He thinks its super cool! I told him I will do a mar II version, and he wants to come and watch! Might be handy then he can choose the sounds! Still going to keep it analogue, have to use what I have but thats good, it makes me get creative
Not sure, I have seen IR ones tho! they look pretty lame, if I was going to do one I might try pic CTMU and do it all on cap sensing, thinking about it I have also seen one made from 2 ultra sonic transducers, I did have an idea for a conductors stick that used a cheap RF wireless link, the sound would have been from an accelerometer and gyroscope, so as you waved it around like a conductor the sound would change. I have a 2/3 schematic somewhere, I gave up because when the accelerometer arrived it was tiny and I dropped it outside! Maybe I should send off for samples again
I got the idea from dragons den tv show, they had a man that had made a harry potter wand to controll things with using IR and a accelerometer.
So they were, I see moog are still selling products.
I doubt I'll design something, getting rf osc's to align sounds like a right pain.
I bet you can get them midi these days too.
