For my project I decided to make simple analog synthesizer using an oscillator circuit using the reverse avalanche mode of a transistor — specifically the 2N3904 transistor. I found the circuit from Look Mum No Computer on YouTube as well as his website. The picture below is my redrawn schematic of the circuit, with the…… Continue reading Sound Studio Final

Code of Music – Final Project
I’m thinking of two ideas, one would be to expand the text analysis sketch I made for timbre, and build off of that and incorporate melody/harmony and use Markov chain(s). Or continue working on the harmony assignment and build out from there for a final project. As of now, I’m thinking of implementing a Markov…… Continue reading Code of Music – Final Project
Code of Music – Harmony
Ideas Idea 1 – I’d like to do another kind of text analysis, maybe going further using RiTa. I like the visualization from this site ‘Listen to Wikipedia’ With the text analysis, I’d have different aspects control shapes to make the visualization dynamic with lots of changes and movement, like how the circles fade in…… Continue reading Code of Music – Harmony
Haptics
Day 1 – In Class Labs / Experiments Lab 1 – Hello Vibe Motors (Blink) For these labs, myself, Jack, and McCoy all worked together. In this first part of lab 1, we uploaded the blink example to the Arduino so that vibrating motor would buzz on and off. Since this was an Arduino Nano,…… Continue reading Haptics

Code of Music – Timbre
Ideas I want to do something text based for this sketch, so my first idea was to have an input box where you can type a sentence or paste a paragraph and have that output sound. I’m unsure how I want the strings/characters to be broken down and what will trigger what kind of sound.…… Continue reading Code of Music – Timbre
Intro to Fab. – Week 6
Working with Motors So initially I played around with the idea of revisiting a couple projects from pcomp — a musical box that opened after the whole jeopardy theme song played (which had a motor held by a janky cardboard mount and an even more janky cardboard hinge) or my final pcomp project which was…… Continue reading Intro to Fab. – Week 6
Code of Music – Melody
My idea is to create a musical version of the game Pong or Breakout. Where each block you clear out can be a different note whether it’s random, within a specified scale, or range. And maybe different colored blocks can change the speed. Interactive Melody Sketch Sketch https://videopress.com/v/Ine8LANh?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true
Temporary Expert – Week 6
CRISPR – Preliminary Research Presentation Topic & Initial Impressions Honestly, my initial impression was ‘thank god’, after picking my first choice which I don’t even remember what it was now because I had no idea what it was. When I pulled CRISPR as my second and final choice I was relieved because I knew vaguely…… Continue reading Temporary Expert – Week 6
