Got Mac, got Wii? Play music!

Ever since mankind discovered that the Wii remote uses Bluetooth for its wireless connection nerds people have been trying to use it for doing music. There have been some PC based drum instruments and of course the performance artists over at Cycling 74 had someone who was controlling a fancy sample playing looper thingy. I wanted something simpler, as easy to use as the Wii itself, so I wrote a straightforward monophonic string drum playing thing. It’s hard to describe, I’m going to record myself playing it and put it up here later, but to be honest if you’ve got a Mac with Bluetooth it’s probably easier to just download the program and have a go yourself. I’ve given this project its own page (or just click on the KS-3ii link at the top of the blog), with instructions, downloading links and room for your comments and suggestions.
