Scratch Markup Language Fader Hack
http://fffff.at/scratch-markup-language-fader-hack/
How did we track the crossfader during the Art Hack Day?!? ZOMG!! So many questions! The answer is very simple! We used a VCA Mixer. Specifically the Vestax PMC-07 Pro. Because you know… we’re pro like that. I hear you asking now, “But, sir! WTF is a VCA Mixer?!?!” Well, I’m glad you asked. Allow me to explain: VCA or Voltage Controlled Amplifier means that instead of sending the audio signal to the crossfader the mixer instead sends a voltage which in turn controls the volume level for each channel. This makes determining the position of the fader very easy; simply measure the voltage for each channel. In the case of the PMC-07 Pro the voltage that is sent to the crossfader is 10V DC. We used an Arduino Uno to monitor the voltage. It maxes out at 5V. Not wanting to explode the Arduino with 10V we used a simple voltage divider on each channel utilizing two (four total) 1 megaohm resistors. We would have been a lot better off using 100 kilohm resistors. Using an opamp would have been even more betterer but… we didn’t have any of those.
Because we’re so damn pro and didn’t have any of the parts to make a proper Y cable we just soldered everything to the crossfader.
Go team awesome!
Yes, I hear you. You’re wondering, “That’s all well and good, but how am I supposed to hook it all up?!?”
Simple! Follow these amazeball instructions. The PMC-07 Pro uses a 4 pin connector on the crossfader. The outside pins are power and ground the middle pins are for the channels. Use a volt meter to determine which pin is power and which pin is ground. Plug ground into one of the ground pins on the Arduino and the two center pins from the fader through a voltage divider and into two analog pins on the Arduino. We used A0 and A1. You do not need to hook anything up to the 10V power pin on the mixer. Got it?
Here I drew you a picture too! CLICK TO EMBIGGEN
The Arduino sketch we used can be found here. In summation here is a list of items you must procure to do this:
Vestax PMC-07 Pro mixer (Any VCA mixer will do, just drop the voltage to 5V or less.) Four 100 kilohm resistors An Arduino A proper Y cable for the PMC-07 Pro. Instructable for building it is here Arduino sketch found here
Build your Y cable. Make a couple voltage dividers. Hook it up like the picture above and BLAMO!

ScratchML Data Spec
http://fffff.at/scratchml-data-spec/
ScratchML, like GML, is an XML-based format for storing information about the position of the record and crossfader during a scratch performance. This is a “beta” release of the .SML file format, with sample data for 1 turntable and 1 crossfader. The format is designed to accomodate multiple turntables and crossfaders and a wide variety of data capture techniques, but we’ve only field-tested it against the basic 1 deck + 1 mixer scratch setup, which is what we were working with this weekend. The two most important fields are:
<turntable> — stores data about the playback position on the record as a consistently sampled stream of floats, with <samplerate> samples per second. <fader> — stores data for crossfader movements, ranging from 0 (full-left) to 1 (full-right). This data is stored only when the fader actually moves, and is stored as <p> (position) and <t> (time) tuplets in the field.
Sample data produced by LM4K, mostly baby scratches and flares: XML / JSON Spec + commentary: ScratchML r6 beta spec:
The ScratchML.com database can also automatically convert from XML to JSON for use in javascript visualizations. Change the .xml file extension to .json, and optionally pass a JSONp ?callback= parameter, like this. During Art Hack Day we converted SML to OSC and broadcast it over the wifi for realtime visualizations — more info to come about that.

Scratch Markup Language (.sml)
http://fffff.at/scratch-markup-language-sml/
SML (Scratch Markup Language) is a new file format for recording and replaying turntablism. We’ve developed open-source tools for accurately capturing the record and crossfader movements of a scratch DJ, allowing us to analyze, transcribe, and recreate scratch performances. We want to do for turntablism what Graffiti Markup Language has done for tagging — especially teaching giant robot arms how to scratch. At Art Hack Day we collaborated with other artists and programmers to develop the first prototypes of ScratchML. We used timecode vinyl to capture record movements ($10) and a hacked VCA fader + Arduino to record the crossfader ($30). Scratch data was saved to disk as .sml and broadcast as OSC, which allowed other Art Hack Day participants to build visualizations based on what the DJ was scratching during the exhibition. The apps ranged from spinning-vinyl animations and TTM transcriptions to insane exploding 3D pizzas and a side-scrolling videogame shooter controlled by scratches. Our goal is to make capturing, replaying, and sharing a scratch performance accurate and easy. SML files can be freely uploaded and downloaded from the ScratchML.com database. We’re particularly looking forward to improving the experience of learning how to scratch — e.g. by building apps that show you just how accurate your autobahn scratches actually are. Throughout the week here on FAT we’ll be publishing ScratchML projects created during Art Hack Day, data specs, source code, hardware modification details and more. Want to get involved? Join the ScratchML mailing list, follow us on GitHub, or email me with any questions. More info to come at scratchML.com

Introducing KATSU
http://fffff.at/introducing-katsu/
Theo: A short introduction: KATSU, a long time collaborator with FAT and GRL has joined FAT as an Artist in Residence. KATSU has had long had a unique approach to graffiti and hacking urban environments. This post is a short introduction to some of his existing work. Expect to see a bunch of new hybrid work during this A.I.R that extends in all directions. How many have left a mark that can be seen from space?
- – - – - – - – - – - – - Begin Katsu: I’m a graffiti writer/vandal/slimer working in New York City. I’ve been involved in graffiti for over 15 years. I love graffiti and feel that it’s time to really change shit up. Traditional graffiti methods are powerful but the combination of graff and tech can be absolutely LETHAL. My goals as KATSU are to motivate vandals and accumulate FT’s. I have turned graffiti into a game for myself where the objective is to gain “FT’s” or “FameTokens tm.” in the most effective ways possible. Any and all FT’s are good for business so placing my name in people’s lives, and in unique ways is the main objective. Because I’m new to F.A.T. I figured I should show off some of the things I’ve made. I’m very excited to meet the crew and get grinding on some sick ideas.

Kinect Russian Roulette Prototype
http://fffff.at/kinect-russian-roulette-prototype/
Kinect Russian Roulette is a speed project by Theo Watson, which allows you to play Russian Roulette with just your hand and a Kinect. The project was made in 3 hours at the Art Hack Day at 319 Scholes and is made with openFrameworks 007 and ofxKinect. This project is tongue and cheek and is not endorsed by anyone or any brand. Just a ridiculous idea which needed to be made :) Code ( very messy ) will be posted to github.

FAT vs. Art Hack Day
http://fffff.at/fat-vs-art-hack-day/
Kyle McDonald and I will be developing a new project at the upcoming Art Hack Day in Brooklyn, which culminates in a public art exhibition at 319 Scholes on Saturday, 1/28 at 7pm. Internet, you are invited to attend and see what we come up with. There will be art, technology, free beer (as in beer) and free source code (as in speech).
Over the next few days Kyle and I will be working on the first prototypes of Scratch Markup Language, an open-source system for capturing, describing and digitizing turntablism. The project is inspired by our previous work developing Graffiti Markup Language, and we hope to do for scratching what GML has done for tagging — including teaching giant robots how to do graffiti.
Want to get involved? Sign up for the ScratchML mailing list, follow @scratchML on GitHub or join #fatlab IRC and ping @jamiew

Ideaz1 – “USBmoan” – a more expressive computer(companion)
http://fffff.at/ideaz1-usbmoan-a-more-expressive-computercompanion/
The USB ports on my computer are treated with respect. However sometimes I am in a hurry and do not have the time to properly “eject”. I feel very bad for my computer because I know it’s not voicing how it actually feels every time I insert or “eject”. Every time you insert or “eject” any USB device your computer makes a sexual moan. The noise could be a woman’s moan, a dog bark who knows, a scream, no matter what it is shit would be ill. People should have more expressive experiences with their comps (companions-computer). I aint a programmer. is this a difficult task? am i a sicko?

Mittens Romney – Browser Extension
http://fffff.at/mittens-romney-extension/
This a browser extension which turns all instances of Mitt Romney to Mittens Romney on web pages. ( Mitt is short for Mittens!!!! ) I’m convinced that nobody in the US would accept having a president named Mittens, so I am releasing a tool to highlight his real ( and rather cute ) name. Screen shot of the installed extension:
A huffington post article made that bit more silly:
An example google search (before & after installing Mittens):
Install Mittens: What are you waiting for? Get Mittens Now! Click to install Mittens Chrome Extension
Download and Install Mittens Safari Extension ( then double click to install ) Click to install Mittens Firefox Extension Note: Firefox version was automatically made with this tool and isn’t working on google search results. Working on getting it working 100%. You can grab the code or contribute to the project on github: https://github.com/ofTheo/mittens/ Credits: Made by Theo Watson. Thanks to Greg Leuch for Shaved Biever which the Chrome version is based off of. Icon is from the header from this cat heavy Mittens Romney site.
