See that device at the bottom of the above screenshot? That’s the TeaboxOne device — a Max4Live device created with Cycling ‘74 MSP and Ableton’s recently released Max for Live, and a new Max external written just for the Teabox to function in Live. As mentioned in The Edit Button has been Pressed @ Cycling ’74, Max-for-Live really opens the door to hardware integration with Live.
Or, checkout (and contribute to) the source code:
The Live device shown is really just an example showing that you can get all of your wild custom sensors into Live. What you do after that is entirely up to you!
For more info on the Teabox sensor interface (and sensors), check out this blog post or buy one here.
Let us know if you do something awesome with it. We’re listening…

It’s no secret that I’ve always loved the way that Moog synthesizers and effects are not only wonderful sounding, but that they are also beautiful objects to look at. In some ways they are like alluring pieces of furniture.
For the last 5 years I’ve been wishing for a Teabox that embodied the craftsmanship of fine furniture or cabinet making. Now we’re finally going to do it! The pictures here are from the first rough prototype.
The new chassis is a hand crafted, heirloom quality, cherry box with classic dovetail joinery. We’re using a traditional hand-rubbed finish on the wood. The photos shown use our classic polished aluminum front and back plates, but we also have another version that employs a front and back made from hard maple.

I have just uploaded a new version of the Teabox decoders for PureData here:
http://code.google.com/p/teabox/downloads/list
In this new download (in the ‘bin’ folder) there is a version of the decoder already compiled for the Mac (in addition to the one already compiled for Windows), so you don’t have to compile it yourself.
This compiled version is a Universal Binary, so it should work with both PPC and Intel processors (such as a MacBook Pro).

The Teabox decoder objects for various objects have been orphans for a while. Some hosted here, some there, some just floating around from home to home. Now they have a proper home at Google Code:
Currently the source and binaries are host for various versions of Max and Pd. I’m hoping we can host the SuperCollider decoders here too, though I haven’t received permission from the author to do so yet.
It’s nice to have this stuff centralized, and properly accessible to the open-source community.

Composer Scott Wilson has made available some UGens that decode Teabox signals in SuperCollider.
This is very cool! In addition to the decoders we’ve released for Max/MSP, that means others have made decoders for both Pd and SuperCollider.
To find the UGens, turn your web browser here:

The Theater of Noise blog has posted a Review and Recommendations for Sensor Interfaces.
It is very thorough and well worth checking out. Here are a couple of highlights for the Teabox:
This is certainly what we’ve tried to do, so I’m glad it comes across!

It looks like someone has done some work to get the Teabox sensor data decoded in SuperCollider!

Thanks to Trond Lossius for the link.
