Davidcoo – Project 2: Leap Motion Granular Synth

In my project I created a granular synthesizer that is controlled using the leap motion. I started by using a base of the Sugar Synth that we used in class and built on that to be able to control it with using leap motion controls. By utilizing the built in detection of the leap motion, the user is able to control which value they are controlling by doing gestures with their hands (Open hand, fist and the OK symbol), Then they use their other hand to control the value by moving left and right to assign a value to the parameter they have chosen. There is a toggle to pick which hand that is controlling the value and which is controlling the parameter. The parameters that can be controlled are the speed, pitch rate, random pitch, grain size, and number of grains.

I also used the leap motion for max and built on the leap motion made in class.
