by Sin:Ned. Unfortunately, I won’t be in HK for the opening of the exhibition or the exhibition itself. That’s a shame given the wonderful artists whose works will be shown !
