The Project So Far ...

Here is a quick little sneak preview of what I have been working on regarding the drum machine exhibit for my digital history class:   As you can tell I have managed to attach the vibration sensor  inside the drum so it is actually underneath the drum head. Now the tough part begins - coding. So far in the program is able to detect each hit based on the vibration. Now I need to program it to do all kinds of fun things like keeping time or setting off another midi-instrument. I am currently working through V.J. Manzo's "Max/MSP/Jitter for Music: A Practical Guide to Developing Interactive Music Systems for Education and More" to get a better idea of what I can do.  Hopefully after a couple weeks of serious programming I will be able to get this thing to actually respond to what someone plays on the plays other than just getting a light to go off in the program, haha. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know :)

A bit of an older song from one of my favourite house DJ's - Gareth Emery that I just can't stop listening to. Great vocals and an amazing chilled out house song :) Enjoy!
