The RES Mini is based on the RES(2004). This portable version uses 3 Nintendo Entertainment System’s controllers. The controllers are converted to USB via an ArduinoBoard. The output of each controller is connected to a computer that runs the Resware, a Pure Data based software. Each controller is playing with a different sound bank, so players can mix like Dj’s and play as a group, like a band.
The Resware allows users to load their own sound libraries or to use the samples available with the software. The basic setup is the following:
[Controller 1] Drums [Controller 2] Voices, Music Loops, Scratch... [Controller 3] Voices, Music Loops, Scratch...
