DIY Airpiano

[Martin Walker]

Oh, definitely. But I need to practice a little first.

Practice? I thought you just waved your arms around a bit

I think you’re confusing it with flying.

At least air piano is something you can practice on your commute to work and back. And it has the added benefit of keeping you socially distanced.

I just took advantage of a few minutes of Saturday morning sunlight to take some better pics of the Aetherharp. Demo soon.

[Martin Walker]

Nice!

Looking forward to audio demo in due course

Nice work.
Couldn't help noticing the slightly twisted switch though - will you be able to adjust that?

Also looking forward to the demo

...yeah but trust me Folderol, no-one else except you will notice.

For the sake of balance, I'm my own worst critic and 'see' every single mistake I made on house and garden going back for years
I'll cast a veil over electronics and software

I noticed, but said nothing.

I find this all a bit underwhelming, what I’m looking forward too are "real" advances into alternative controllers, not physical, but neural, where "we" can all connect to an instrument with our thoughts, our brains, in a controllable way.
This will come, and we will see the things we have now, as just a stepping stone.

We were exploring biofeedback controlling synths 45 years ago as students at university. Over the years I have occasionally come across other’s experiments and you can buy kits now that can convert brainwaves and/or galvanic skin response and/or heart rate etc to a synth controller.

I suspect what you are looking for might involve surgery and even then for precise control I don’t think we know enough about the brain yet. But I’m with you on how cool it would be!!

I have the Leap Motion beam controller and it can be fun but not as cool as this airpiano.
