Project Proposal (Final) Synth Play

Pipeline/s

Overall (Edited) Pipeline: 

Mic – computer – little bits (arduino + cv) – audio amplifier – arp

Inside the Computer: Teachable machine to p5.js to max msp out to the analog pipeline

Themes:


Dealing with Loss – Audio Degeneration

My concept is focusing on the idea of losing someone close to you for whatever reason and I want to make a performance out of this using the arp 2600. The digital (capture ) component of this is focusing on removing various phonemes from my voice in real time to either single out or remove completely the specified sounds.

First step – get the system working to use cv to send out different qualities of the signal as a cv to control the arp. This is working

Training using teachable machine – finding it’s quirks – consistency in volume I think vocal dynamics isn’t such a great way to train this model – prediction is that it becomes confused

 

  • Current headache – Max has odd syntax quirks that aren’t currently compatible with the arduino syntax <numbers>, however they definitely want to talk to each other.There is some conversion edit I have to make. When I send information i get an error which ends the process of sending the numbers, but I get a blink confirming that my setup is almost correct. – just found out / solved it !!!

Next steps – combining the teachable machine that is in p5.js(thanks golan), into max, then getting an output – transforming that output and hence sending it out to the arp. Performance (yay)
