Ok, I've got a few friends who are epileptic and who I think would really enjoy algoraves except I daren't invite them because of the prevalence of flashing lights.

Visuals are live coded, so we can't just ask people not to make dramatic blinks, as live coding is inherently serendipitous, with unexpected results. Flashes are inevitable at the point of the HDMI output port.

However, I wonder if there might be additional options to increase accessibility. Our normal practice is to plug directly into a projector, but I think we could have an intermediate filter that detects the kind of value changes that are like to trigger a seizure and can fade them more slowly. Does something like this exist off the shelf?

Is there a way to add this kind of filter to web based languages so web pages can optionally operate in a safe mode?

I'm not saying "no strobes ever" but it would be extremely good of we could say "no strobes sometimes."

Switch Angel doing their thing with the algorave while Lofi SciFi brings the visuals.

I feel 19 again when I see stuff like this. I want to dance all night again :)

First organ gig

(Scroll to the bottom for the video)

My friend Evan suggested that I could just remove all the organ electronics and replace the MIDI jack and this would likely work without posing a danger to my laptop. So I finally did.

I replaced the original batteries with a phone charging battery from Argos. It goes to a PD trigger – a USB C board that tells the battery something is using it and draws a steady DC voltage. I’m drawing 12 volts.

This voltage is then split to go to two buck stepdown boards. The one currently in use is 8v, because the part of the organ in the wind chest uses 8v. The other part of the system is not yet installed, but will run on 5v.

A block diagram of how things are powered.

The actuators have three power cables, a heavy yellow ground and a red and a blue wire both at 8v.

The power wires in the original electronics are on the left screw terminal.

Then there are the MIDI wires.

This picture of the original electronics shows the MIDI white and orange wires. Neither is ground. One is 5v and the other is the data.

Fortunately, looking at the existing MIDI jack revealed which wire was which.

Instead of using a cable, the previous owner has driven nails into the jack.

Simply compare the nail position with the MIDI spec.

The MIDI pins are not in the order I would have guessed.

Fortunately, this followed the spec, as the data changed too fast to be discovered via voltmeter.

The voltmeter did let me know that the PD trigger I bought has on and off labelled in reverse on the device.

The board has limited documentation.The one with the glowing red numbers is reporting the output voltage.

The black thing on the breadboard is the new input MIDI jack.

And it worked.

So I brought it to the algorave and live coded it with SuperCollider.

@davebauerart @Dreamwieber

#HyperCard and its programming language #HyperTalk (inspired by #Smalltalk) spread widely into several authoring tools of the early web, like #Macromedia #Director and later #Flash.

There was also a Windows clone #MetaCard that lives on till today under the name #LiveCode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCode). Sadly it didn’t stick to it’s simplicity. It’s now bloatware, not usable for me.

Some people name the language #Delphi as a successor, but I’ve never tried it.
