Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control

midi_sequencer_with_hamster.jpg

This project was initially fueled by the desire to explore the MIDI protocol. It was decided that this would be accomplished by building a MIDI device. I also aimed to make something novel that had never been done before. But to balance out the unusual nature of its design, I wanted to also to create something that was very musical.After much consideration of different technical design aspects and contemplating various musical ideas, I was able to arrive at a project that would fulfill all of my musical and engineering goals.An intelligent MIDI sequencer was designed with hamster control.

My theory is that Levy came up with the term Hamster Control after a couple of Cornell U. bong sessions and reverse engineered everything else. Unfortunately the mp3 example is less like Richard D. James (what I was hoping for) and more like... something definately not created by hamsters.
