Let’s Create a Ribbon Synth! (Arduino + Max/MSP Or Pure Data)
We’ll use the SoftPot Membrane Potentiometer (ribbon sensor) and Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) strip to create a 2-dimensional ribbon synth musical instrument!! Control the pitch with the ribbon sensor and modulate the sound with the force sensor!
And we’ll use Arduino and Max/MSP or Pure Data.
