This wouldn’t normally be news, but for whatever reason, the Roland AIRAs went flying off the shelves – missing any MIDI documentation. Ahem.
We covered a number of these details before, including a Max for Live patch for the convenience of those of you integrating with Ableton. The good news: the hackers were right, and got more or less the entire implementation via trial and error. So, this is still a good resource:
AIRA Secrets: Here’s How to Take Command of Roland’s TB-3 and TR-8 with MIDI
The TR-8, then, holds no surprises. I’m just hopeful we see extra functionality via a firmware update. Fingers crossed.

The TB-3 is more interesting, particularly as I (keep) advocating it as a sequencer. As far as notes, it’s pretty limited – only 24-60 are transmitted, so you’ll have to do some transposition on your synth if you want something other than bass. But the Control Changes are all sent over MIDI:
MODULATION
11 PAD Y
12(ENV MOD) PAD X
13 (ENV MOD) PAD Y
16 ACCENT
17 EFFECT
71 RESONANCE
74 CUTOFF

Clock is sent and received, too. So, for a bit of extra control and notes – with pitch bend – for monophonic lines, this thing should be rather nice. Also, the TB-3 you can use on its own, battery-powered, so you can jam away, then take the same line and plug it into another synth later. I saw one of the AIRA engineers working on his basslines while in a corner of the visitor space in a corner of Musikmesse.
Thanks to Miami’s @3REV on Twitter for the tips, among other folks who sent this in. And 3REV earns extra cool points for founding a roller derby. That should be fun with some acid techno.

Today, the team behind LeJOS — the Java operating system for Legos — released a beta edition of their software for Mindstorms EV3. LeJOS has been around since 2000, when Jose Solozano first built the open-source Java-based software for Mindstorms RCX; it’s one of several software replacement systems for Mindstorms, […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZdBowwPZas Holonomic robots are cool. They move in any direction, they rotate on the spot, they even move while rotating. These unique capabilities of holonomic robots make them very well suited for operating in tight spaces. But holonomic robots are also fun to play with and look at as they move gracefully […]
