Beat Boxxx 1.0
Here is my project for the arduino sound assignment.
Basically I wanted to combine an old school/do it yourself 80’s nerd feeling with the old-school/do it yourself 80’s break dancing/hip hop feel. I also wanted to create something that could be sold as a kit for a very reasonable price and would allow people to create their own custom beat boxes that would be uniquely theirs. I also see opportunity for releasing a line of artist-based boxes, either in somewhat limited quantities or as one-off truly custom units that could be sold for charity.
Beat Boxx is an interactive beat creator and recorder that allows users to lay down digital loops of blips and beeps or perform them live. Through the use of gesture based beat selection, users can choose to either perform live or record a sample and endlessly loop it. Simple and affordable, Beat Boxx is available as both a pre-made ready to go unit and as a user buildable/customizable kit.

:: My First Robot ::
My First Robot is a “book” for young children (ages 1 – 3), intended as an introduction to sensory input and output. Designer, Kirsten Halterman created this book to excite children about small electronics and robots. This book gives parents a platform to discuss depth, sound, and touch.

Final Prototype – Diver
Final prototype – Diver is an instrument inspired by old Analog Sequencers and Theremins. It allows creating a four-note looped melody which can be manipulated in real-time with knobs that can assign upto 5 octaves for each note. Each knob lights up to indicate it’s position in the loop.
The top of Diver houses a sensor which can be used to control the tempo of the loop in real-time. Use Diver in live performances or at home to produce awesome loops, melodies and special effects.

Cymatic 3Form Waves
3from Waves is a merging of the 3 types of wave forms in a sound piece. The piece is inspired by the Theremin instrument – typically used in movies and some songs. The 3 wave forms visualized here are
light waves, sound waves and water waves. A speaker vibrates water in a clear dish according to sound frequencies controlled by a knob&equilizer. Light is projected from underneath so that you can visualize the sound on the ceiling at night or perhaps a revenge of the nerds party? The speaker woofer in this project uses a petri dish like surface that contains liquid. When a sound signal from the Arduino (through amp found in trash!) hits the electromagnetic wires underneath the dish, it causes vibrations (repulsion and attraction from a magnet) and repititave ripple patterns – "cymatics". The piece is basically the same as any regular speaker without the metal basket, foam surrounds and liquid. Pictures below.1. Light waves which are electromagnetic radiation waves visible to the human eye.
2. Water waves - micro and macro – water drops, pools, in sinks etc.
3. Sound waves hitting our ear drums.Prototype that didnt work out too well, there wasn't enough juice in the Arduino signal to power things up.
