Hey peepz,
it's been a long time, but the last few months have been enormously busy. I've been working lots and lots and lots for ruin & wesen, putting on a lot of different hats. I bought a CNC mill to do the casings and other things, and being afflicted with the not-invented-here, I wrote a complete CAM package, read a bit about it here:

. Also I integrated my whole midi development framework into the Arduino software, and called it the mididuino. I held a talk about it in Berlin for the Chaos Communication Congress, here is some more material about it:
link (video of the talk)
link (blog with slides and other stuff)
link (video on blip showing the first prototype)
link (minicommand video)
link (project on google code)
And the thing I'm really really really happy about is that I finally got the look and casing of the devices down, they are ROCK solid (and I mean that) and affordable (and hand made!):

link (minicommand video)
Also, even though I haven't made a lot of music lately, I played quite a few gigs, and start to feel really confident about my liveset.
Here is a recording of me gigging on just the machinedrum in Berlin:
link (starts at 18:00)
And here is a recording of me & opuswerk for STFU @ Transmediale, where we played with 2 machinedrums, a monomachine and ableton

Things are really looking good now, and the period of fear and self-doubt is almost over I guess  Much more exciting things to come.
PS: Also check out the wicked Drummm VST by Ruin over at link . People are digging this, and so should you!

shipping should start in a few weeks, I need to get a batch of devices done, but basically I'm looking at early march o/ o/ o/
I can't put this into words, but the work has been both incredible, painful, funny and really scary. Really glad the "worry" phase is over.
