Arduynthisizer

IDM 382: Internet of Things
Fall 2020

For this project, I worked on developing an Arduino Piano with sound that can be modified and played through a browser. I called the original product in West107 the Arduorgan, a combination of the word Arduino, and the word Organ, a large piano-like musical instrument. If I go through with that theme this project will be called the Arduynthesizer, as it is an Arduino synthesizer. The Arduynthesizer will send signals to a browser when a button is pressed on it, and the browser will produce a sound based on the settings selected in the browser. The user will control the Arduynthesizer by pressing buttons on the Arduino, and by changing settings in a browser window with sliders. These sliders will include Pitch, volume, and tone.

Goals

• Add more features to an Arduino piano I created in West107
• Make it more like a synthesizer
• Add variation to the sounds it can produce
• Make the sound to be able to be controlled and heard from a browser window
