- Research more types of piezo devices for the guitar sensors.
- Rationale: Pickups are currently more than a $100. Even though we have the budget for it, I want to ensure that the saddles are the only option before I move ahead.
- Circuitry schematic in the works.
- Looking into methods of testing without matrix PCB for rationalizing if current design choices will be viable.
Aaqib’s Status Report (9/26)
- Researched piezo pickups and implementation to analyze drum’s frequency.
- Considering different methodologies of pickup filtering for quality audio (and also so that I don’t create a crater on the Teensy).
- Slightly behind schedule; however, I should be able to achieve required implementations which include piezo mounting, wiring and testing along with calibrations.
Aaqib Status Report (9/19)
Ongoing:
- Learning of MIDI language and relevant protocols. As a side, I am also researching on whether it is possible to encode a MIDI note with intensity in some way to further enhance the music quality.
- Research on Piezo Pickups
- Research on existing MIDI guitars and relevant equipment to model our own equipment with.
