taquito : prototype of electronic wind instrument
11 months ago
Testing out a prototype for an electronic wind instrument.
Minimalist configuration: touch and breath sensors plus two transpose micro switches plug into an arduino board.
The prototype is playing a soft-synth over MIDI with continuous breath control.

There“s now a small project page up on the blipbox site:

cheers,

I used an MPX5010 differential pressure sensor from Freescale Semiconductors. I did a bit of research before going with this one, in terms of sensitivity, effective range et c. On the whole I'm very pleased with it - it responds quickly and is sufficiently accurate.
When connected directly to an arduino analog input it doesn't give the full 0-1024 range. It should be possible to adjust this with AREF. I opted for using an op amp to amplify the signal instead, which works well.
I've not tried any other sensors. I'd probably use this one again, or maybe try one that's slightly more sensitive if I could find one.
Hope this helps, and if you build something with a breath sensor pls let me know!
