Hi guys,

There was a feature on the Youtube front page today of a video of a guy using "BeatMachine". It's a smart piece of software that uses your webcam to make a virtual drum machine on pretty much anything!

I set it up in about 15 mins for a laugh, it's pretty good fun! With a bit of fiddling you could import your own samples into it too.

This is a video of the first thing I did with it, sorry it's pretty dull but it shows what you can do with a large amount of geekiness and a small amount of time. :)

  • Hey, the link to the program is apparently dead! way lame.... do you know anywhere else i could get it?

  • Hi there mate...I jsut had a wee look and it seems like the link is up and running again! Give it a bash man, it's a really fun bit of software if you have a free afternoon. ;)

  • NIce!

    Where can i Find the program?

  • Hi, please visit the video that this is a response to and the website is in the info there. Thanks for watching!

  • Pretty cool interaction when you you move your hands across its field of vision. Definitely worth experimenting with.

    A lot of difference in interaction when the cam is above or below the target layout, judging by the other demo.

  • Hehe yeah it's great fun to experiment with and really only takes 15 mins or so to set up. When the cam is below the surface it doesn't pick up your hand of course and so is much better for laying out beats in a live situation! It's just much more difficult to set up and I wanted it to work NOW! :)
