Plug it into any computer and it immediately shows up as a MIDI controller or re-code it to have it as a keyboard\/mouse emulator or serial device - no drivers, no setup, no faff. It can control music software, video, lighting, games, or pretty much any application that accepts MIDI, HID, or OSC input, straight out of the box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut you don't need a DAW, an IDE, or any specialist software to use it! The SPOKE website has web-based tools for playing and recording music, editing your code, and building new interactions, all running in a browser. Just plug in, open a tab, and start making things. The barrier to entry is about as low as it gets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do want to go deeper, the firmware is CircuitPython and lives on the board as a plain \u003ccode\u003ecode.py\u003c\/code\u003e file.
