Sans Trumpet
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe goal of this Major Qualifying Project was to create an interactive MIDI controller that is intuitive to use and thus, enables people with various levels of expertise to make music. Based upon a glove concept and utilizing the playing technique of a trumpet (as the gestures of a hand were determined to be most conveniently translated), a MIDI device, the SansTrumpet, was created that can be utilized in various Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), such as GarageBand, ProTools, and Logic. The components of the SansTrumpet include a Teensy microcontroller, flex sensors, and a proximity sensor. The final product features the full pitch range of a standard trumpet, offers an alternative and intriguing visual aspect in performance, and allows for MIDI capability.
