We invite you to create your own interactive installation art, responsive environment
or alternate musical controller ! The I-CubeX environment enables you to do just that.
It is designed to enable you to use sensors for controlling multimedia content.
With the I-CubeX, translate sensor signals with high resolution into MIDI messages.
Then, send these MIDI messages to a variety of MIDI devices (eg. synth modules) and/or
MIDI-aware software programs that control sound synthesis, graphical animation, video effects, etc.. Voilá !
What you get
The I-CubeX miniSystem includes a
miniDig analog to MIDI interface,
a miniGlobalAdapter for use world-wide,
a Turn sensor,
a MountingKit and a CDROM.
The CDROM contains the configuration editors for
MacOS and
Windows,
Max plugins
for host mode operation, as well as manuals and tutorials.
Please note
Please note that to configure the miniDig with the editor, you will need a MIDI interface
such as the MIDISport 1x1.
For more inputs and resolution, as well as the ability to control actuators, check out the
System.
For a palm-sized wireless version, check out the
Wi-miniSystem.
To capture more of the real world check these sensors !
About the miniDig
The miniDig can operate in both stand alone mode (no need for a computer after configuring it)
as well as host mode (use a computer with a MIDI interface to process the MIDI messages).
The beauty of stand alone mode is that it gives you more freedom to go where you want to go with
your I-CubeX setup because you have one less hardware device to worry about !
Configure the miniDig with the stand alone mode editor and it will remember the settings after power down.
For more sensor mapping complexity, use the miniDig in host mode in combination with a computer.
Software support
Stand alone mode is supported with a
Windows editor and a
MacOS editor.
Plug-ins for host mode are available for Max (Windows and
MacOS) and
jMax (Linux, Unix).
Check the download page for the latest releases of
I-CubeX software.
In either mode of operation, the I-CubeX can be used with any operating system as long as you run
software that can handle the I-CubeX system exclusive messages.
Further reading
For further reading on Sunday evening, enjoy the
iCube/oCube v2.0x tutorials.
The editor manuals are included with the software as PDF files.
You can also simply download
and install the Windows and/or MacOS editor software to try it out !
For the deepest understanding of the ultimate controller or in case you just want to hack your own
I-CubeX editor, check the MIDI implementation v4.4
