System
We invite you to create your own interactive product prototype, responsive display 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. It can also be used to obtain sensor data for (scientific) analysis. 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.. Voilà !
What you get
The I-CubeX System includes a Digitizer analog to MIDI interface, a GlobalAdapter for use world-wide, a SeeGreen actuator, 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 Digitizer with the editor, you will need a MIDI interface such as the MIDISport Uno. For a thumb-sized version, check out the microSystem. For a thumb-sized wireless version, check out the Wi-microSystem. To capture more of the real world check these sensors !
About the Digitizer
The Digitizer can operate in both stand alone mode (no need for a computer after configuring it) as well as host mode (use a computer to process the MIDI messages). In addition it can output voltages to control actuators for example. 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 Digitizer with the stand alone mode editor and it will remember the settings after power down. For more sensor mapping complexity, use the Digitizer in host mode in combination with a computer.
Software support
Stand alone mode is supported with a Windows editor and a MacOS editor. A (3rd party, limited editing capability) Linux editor allows you to edit a subset of all the I-CubeX features. 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 (Max for MacOS only). The editor manuals are included with the software as HTML 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 v4.1.
