Concept: Very simple, using an Arduino and the play melody basic program, create a music playing speaker out of a vibration motor and a piece of flexible foam. Instead of pulsing signal to a speaker, signal is pulsed to a motor varying how fast it can spin and when it spins. Science behind it (this

This instructable will show you how to use an Arduino to send and receive a variety of MIDI messages so you can start building your own MIDI controllers and instruments. First I’ll talk a little bit about MIDI protocol, if you’re just looking for sample code skip ahead to steps 5-9. If you know absolutely

Theremins are cool. Fact. You may also have heard of them as either aetherphone/ etherophone or termenvox/ thereminvox. Essentially its an electronic music instrument that plays a certain note depending on the position of your hand and its distance from an antenna. Building a very basic one with Arduino is easy – easier than my

This project is a part of experiments done while doing an artist in residence at Instructables. You can see the other projects here. You can use bit-shifting as an alternative way of creating “music”. This principle enables you to squeeze as much processing power as possible out of the Arduino while creating novel and interesting

Welcome to the Instructable guide of my EL Wire hat with some fun features. The concept is an EL Wired hat with 8 sequenced EL wires controlled by a wired remote. Multiple speed controllable sequence modes are pre-programmed into an Arduino UNO, including a sound activation feature. Features: 7 sequence modes (speed controlled) 1 sound

For my children and technology class, we were challenged to make a product using a Lilypad Arduino. I am currently obsessed with the movie Frozen, so I decided to create something using one of the most iconic characters of the movie, Olaf. I used a blank, reusable grocery bag and created a picture of Olaf

THERE MAY BE 9 STEPS BUT I PROMISE THIS ONE IS QUICK AND EASY! In this Instructable I will be showing you how to create a light reactive LED system. In this clip, I used a single color LED strip, but you you can use a single LED, multiple LEDs wired together, single color or

This Arduino-powered vocal effects box pitch shifts and distorts incoming audio signals to produce a wide variety of vocal effects. This project is my first experiment with real-time digital signal processing using Arduino. It samples an incoming microphone signal at a rate of about 40kHz, manipulates the audio digitally, and then outputs 8 bit audio at 40kHz.

The Musical Bench is an exhibit which makes music when people touch, kiss, or hold hands. It uses a micro-controller to detect changes in resistance, via the copper armrests, and plays high or low notes depending on how much current flows through you and a friend. This exhibit is the result of messing around with
