Hi all,

In the Music Technology program we build musical instruments and interfaces.

We want to create new things but we also want to learn from what others are doing.

Here is a list of links of interesting projects.

The list was created in our "Arduino course" as part as BIU music technology program by the students and for the students.

(see: http://biu.ac.il/hu/mu/barilan.html התוכנית למוסיקה וטכנולוגיה באוניברסיטת בר אילן)

Enjoy!

Airpiano - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh4Ovsh2DZY
with Ableton Live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K10XB1ycT4
For more info look at the project's page at:

SynthGlove - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpLkX7X37D4
Midi controller, uses an accelerometer sensor to convert finger movements to midi messages.

Breadboard Sequencer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyQkUt-lY1g
Just a breadboard sequencer.
The first, called "Kasabian Football Hero". 
As it names says, it's the football version of Guitar Hero (again Guitar Hero. Sorry). 
The video will speak for itself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XjwoVqM_qE
Done with Piezo sensors used as knock sensors, 
for more info on that take a look here:

Second, dedicated for coffee addicts, is the "Arduino makes coffee too!".

Third, kinda cute, with an accelerometer, is the toy controller. A little interactive gaming with the Arudino:

Arduino as a standalone audio processing device. Capable of acting not unlike guitar effects processor featuring filters, delays, reverbs etc. Or a computed waveform synthesizer.
