With this project using sound, I wanted to create an instrument. So, I decided to choose a violin. In this project, I represent the violin in a simple manner and have it close up. I initiate the sound of open G, D, A, and E strings by the mouseX position. When the mouseX position is not in bounds of the parameters, the sound stops. Slight overlaps in the parameters are used to create better sounding transitions between open strings.
