The Circles

The sounds

I experimented with different sounds in garage band and found myself with a large variations of sounds. I made 2 videos to show the possible sounds that could of been used and my final sounds.

I chose these sounds for my final because i wanted the sounds to b pleasant to the ear. It is like a wind chime effect at different levels of pitch.

Development

Once the two had been combined this was the final product of the design.

The Circles

 The basic sound code had been done but it was to plain and it didn't interact with the user as much as i wanted it to so i placed moving circles in over top of the keys. I did these to that while you are making music you are distracted by the balls. so that if you move your mouse around a ball it would also make a musical sound with out the intent of making a sound.

 The Keys

Once one had been made i the duplicated the keys and placed them different heights. I height of the keys determine the pitch of the sound. I also decided to go with the mouseMoved rather then mouseClicked. This is because it seemed it would be easier to interact with and make a relatively nice sounding sequence of noise if the mouse ran over a key

The Key

I want to make a key board like simulator. So the first thing i did was make a single key to try and understand how to place sound just in one key. if i could understand this then i will be able to make a lot more variations with different pitched sounds. after exploring and experimenting i found out how to do this.

Sound and Code

With Ben Jacks  Tutorial i learned how to place sound in a code. Playing with where the sound was played when clicked

I like the idea of creating something physical through coding and i feel that using the idea of keys could make a nice application

The sound of wind crimes is very pleasant and relaxing. The sounds that they create are very elegant and beautiful. This is how I would like my application to be. I would want it to generate similar sounds.
