A complete set of control objects for the CM Labs Motormix control surface, complete with comprehensive help files and a "virtual Motormix" surface for your enjoyment. The Motormix is the best-of-breed in control surfaces. Also others, including PPPlayer (a complete vst~ hosting system, with onscreen keyboard, arpeggiator (based on ddg.arp) and audio recorder), ddg.arp (analog-style arpeggiator), bangseq (for sequencer and drum machine creation), and QuickStart (A bunch of abstractions and bpatchers that provide useful tools for both beginning and experienced Max/MSP developers).

In this series of articles, I will be building a Max-based guitar processing "rig", and will give you the opportunity to look over my shoulder as I design and implement this system.

ppianoUB~ for Max/MSP OS X, Universal Binary, and other things for max/msp

some Max/MSP objects I have written. They are mostly based on physical models.

The UBCToolbox consists of a collection of modules which are encapsulated in bpatcher objects. The bpatcher provides you with simple controls for the module so that it can be controlled in a logical and consistent way. Version 0.94 of the Toolbox includes the following modules:

Hypotrochoid is the mathematical term for a line traced by a fixed point in a circle (your pen) rolling around a bigger circle.

These beautiful flowing curves have fascinated mathematicians for centuries. Different points within the circle produce wildly differing patterns. This a classic and absorbing drawing set, easy and fun to use that will throw you back to your childhood!

This 11 piece set comes in a tin case and includes (1) Green (1) Red and (1) Blue Pen and also comes with instructions.

This tutorial covers basic trig theory, as discussed in Appendix B of Processing:Creative Coding and Computational Art, Ira Greenberg, Friends of ED, 2007
Some thhhheor-ie

Trigonometry (really just a couple of the trig functions) is central to graphics programming. That being said if you’re anything like me you probably have a hazy memory of trig. Perhaps you remember the mnemonic device soh-cah-toa, used to remember the relationships between the trig functions and a right triangle. Here's a diagram to awaken your memory.

he pristine white room with Amie Potsic’s large scale silver gelatin prints mounted on aluminum and floating boxes is experience design created by an artist who has encouraged the best to do better. The ultra-fine black and white photographs depict human skin scars juxtaposed with images of scars on statues of Jesus Amie took on trips to Italy, San Francisco and NYC. Amie explained to DoN that pilgrims visit these statues and touch the scars as a form of worship. The display is visceral and poetic with the mind’s eye mixing up the stone skin with the real skin and entire movie length memes playing out about how the sculptor developed such skill or what a horrible burn must feel like or the healing from a grueling surgery. Shoshka found it hard to take at first but as the eye absorbs the photography the true beauty of scars is revealed. Amie explained that one burn victim was complemented on the beauty of his scars while in San Francisco with the admirer wondering where he could get one

Here is a set of additive color model conversion algorithms that I found published on Wikipedia and have implemented in JavaScript. It was surprisingly difficult to find these actually implemented anywhere in compact, efficient, and bug-free code, so I wrote my own. These should be easily portable to other programming languages if desired.

I’d never really bothered to learn the relationship between RGB values and the hex code so often seen in CSS files. With a little investigation it appeared that it’s not that difficult a concept to grasp

In computing truecolour graphics describe 256 shades of Red, Green and Blue. This equates to somewhere in the region of 16 million different colours (256 x 256 x 256). Truecolor can be represent as three separate RGB values, such as 255, 255, 255 for white, but can also be described by a hexadecimal code such as #FFFFFF.

Hexadecimal is a base-16 numeral system. The symbols 0-9 and A,B,C,D,E,F represent values 0 - 15 respectively. Each truecolor RGB value maps very nicely to a two digit hexadecimal code as 16 x 16 = 256. Therefore in the white example #FFFFFF, each two digit code (FF) represents 255 for each of the of the RGB colour channels.

Converting an integer to a hex value is therefore very simple using javascript’s built in Integer.toString() method

This library contains six of the most useful JavaScript tools available for today's website. The beauty of this library is that all of these tools can be used together, extended, configured and styled. In the end, you can have hundreds of different widgets and new personal ways of using the library.

Some time ago I was doing some proof of concept: how Visual Studio docking functionality can be done with jQuery and unordered lists. Basically, the main goal was to implement multiple docking and undocking functionality. This tutorial will show you the results of PoC.

This is how docking should behave:
1. When user hovers an item on vertical menu, its submenu should slide in from left to right (points 1 and 2 in the image below) and overlay the content
2. When user move the mouse pointer outside the panel it should slide back
3. If user clicks on "Dock" link (point 3 in the image below), panel should fix in the current position while content moves to the right of the panel in order to be seen
4. If users "undock" the panel it should slide back

This tutorial covers the basics about creating a SpaceTree-like visualization. If you want to know more about this visualization I’d recommend you to visit the documentation for the input JSON data, the Canvas Widget, and the SpaceTree layout, where you can find detailed information about its configuration options and controller methods.

Here you can see tabs in action. They are the most popular user-interface component on the web. And for good reason: they are intuitive to use, people are used to them, and above all your can organize your pages more friendly.

Motivation
Tabs are the most imporant UI widget on the web and this tool is the best implementation you can find.

I have collected together the latest news from around the Internet to do with WordPress and it’s customisation. Please see the headlines from the various websites below.

Zinmag tribune is the latest magazine theme from the zinmag series. This theme is designed with a newspaper layout. It is bundled with all the premium theme features and a custom admin panel to enable its different modules. Free support is available via the support forums.

Skin Deep pairs ingredients in more than 41,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety.

Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Digital stories derive their power by weaving images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby giving deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences, and insights.”–Leslie Rule, Center for Digital Storytelling

The main idea of the spacetree algorithm is to take the most common tree layout, and to expand nodes that are “context-related” .i.e lying on the path between the root node and a selected node. Useful animations to contract and expand nodes are also included.
