technicians)

- 28. How to build music robots
- 29. Why building instruments that - sound worse, - are harder
to transport - are more difficult to build and maintain .. than its
digital counterpart? Music Robots WHY?
- 30. The pyramid of sound creation The POSC explains the
connection between sound and technology. Source: GEIST
- 31. The pyramid of sound creation Music robots cover many
subjects thats what makes it so interesting.
- 32. Motivation Appealing Interaction (visuals & sound)
Making sound visible Extension of musical possibilites, hacking
music Robots as extensions from body Last but not least: world
domination
- 33. Build music Robots: Think Goal is to find a cool sound.
Through Experimentation Through planning
- 34. Build music Robots: Think Experimentation
- 35. Build music Robots: Think Planning Wanted: a cool bassdrum
sound Sinus like Clean Decaying Source:

object sounds like that in real life?
- 36. Build music Robots: Think Planning Pro Tip: ask a circuit

- 37. Build music Robots: Think Planning What physical object
sounds like that in real world?
- 38. Build music Robots: Time for the Workshop!
- 39. Build music Robots: Make Best sine wave is created by a
metal tongue Marimba like Pitch can be precisly adjustes with
tension
- 40. CAD-Construction Build music Robots: Make 3D-Printing
- 41. Electrical Circuitery Build music Robots: Make
- 42. What do we need from the electrical side? C like Atmega328
MIDI-IN: One note triggers one Actor Power Amplifier (Mosfets)
Actor: Motor, Solenoid Power supply (e.g. 12V / 10A) Case Build
music Robots: Make
- 43. Build music Robots: Make Start coding: Midi In stream Each
note triggers one Pin on the Atmega MIDI-Channel select Pitch or CC
to controll Motor speed or servo Software e.g. Arduino
- 44. Build music Robots: Make What we did so far: Build
mechanics Build electronics Programm C (Arduino)
- 45. Mechanical system imposes delay from trigger to sound
Latency within the C Latency can be up to several 100ms Latency
Control
- 46. The most important method to make music robot coordinated
playable Time manipulation of MIDI data All sounds can be heard in
time without delay Latency Control
- 47. Latency Control (1)
- 48. Latency Control (2)
- 49. Latency Control (3)
- 50. Latency control MAX/MSP
- 51. Latency control Max Msp
- 52. Latency control - Summary TOP: Needed to make robot
playable (music) Measurement: by simple I / O Tool, signal-
Response time is measured FLOP: No more live control latency is
static

- 54. Last Step: Make awesome music!
