Analog and Digital Techniques — Tools for Musicians, Composers, and Tinkerers

It’s spring, and our store is migrating back north! We’ve had a really good past few months, and need to upgrade our store and distribution system. This will fix some issues we’ve been having with international shipping, and hopefully make the whole checkout process easier and faster for our customers.

We very much appreciate your patience during this process, which shouldn’t take more than a week. During that time our store will be shut down. If you have any questions about orders, please feel free to email us at questions@openmusiclabs.com.

We recently finished the design and documentation for rePatcher: a mini-modular synth interface for MAX/MSP and Pure Data.

rePatcher is an Arduino shield that has a 6 x 6 patchbay matrix that allows you to control data flow with a physical interface. It also has 6 general purpose control knobs. We’re hoping it will eventually be used to control other digital music programs (Reason would be a good candidate), or built into a road-worthy case with banana jacks and big knobs. Heck, why not hide the computer inside as well, and see how many people you can impress with your tiny, old-skool modular synth!

Check out the rePatcher page for more details.
