This week, I worked on fine tuning the key detection and actually producing sound to fine tune it to respond naturally to ‘key presses.’ This week was presentations, so I wasn’t able to get as much done as normal but I spent a while trying to get some python libraries that produce sound to work (ran into some unexpected issues with versions and installing). I finally got one to work, so now when someone puts their hand in a note, it waits an appropriate amount of time (added a counter for this), and then presses the note and plays the actual sound on my computer (super exciting!). It looks very cool in video, but to show this I put the terminal output below, showing how the notes are generating after I move in the box.
So far, I am on schedule.
Next week, I am hoping to map gestures and get generative mode working for certain patterns.
