Telepad
Built for Music Hack Day London 2013.
Use a Novation Launchpad and the Twilio API to play looped sounds on up to eight phones.
How?
You'll need a Twilio account, an ngrok account, a list of up to eight sound files hosted somewhere and a list of up to eight phone numbers.
Run ngrok:
$ ngrok 9999
You need a JSON config file as follows. The ngrok address needs to match the assigned one from above.
Then start the Telepad server:
$ telepad
The config file is expected to be named config.json
and located in the
current working directory. If it's not, you can pass in a relative path.
$ telepad some/other/file.json
The special buttons on the right of the Launchpad will light up red for each phone number in your config. Press them to make a call, you'll see them turn green. Each row corresponds to a phone and each button corresponds to a sound from your config!
