has anyone good ideas for weirdo midi input/sound manipulation devices? already got a playstation dualshock controller as a kaosspad substitute, but there has to be more funky stuff like that? i'd love to have a gk setup for my bass guitar, but funds are like, zero. |

i borrowed a signal generator from my old school physics department. great fun. i wish i stole it |

I build and sell these for £20. Tell me if you want one and I'll drill the holes to suit your needs (controls on top or side of box). |

Sorry, forgot about Controllers. It doesn't do any controlling, just modulation and oscillation. Check the demo on the first link. |

I've partly designed a nice sitar/guitar multi-ribbon ribbon controller for midi. It's got 4 ribbons and produces midi data. I haven't had time to code the PIC to do the midi, but it's fairly trivial... (digitise analogue voltage, send it as a CC data type) rinse and repeat. The idea is to use a conductive antistatic BLACK bag and solderwick. The solder wick is stretched out over the bag, but doesn't touch it. +5V at one end of bag, 0V at other. placing finger (or other part of body ;) ) on the solderwick touches down on potential divider formed by bag and taps off the varying voltage. voltage is quantised between 0x00 and 0xFF to give 256 levels sent as midi data by a PIC. I've never actually got round to building the thing, or infact coding the PIC, but maybe I will one day. (yeah right) ----- Another idea is to make a very cheap and nasty breath controller from a whistle and transducer. Get an ultrasonic dog whistle (so you can't hear it when you blow it) and attach an ultrasonic transducer. amount of blow into whistle = louder ultrasound = more volts out of transducer. the voltage can be routed to anything you want...pitch, volume, fx, whatever. ----- you can make a nice midi drum pad kit with a PIC and some piezo transducers. hit the piezo, this triggers PIC. ----- envelope follower can make wild effects. connect it to the output of your synth via delay/reverb and let it modulate something for superb effects. use a microphone to drive it and wave it around the stereo field or whatever (works well with differences between left and right channels) ------ just buy alesis airfx, im sure that has midi out :) |

theres a program called Junxtion that costs 30 bucks. It allows you to plug in ANY usb controller, and it automatically maps the functions of it, and you can assign any midi messages you want. 30 bucks for software + a thrift shop/yard sale spree, and youll be in controller heaven |
