Sound and Visualization
Background
Creating a simple musical instrument that uses a range sensor to trigger sound samples. Players can create musical sounds capes by moving in front of the range sensor, which maps pitch to distance. This project was created using an Arduino board with a PING ultrasonic sensor as receiver and transmitted the signal to and audio library, which is particularly the ideation at the moment is to connect with the Minim sound library convert using Reason/Soundforge/Soundwave in processing the midi output sound. The output from the midi sound will be processed and converted into a visual play using a suitable application.
Problem Identification
Explore on how motion act in real space using ever-present technology around the community of end-user. Surrounding the action with some gimmick, users just need to pass-by in front of the sensor and strively the signal will detected the motion and transmitting the data to the component. The component will process the order and fabricate the midi sound. The more sound will be attached by detecting a motion/action from user.
Project Title
Theresynth – A combination of Theremin instrument and a synthesizer device.
Ideation & Concept
Create an installation that allows the specific targeted user to take the input role and deliberately form an experimental midi sound boon the tentative visualization as the output of the installation.
Aim & Objectives
- To evoke the alternative method of synthesizer by enhancing the existence device
- To explore and experiment with Theremin digital instrument create by
- To provoke the experimental emotion within the user and the computer
Motivation
Create a project based on a micro controller board that will receive and transmit a sensor for input and will deliver a visual with audio as the output. A research and good understanding on Theremin and range sensor will give some idea to develop the platform. Preferable to help understand suitable programming language that need to be learned to make sure the communication between the subject is went well and work like charm.
