My idea is to create | My idea is to create a simple music instrument installation using Max/Msp. At the end we should be able to play music with the laptop keyboard, just like the application "Garage Band" or piano app on mobile phones. | ||

The main function I would use is the sequencer we learned at the beginning in class. I would also find the chart that compares tunes with frequency of sound to make a complete scale of music. | The main function I would use is the sequencer we learned at the beginning in class.

==3. First try: build the keyboard and try to play a simple song== | |||
So I built a keyboard according to the frequency of central c to high c. And i tried to play the "Ode To Joy" with it. I also recorded the song and the whole scale of all tones. | |||
Here are some problems I found: | |||
1\ The keyboard cannot be played very fluently. it may result from the delay of a single note. | |||
2\ the music keyboard is unlikely to range widely due to the keyboard of laptop has limited letters. | |||
Next i will try to solve the first problem and continue to relate this keyboard to Arduino led lights. | |||
