Rather late #Hackster round-up to start this week, 'cos my eldest wanted the desktop to play with some friends so I took the opportunity get some stuff done offline.

First up, a device from @bikerglen that turns any MIDI control surface into a fast-boot soundbox for live or streaming shows.

It's #Hackster round-up time! First up is another *fantastic* project from @ancientjames: an "digital iris" for interchangeable-lens cameras which lets you control - and even animate - the bokeh using an LCD.

Confused? Imagine seeing out-of-focus highlights as spinning cogs... or a playable (ish) game of Doom.
