About the workshop

A two-day workshop on building and using a wireless MIDI controller for music creators!

During the first part of the workshop, we will focus on the construction and configuration of a digital device consisting of an Arduino microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor and a battery. We will use the device to send real-time sensor values to a computer over a wireless network using the MQTT protocol.

In the following, we will explore the different ways in which this type of technology can be used in music and wider artistic creation. We will use Abletone live and the Max for Live interfaces to connect to our pre-built controllers, and use the data from their sensors to generate MIDI values and map these values to sound effects.

The main goal of the workshop is to stimulate thinking about the possibilities of using this kind of technology and to test such a device in practice.

Technologies used: Arduino, MQTT broker, Max for Live
