Software and physical computing
Jason develops his own software and hardware using a range of development platforms which include:
• Max/MSP/Jitter
• Csound
• Arduino
• Raspberry Pi
He has developed a collection of hardware MIDI controllers utilizing resistive touch screen surfaces, digital and analog accelerometers, joysticks, photoresistors and more. Many of these were developed for specific events and performances.
Jason co-authored an article with Andrew Ikenberry which was published in issue 18 of the Csound Journal. The article is a tutorial on constructing a Eurorack compatible FM oscillator using Arduino and a Raspberry Pi.

Documentation of MIDI glove system development stage. An Arduino UNO R3 iunterprets rotation and tilt from 2-axis via an analog accelerometer. Incoming values are smoothed and scaled to MIDI CC messages. A button activates the sensor and calibrates the initial orientation to the centre point on both axis. The remaining movement on the horizontal plane is calculated and scaled to CC values.
