Tutorials and more OSC
Hello there,
I wrote a couple of tutorials that you can read in Millumin’s lab.
I also extended the OSC support. You can now map with your iPhone or your iPad via TouchOSC. Have a look to this short video :
In the end, I created Monomal, an experimental app to plug your Monome with Millumin.
This week, I planned to work on improving stability. So now, time to chase bugs !

Wondering what’s coming next, but don’t dare to ask ? Here is a smell :
Warp layer
Audio routing and level (per layer)

OSC and ArtNet support
Cue points for the timeline

When the Millumin's beta will be released ?
Despite I’m working very hard on Millumin, I’m a bit late. So instead of july, Millumin’s beta will be released on August 24th, 2011. I know a lot of people can’t wait, but I definitly want to release something of quality. Which platform will be supported ? I decided to focus my effort on Mac first. Once I’d stabilize the Mac version, I’ll work on the...

My last readings
Hello.
Recently (and all of my life), I’ve read so interesting books. I couldn’t resist to share them with you :
Philosophy and life of Gunpei Yokoi What a touching book. My favorite. The philosophy of this humble guy, “Lateral thinking with withered technology”, inspired me so much. Additionally, he co-created Mario with Miyamoto, invented the GameBoy,...

MadMapper is out !
MadMapper, the video mapping software, just went out. I mean right now ! I had a try, and I can say that it’s pretty easy to use (despite I think the ergonomics could be improved a bit). It took me 5 minutes to dive in it, and the blue-and-gray interface is pleasant :
As I’m the maker of Millumin, I could say that I’m sad, scared, or furious, because Millumin and...
My first weapon : PAPER !
Sometimes, humans (like you and me) got ideas ! When the magic happens, I grab some paper and start sketching something …
Any piece of paper can do the job, even an envelope. Don’t waste your time buying the greatest sketchbook : SKETCH-SKETCH-SKETCH, that’s all !
I called this whole thing : early paper prototyping.
Here is some very-early prototypes of...
