Building Low-Cost Music Controllers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents our work on building low-cost music controllers intended for educational and creative use. The main idea was to build an electronic music controller, including sensors and a sensor interface, on a “10 euro” budget. We have experimented with turning commercially available USB game controllers into generic sensor interfaces, and making sensors from cheap conductive materials such as latex, ink, porous materials, and video tape. Our prototype controller, the CheapStick, is comparable to interfaces built with commercially available sensors and interfaces, but at a fraction of the price.

Distribution of Building Nonstructural Components in Height Subjected to Cost of Damage for Low-Rise Office Buildings
Exceeded losses of nonstructural components from structural ones in most demolished buildings in previous earthquakes and its limitation on functionality of critical facilities and building serviceability after earthquakes should be got the point of view for accounting loss of building as a merit for building performance. This paper attempts to demonstrate the significant role of distribution p...
متن کاملWearable Interfaces for Cyberphysical Musical Expression
We present examples of a wireless sensor network as applied to wearable digital music controllers. Recent advances in wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs) have precipitated the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low-power, low-cost wireless sensor networks. We have applied this new technology to create a fully wireless, wearable network of accelerometers which are small enough to be hidden under clot...
متن کاملDesign and Application of Digital Fuzzy Controllers
This paper focuses on hardware implementations of fuzzy inference systems which provide low silicon cost, high operational speed and adaptability to different application domains. The architecture and basic building blocks of two fuzzy logic controllers are described and their functionality is illustrated with experimental results showing the capability of these systems to be applied as functio...
متن کاملActive vibration control of smart building frames by feedback controllers
In this paper the active vibration control of a four-story shear frame instrumented with piezoelectric actuators is presented. The piezoelectric actuators are hosted on the columns in two manners and the produced controlling forces by actuators are considered in the equation of motion. The smart structure modeling and control design is carried out using MATLAB software in state space form. Subs...
متن کاملPosture identification of musicians using non-intrusive low-cost resistive pressure sensors
The following paper documents the creation of a prototype of shoe-soles designed to detect various postures of standing musicians using non-intrusive pressure sensors. In order to do so, flexible algorithms were designed with the capacity of working even with an imprecise placement of the sensors. This makes it easy and accessible for all potential users. At least 4 sensors are required: 2 for ...
