Interactive Installation Project

1st Prototype Time!

Will be able to setup and have a real proper test of what my installation will be like in the next couple of days. I reckon this will be a great opportunity to figure out what works and what needs tweaking before the final installation takes place.

The current setup is as follows,

FLOOR PLAN

Acoustic drum kit setup. A piezo mounted on each the kick drum, floor tom, rack tom and crash cymbal.

Piezo signal running into audio interface.

Max 4 Live Audio Effect converting signal to a MIDI message.

MIDI message being received on a channel and used to control a sound/sequence.

Each drum that has a piezo mounted is triggering a chord/melody that are being sequenced together.

Having a look a Depeche Mode for some drum sound inspiration this week – Video
