Kristian Nymoen have updated the Jamoma modules for recording and playing back GDIF data in Max 5. The modules are based on the FTM library (beta 12, 13-15 does not work), and can be downloaded here.

We have also made available three use cases in the (soon to be expanded) fourMs database: simple mouse recording, sound saber and a short piano example. See the video below for a quick demonstration of how it works:

Lab wiki

We have set up a new wiki for the fourMs lab. It is mainly intended as a place for tutorials and various tricks and tips in using the software and hardware systems available. Hopefully, the wiki can also be useful for other researchers in the field.

On the news

A journalist from the national broadcaster NRK came to our opening on Friday, and he made a story which was shown on the “cultural news” Friday night. The clip can be seen here (in Norwegian). Below is an image of Rolf Inge Godøy being interviewed before the opening.

Open lab

We have slowly been moving into our new lab spaces over the last weeks. The official opening of the labs is scheduled for Friday 26 September, but we had a pre-opening “Open lab” for the new music students last week, and here are some of the pictures research coordinator Anne Cathrine Wesnes shot during the presentation.

Here I am telling the students a little about our new research group, and showing the main room:
