Long time to updates!

You can download the video from Chaos Computer Club's media vault:

CCC is the hackerspace in Cologne that hosts the annual Sonoj Convention events (among many other great things!).

I've been to Sonoj Convention this weekend and I've given a live presentation demonstrating Bespoke Synth. My intention was to show how powerful and fun the software is, give some basic skills and encourage people to explore further.

Warning! Flickering Images

There's been some technical issues with video output capture from my laptop (not mine only, later it happened to other presenters too) and that unfortunately results in flickering image that comes in and out of black. If you're sensitive to flashing images, be careful when watching this.
I don't know if I'll be able to fix this and upload to my YouTube / PeerTube channel.

If you have any ideas on how these black flickers could be fixed up automatically with Avisynth / Vapoursynth - please let me know. I don't have the capacity to manually fix these issues, but I'd love to do something about them and make this presentation more accessible as a result.

I also want to share my project files (the presentation was done in BespokeSynth itself), though I need to figure out how to do that first.

EDIT:
I've attached two BespokeSynth projects. One is the presentation, the other is my 1-hour challenge entry.

I've also attached a script that activates Programmer mode on a Launchpad Mini mk3 (which I have) as well as crude controller layout for AKAI MPK mini (Mk 1) that I made based on someone else's work,

and multiple versions of Launchapd Mini Mk3 layout (some that I took from someone else, some that I made by moidifying their work).

Put the .py file into your BespoekeSynth/scripts/ directory.
Put the .json files into your BespoekeSynth/controllers/ directory.
Put the .bsk filesinto your BespoekeSynth/savestate/ directory.

I hope that'll be useful :)
