First Idea
The rough sketch below is our initial idea of sqeeze-A-Tune. Users
can control the device by pressing and bending it. As the pressure
is detected, it will be mapped to
the output sound.
Mapping the input to sound
One possible solution we had in mind is to map the pitch to the
position, the sound/sample/filter/whatever to the direction and
the volume to the intensity of the pressure. We plan to implement
several of the following modes:
- One note per sensor - this won't sound good, but will be easiest
to implement
- Continuous pitch - interpolate the output of several sensors
to determine the pitch. Will probably sound horrible, but might
be used to play real songs. Maybe put colored marks on the surface
to show the position of notes.
- Only produce well-sounding chords are played when several sensors
are pressed at the same time - might be difficult to implement.
- Filter mode - use the Squeeze-A-Tune to modify the sound of
a recording or someone else's performance.
