Glass Beatstation: An open source mobile and modular musical interface
for Linux machines and musicians that don’t know how to use Linux
As a self-taught/amateur programmer, I was able to use open source
programs to start building the versatile music workstation I’ve long
dreamed of. The fact that I have been able to get this project
functional to any degree is a great credit to the FLO (Free/Libre/Open
Source) community. In the process I’ve learned about many of the
benefits and learning curves of FLO hardware and software. I primarily
used Python, Open-Stage-Control, Sooperlooper, Ardour, Puredata and the
Kxstudio repositories, and have iterated an extra portable version of
the project on raspberry pi. I will share the perspectives I have gained
in the process how I was able to receive AND share knowledge with Linux
users both new and experienced alike. Because of this, I’ve learned much
about bridging the gap between those people already familiar with
Linux/FLO technology, and those who aren’t familiar – yet.
Athan Spathas teaches robotics to kids and supports open source software
however he can: one is as likely to find him performing on his linux
based portable studio as much as find him performing on it, doing demos,
or educating others about the benefits of open source technology.
ATTENTION! Thanks to a new security policy, attendees will need to enter
through the 1900 SW 4th entrance by 8PM, just North of the 1930 SW 4th
entrance adjacent to Hawaiian Express, formerly Taco Del Mar:
