Prompt:
Create a music-making system using Arduino to connect triggers and controls and Processing to play sounds.
Create a physical interface to control your music machine
Create a software program to obey your interface
Create visuals to accompany your music
DDR Machine
My project is inspired by the DDR dance game. The physical interface mimics the dance pad and the corresponding visuals & music relate to DDR music and how players trigger music through stepping on arrows.
DDR Machine Physical Interface
DDR Machine Virtual Interface
Details: This machine contains pre-recorded sounds and you can mix them up and play them for a live performance like DJing. To trigger the audio files, you press the four buttons laid out similarly to the dance pad with left, top, right, and bottom arrow buttons that each trigger a different sound.
The visuals on the virtual interface bring up a dance pad matching the physical machine but there is also a combo counter that counts how many times you press the buttons.
