Overview As enthusiasts of audio, we aimed to use our recent understanding of microcontrollers to create an exciting consumer gadget. Our project is a drum machine that functions as a step sequencer. The user can create a 16-step percussion sequence with various percussion instruments on six separate tracks. The user switches between various music tracks […]
This project is a part of experiments done while doing an artist in residence at Instructables. You can see the other projects here. Creating emergent patterns that can be converted into sounds fascinates me. So this is my first experiment in building an arduino platform for creating such patterns. This version uses a Gameduino as its

People love listening to music while exercising. Music provides the motivation needed for individuals to keep exerting energy and get in shape. So, because people enjoy listening to music while exercising, what if an MP3 player only played an individual’s music while they are active? Using music as an incentive to continue exercising would encourage

Incorporating sounds or music into our project will reliably increase its attractiveness and make it more visually appealing. If your Arduino has many pins to spare, you can easily incorporate sound effects into your project by using an extra SD card module and a standard speaker. This article will show how easy it is to

In theory, it is quite simple to perform sound localization by measuring the phase difference of signals received by two microphones that are far apart in space. The devil is always in the details. I have not come across any project made for Arduino like this before, and I am wondering if it is even
Multiple synthesizer projects have been done for the Arduino, but few have been able to utilize the full power of the Arduino processor. DZL from GeekPhysical wrote a 4 voice wavetable synthesizer that is one of the more advanced software based synths for the Arduino. It has wavetables included (sine, saw, square and triangle) and

I’ve just completed my second Arduino project, a sound level detector which sets off an “alarm” when there’s the sound level is to high for too long. I built it for use in a school that wants to provide visual feedback to students when they are being too loud. The “alarm” is a string of
Being able to capture sound, store it and play it over and over again never fails to leave me in awe of its pioneers, from Thomas Edison to Alan Blumlein, the British electrical engineer who, in 1931, invented ‘binaural recording’ – what we now call ‘stereo’. (Never heard of him? Blumlein amassed 128 patents in
