Some Audio Visual Stimulation

For those who didn't get to see it in action here are some sound clips that were recording during our progress.  These may not represent the final sound it will make but will give some audible examples of controls.

Here's a video of it in an earlier stage:


Here's some photos we took while building it for A2 Mini Maker's Faire. Hope you like shoeboxes:

A2 Faire Happened

We made it back from the maker faire without too much trouble. There were some interesting exhibits such as a vibrating brushcycle(see) and some very lovely sounds coming from the ham radio table.

We want to thank all of those who came to our table and seemed interested in the project. Hopefully our sleep deprived conversations didn't offend anybody. For those who are interested, we should have more information about our project as time goes on.

The experience definitely made us realize that we need to actually try to explain to ourselves how our synthesizer works. Sure we know all the code and wiring that went into it, but how do you explain this easily to others who may not know much about the arduino or even synthesizers.

Here's a video that flickr user dugsong took of us:

Ann Arbor Mini Maker Faire 2009

We'll be showing off our arduino synthesizer on the 29th in Ann Arbor. This means we have four days left to actually build it. For the purpose of this display we have decided to use a shoebox and springs for the connections. This should work out well for a very crude prototype. Hopefully we'll have some new photos tomorrow.
