Progress!

The musical part of our project is progressing fairly well. Victoria has been making the different 
beats for the metal cube, while Carina has been working on the melody that we will be using. We 
combined the metal beat to the melody for the wood cube and were quite satisfied with the result.
Things are finally starting to sound more like music.

This week we also started looking into adressable LEDs, as well as how to organize the music in
PureData. Until now, we’ve not known how to order them correctly, or how to get a smooth 
transition between slider levels. We’ve tried to solve this with the Pd native functions spigot and 
moses, which are essentially ifs and if-elses, as well as making a timer to trigger the sound. There
is still a lot of work ahead of us when it comes to this system and making it run smoothly with the 
sound files, but we are making progress.

 Additionally, we’ve developed a system for storing the different sound files, so that we can easily
add them to our prototype in PureData, and keep order. Every file gets a 4 digit code, 
corresponding to it’s designated slider, material, intensity, and part. For the drum of wood, intensity
3 and part 1, the code would be dw31. As such it is easy to identify, and add to PureData.

Go us!

Report from Rockheim

When our model arrived at Rockheim, the stage was set for the world to witness SoundCubed. At first we were having rather major issues with the RFID sensor, who decided to take the day off on Sunday. We were therefore somewhat worried that this would continue on Monday. Luckily it didn’t... The model worked rather flawlessly, and we quickly forgave the unfortunate behaviour of the past day. In terms of feedback from the audience, it was very positive. Not only did those who try it say it was cool, it also showed on their emotional response and the fact that many spent considerable time testing the model. This was exactly how we intended it to be used; no rules/manual, just exploration. The employees at Rockheim were also positive in their feedback, and asked us to exhibit the model for a weekend. During this exhibition, we also received much positive response from the outside visitors. As for the external sensor, we didn’t catch who it was… So we don’t know.     ...
