Making Music with SunVox on PocketC.H.I.P.

Here at the office we have some really, really big ALTEC Lansing speakers we found online. We’ve had a bit of a tough time agreeing on what to blast. That was until we got SunVox working on PocketC.H.I.P. and gave it to Peter.

(Grab Peter’s CHIPTRON track and listen while you read!)

Peter is one of the NTC crew. He writes code, projects, and documentation, but he’s also an accomplished electronic musician. Having never used SunVox before, we gave him a PocketC.H.I.P. running the software. Now Peter is hooked and we finally can agree on office music!

SunVox is an intriguing electronic music application and tracker written by Alexander Zolotov. It gives you an entire studio in one place. No joke! I mean almost everything is there. From a full keyboard to digital theremin, Zoltov’s packed it all in one program. Tune your snares, modify sound characteristics on-the-fly, or simply grab someone else’s track and mix on it.

C.H.I.P. Community Coders Unite!

C.H.I.P.sters are porting the Adafruit GPIO library, the Johnny-Five robotics framework, and Gobot to C.H.I.P.!

We’re excited that the community is working to get these projects fully working on C.H.I.P.. All three make it easier for people to write software that use C.H.I.P. to drive motors, blink and dim LEDs, and interface with buttons. Simply put, they make building projects a faster and more fun process. 

You should note, these projects are all works in progress. If you’re interested in helping out, the best way to get involved is to hop on the BBS or reach out to the developer directly.
