One of the teams participating to the MIT Media Labs Design Innovation workshop at PESIT Bangalore last January built something called Beat Feet using Arduino Uno: We designed a system which will allow musicians, guitarists and keyboardists to set the beats according to the music they play, without getting up from their place or […]
(Italian version below) Are you a musician, music amateur, electronic bricoleur or maker who makes music by creating your own instruments and tools using Arduino? We are looking for your music tracks to be presented in a radio program entirely dedicated to (DIY) music made with Arduino based synths and instruments.The program […]
The user [selcukartut] sent us a project full integrated with Arduino boards. Filika (Istanbul) designed and produced an Interactive Percussion Playing Car for Volkswagen’s breathtaking pickup Amarok. Several sensors were implemented on the board, so that the participants were able to trigger percussion sounds via tapping their hands on the car. Technically speaking, there were two […]
Invention of a new Open Source mechanical musical instrument Following the « DYI » trend, here comes a musical automaton created by [EricDuino]. This Arduino based autonomous robot is named « Line Follower Organ », « Orgue Suiveur de Ligne » in its maiden language. What’s new with this instrument is that it moves along its partition in order to play […]
Skube is a music player that allows you to discover and share music. There are two modes, Playlist and Discovery. Playlist plays the tracks on your Skube, while Discovery looks for tracks similar to the ones on your Skube so you can discover new music that still fits your taste. When Skubes are connected together, they act […]
With the Drum kit – Kit AI by Spikenzielabs you can build an electronic drum kit. The bundle contains all of the electronics, including the piezo sensors for the drum pads. You build the drum pads yourself, and then connect the Drum Kit – Kit AI to your computer to play sounds using your favorite […]
We have already mentioned the fantastic work of Amanda Ghassei for Instructables in this post. I would like to report two other very useful documents. The first is What is MIDI? and explain in detail how MIDI protocol works. The second, even more important is Send and Receive MIDI with Arduino. Please note, regarding the […]
Amanda Ghassaei has published on her website an interesting project: the Glitchbox. This instrument can do two different things: -it can be used as a standalone audio device, with the audio data stored in the arduino’s flash memory -it can also be used to sequence MIDI through a usb connection to your computer The glitchbox […]
In an article on the New York Times Nick Bilton report us an impressive sentence pronounced by Paola Antonelli, senior curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art. She said: “The two most important introductions for art in the past 20 years have been the Arduino and Processing”. Not […]
Percussa’s AudioCubes are wireless smart blocks for sound design, composition, live performance, music education and music app development. They can sense your fingers and hands as well as each other’s location and orientation. They have built in RGB lighting for visual feedback. Shaping sounds in this fashion is much more intuitive than using knobs: rather […]
