New Stribe Goodies
Curious Inventor has released a set of new Stribe goodies, including:
The Stribe1 is a sextacular touch strip LED controller that can be used to display and control music and video programs. Multiple Stribe1’s can be daisy-chained together to form a low-res, multi-touch display.
Use with Max/MSP or other software to adjust track volumes with VU meters, make a sequencer, control synth params and pitch, “scratch” through sounds, etc.
A microcontroller interface like the Arduino is required.
If you’re using the Stribe for music or multimedia, leave a link or use the YouTube embed option to post a video in the comments!
The video shows cursor and bar control for 8 daisy-chained Stribe1s, brightness control and full display animation.
About The Stribe kit:
- A modular version of the original stribe project.
- Each Stribe1 has 1 softpot touchstrip and 2 columns of 64 LEDs.
- Right now, you need to already have an Arduino or some other microcontroller interface to use a Stribe1. Each Stribe1 has (2) MAX7221 LED driver chips that can be controlled by an SPI bus. You’ll also need some software to communicate with the microcontroller board, like Max/MSP or PD (pure data) (free).
- Daisy Chainable: up to 8 Stribe1’s can be chained together using a 16 conductor ribbon cable and 7 jumpers between the Stribe1’s. You’ll need 8 analog in’s, so be sure to get the SMT Arduino as the through-hole version only has 6.

The Stribe is a DIY touch-strip interface with dual LED bargraph columns.
The video shows it being used with an Arduino, Max/MSP and Reason.
The kit sells for $79.99.
This video demos a Stribe controlling Logic 8 via IA.
Stribe + Scalar
A demo showing using the stribe with an app called ‘scalar‘ by vlad spears.
It is similar to ‘balron’ for the 40h. The stribes are divided into 8 sections, and so act sort of like a grid of buttons.
The stribe is starting to look like it could develop into an interesting companion project to the Monome – adding continuous controls and more.
