When I wrote my preview DigiMixer post, I was awaiting the arrival of my latest mixer: a Behringer Wing Rack. It arrived a few days later, and I’m pleased to say it didn’t take long to integrate it with DigiMixer. (It’s now my main mixer.) While most of the integration was smooth sailing, there’s one … Continue reading When Abstractions…

Finally, several posts in, I’m actually going to start talking about abstraction using DigiMixer as the core example. When I started writing DigiMixer (almost exactly two years ago) I didn’t expect to take so long to get to this point. Even now, I’m not expecting this post to cover “everything about abstraction” or even “all … Continue reading Abstraction: Introduction…

(I’ve started a protocols directory in the GitHub repo, but there isn’t much there yet.) In the meantime, I wanted to … Continue reading SSC Protocol…

While I’m expecting this blog post series to cover a number of topics, the primary purpose is as a vehicle for discussing abstraction and what it can look like in real-world projects instead of the “toy” examples that are often shown in books and articles. While the DigiMixer project itself is still in some senses … Continue reading DigiMixer: Introduction…

This is the first of what I expect to become a series of maybe a dozen blog posts about a hobby project I’ve started, called DigiMixer. Back in January 2021 I posted about controlling an XR-16 using Open Sound Control, and then later using an X-Touch Mini to control the XR-16 using the same underlying … Continue reading Introduction to…
