For my project 1 I decided to try and make an instrument out of my computer. I separated out the keys into distinct regions and assigned them midi values based on where they were on the keyboard. I then used these note values in different modes to produce different sounds. I also included a boomerang effect that allows the user to record a short piece of audio and then the patch loops it and repeatedly plays it. I created ten drum sound effects by filtering noise in different ways. The main instrument portion is a square wave filtered in a similar way to make the note sound less harsh. The last mode is a saw tooth tremolo that repeated plays the same not so long as it is held. The launch pad is polyphonic and can export the sound in the loop buffer.
