bosone Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 i posted this in the appropriate section of the "midibox user projects" sectino, but i'd like to repeat the announcement here... ;Dafter some days of work in august i finally terminated my AC Sensorized box based on audiocommander software (http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/acsensorizer_04)It mounts two distance sensors Sharp GP2D12 (D-BEAM like) and two external plug to connect different sensor... i tried with a breath controller and with a custom built ribbon controller, but i have to make a better design of this...more photos of the construction can be found on my page http://www.alchemystudio.it/Strumenti/ACSensorizer/ACSensorizer_en.htmland you can watch a video here of me using the distance sensor.

stryd_one Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Sweet :DDid you have to modify the sensorizer app much or is this exactly like AC's? I assume maybe you just changed some defines or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosone Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 no, the app was exactly the one provided by audiocommander.i'm not accustomed to C.... so i don't know how to start to customize things!!the only customization i made was actually an hardware one... since i had only three encoder at home (and box needed 4 encoders...) i connected one encoder to a switch, in oder to "double" it...so with the 2 position switch and one encoder i can handle both the menu selection and the sensor selection...i miss one button because i planned to use an external pedal (the pedal is absolutely necessary for autosensing)the third button you see is the "panic" one but actually i never used it, so i think i will change it to "pedal"...

mikeb Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Dude, that thing is sweet! Will it work on a keyboard without velocity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosone Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Dude, that thing is sweet! Will it work on a keyboard without velocity?it depends on what you want to do.it doesnt transmit velocity, only CC, so you have to program well your sounds...

kieran Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I watched the youtube clip, and have an idea for you.Mount the dbeam sensor on a microphone stand behind the keyboard, facing your face.Play the keyboard/synth with both hands like normal.. lean in toward the sensor/away from the sensor to control the dbeam! Then you dont have to sacrifice one hand to control it, and its a more natural position because sometimes you move close into the keys anyway when you play with feeling, and away when you go quiet.. Obviously this depends on what you're using the controller for, but I reckon it would be a far better performance tool if you did something like this.I guess the only caveat might be that if you want superfine control, it might be tough to do with your face!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosone Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 i recorded another video using a ribbon controller the details about the ribbon:http://www.alchemystudio.it/Strumenti/ACSensorizer/ACSensorizer_en.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
