Speaking of Circuit Bending

Check out these 2 awesome YouTube videos - both are of a new program for your Nintendo DS called DScratch, which runs under the new Protein engine. Not only does it allow you to use the touchscreen to mess with the audio, it sends MIDI over WiFi, allowing you to connect it up to a larger audio sequencer or control lights and other equipment when you’re VJing.
Interested in it? Download the file and try it out. But you’ll need more then that file and a Nintendo DS, you’ll also need Revolution 4 DS, which is a Slot 1 cartridge with a Micro SD slot builtin. It lets you ‘unlock’ your DS and allows it to run homebrew applications as well as making it oh-so-simple to transfer files to and from the device. I know what I’m getting next - I always wanted to get into it, and here’s a great way to do it!
The next stop? Add midi to the Wii Guitar Hero axe!
