SINEWAVE

A instruments that you can play in the air
Project Overview
SINEWAVE is a synthesizer intrument that uses the IR distance sensor to detecting distance and generating the sound
Inspiration
I always want to make a instrucment that can release our hand from the surface. I want to play the music through the air. After I saw the Theremin, I start to think about using the sensor to detect the distance and tranfer it into soundwave
Interactions
How to use it
Apr 2014 - Mar 2015
You can use the rotate button to adjust the smoothness of the pitch variation, and using mute to controll what pitch you want to skip to sound, and finally waving the plate in front of the distance sensor to playing different pitchs
Coding the sound generator
How to code it
Apr 2014 - Mar 2015
Using processing.sound library to collect the distance that sensor deliered and controll the frequency of the sound
