| The Repatcher Shield gives you a hardware interface to control your Puredata and MAX/MSP patches as if they were old-skool analog modular synthesizers. The Repatcher Shield attaches to an arduino compatible board, and gives you 6 potentiometers for 10b data input, and a 6 x 6 patchbay matrix.

==== Programming Examples ==== The Audio Codec Shield can be used with any microcontroller, but we have layed it out for the Arduino and Maple to get more people involved in making interesting musical applications. To help promote this, we have also made a number of example sketches and libraries to get you started quickly. The main programming structure follows that of the MICrODEC: the program initializes the codec, and then waits in the main loop until it is interrupted by the codec, at which time it executes your code in the interrupt service routine. This gives the best audio quality, as it ensures that nothing else will delay the processing of your audio data. But, this also means that all of your functions must fit within the time allotted between audio samples, and other functions that rely on interrupts can't be used (like ''delay()''). Different programming structures can be used, but this one is the easiest and gives the best results. |
To use the Repatcher, first be sure that you have the appropriate USB drivers installed for your Arduino board. These come with the Arduino programming environment and must be loaded for your Arduino to work. Next, load the Arduino sketch linked below, and attach the Repatcher shield. Finally, download the appropriate (PureData or MAX/MSP) Repatcher patches and place them in the same folder you will executing out of. * [[attachment:repatcher.pde|Arduino Repatcher sketch]] * [[attachment:repatcher.pd|PureData Repatcher patch]] * [[attachment:test.pd|PureData Repatcher test sketch]] ==== Use Instructions ==== There are 6 inputs and 12 outputs on the Repatcher object. The 6 audio inputs on the top send their signals to the corresponding 6 OUT's on the Repatcher board.
