- Constructed for my final capstone project of my Bachelor of Interaction Design program, CueBriks is an experimental attempt to take what we know about the sequencer and make it feel more like a traditional instrument. By using physical based interactions, the instrument has its own feeling and posture required by the user to be played and the nature of the analog sensors creates the subtle nuances that one may feel on a fretless bass or even a guitar. However by essentially being a midi controller, CueBriks offers a sequenced approach to playing music that makes it impossible to play music incorrectly.
Congrats for this awesome idea! It looks so cool that I will need to make one for myself. I just found out about SoftPots instead of basic linear sliders but they are kindda to expensive so I will consider doing something similar to this or maybe use laser and photosensor. Thank for an idea, love this project!!
P3Hi hey thank you! The linear sliders softpots were way outside my budget so I took the performance hit and used ultrasonic sensors instead. I also tried to get IR distance sensors working to try and cut down on size but it turned out that ultrasonic ping sensors were the best. Comment back here when you make yours !
Yes I was thinking again yesterday... Light sensors won't work OK, laser never. Maybe IR like you tried, but even there its nearly impossible to get nice reflection. One other idea is to use some 5ˇ TFT screen and make sliders using touch on it.. But first I am gonna do like you, just ordered 10pcs of sensors ;)
