We have further developed our goal of creating customizable electronic instruments, using the Raspberry Pi and Makey Makey, by striving to make the devices completely wireless when used in a performance context. This week, we met with success by adding a Wi-Pi USB wireless adapter, as well as X-Mini MAX XAM15 rechargeable stereo speakers. In experimenting with solar power to run the Pi, we found what we think to be a lack of power for what the Pi is doing. We will be looking into alternative solar power options.
My 'Music Technology Lab' students are in the process of using a free iPad app called Voice Recorder Pro in order to collect a variety of sound samples. They will then save their samples to their Google Drive and open them in Ableton Live 9 Intro for further editing and sound design. Although I considered having them use Audacity for this purpose, they are already using Live for other production and music creation purposes. So I have decided to use this sampling project to also help further develop their understandings of Live.
Looking forward to brainstorming about the design component of the instruments!
