Makey Makey Audio Player Sketch – Hello, Gordon

For my audio player sketch, I chose to use voice lines from a great Youtube series my roommates and I have been watching, “Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware”. In order to sense the oven door, I used some tinfoil at the bottom that gets crushed to push the button when you open the…

Makey Makey Audio Player Sketch

Here is a video of me successfully getting the sound output to work and making a knocking/footstep noise each time I touch the coin. The green clip is connected to from Earth to ground (me) and the yellow clip is connected from the click on the Makey Makey board to the conductive coin. So each…

Makey Makey Audio Player Sketch – Musical Drawers (and knives)

I connected my Makey Makey to the metal drawer handles on my desk so when you touch the handles it plays a different note. I also had to use two knives for the last two inputs because the alligator clip wires they provide are so short that they wouldn’t reach any of my other drawers….

Makey Makey Veggie Audio

I connected a piece of lettuce, a snow pea, a tomato, and a carrot to the Makey Makey. I did not want the food to go to waste so I gave it to my guinea pigs. My plan was to tap the veggie so it will state it’s name for when the guinea pigs bit…

Makey Makey Audio Player Sketch – Sound Collage

For my audio player sketch, I decided to find some sounds on freesound.org to create a beach/beach house ambient soundscape. There is a sound for waves, seagulls, a boat’s foghorn, wind chimes, and a barking dog. Using the master Makey Makey patch in Max, I bound the waves sound to the spacebar and the other…

Audio Player Sketch – Dadaist Word Salad Poem

I created a basic patch in Max to control my MakeyMakey, and assign sound cues to each button. I chose to record myself saying 4 words that came to mind when I thought of quarantine. Since the canvas description listed this type of project as a “Word Salad” I chose to use a fork, knife,…

Makey Makey Audio Sketch

Created a basic patch in Max to take in keyboard input and play audio files. Then the MakeyMakey board triggered keyboard input playing the sounds. I used 5 sounds. A kick, a snap, 2 chords, and an effect I made in Ableton Live by adding some reverb and delay to a slide flute I played….
