Magic Robotic Contact-Mic Hitter Thingie: Solenoids and Beats #MusicMonday
Above is the fruits of hurricane-induced tardiness, the Magic Robotic Contact-Mic Hitter Thingie. Essentially, there are four cantilevered hammers I made on my Shapeoko that are struck by solenoids; the solenoids are driven via MIDI. In the video, I have the Arduino rigged as a class-compliant MIDI interface, and it is being driven by Bram Bos’ Euclidian sequencer plugin, which is part of his Rozetta suite of MIDI plugins for iOS.
