Computers & Mobile Music


Check out this awesome light-controlled synth “harp.” The builder explains:

The harp is connected to the impOSCar VSTi software synthesizer, the TAOS sensor array sits on the floor in it’s own stand. The array above the harp i is just made up of fs mirrors for added p’zazz.

    It would be sweet if the height of your hand intersecting with the beam would change the pitch or octave of the note.
