Hi all, Just received my Eyesy today and got it up and running. Over the week I’ve been anticipating its arrival I have been thinking up ideas for it. I’ve read a bit and have some coding knowledge but wanted to throw my idea out there for advice. Has anyone used the eyesy to load a background image and a few sprites (3-4 small ones) and have the sprites react to MIDI and/or audio triggers? Any pointers to modes I could start from? Looking forward to embracing this device and community and appreciate any input. ---

Well, to answer my own question, I wrote a simple mode that loads over a dozen images, most of which are controlled by MIDI messages, and it runs fine on the Eyesy! It’s probably not the type of content typically found in a synth forum, just a video commemorating my family’s recent trip cross country but was fun to make. Looking forward to making some more “synthy” modes in the future. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/PVAjC9tsKPg/hqdefault.jpg "We Are The Dinosaurs") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVAjC9tsKPg) ---

Also, to give proper credit, the music is our cover of the kids’ song We Are The Dinosaurs by Laurie Berkner. ---

Great to see the Eyesy being used in a totally different way.
