PROJECT CONCEPT

This project aims to create a portable, flexible, and easy to use musical keyboard that lets users play sounds from many different instruments. In addition, users should be able to save compositions and play them back when desired. The prototype integrates common embedded components such as an Arduino prototyping board, tactile switches, and a Bluetooth modem, along with using an Android phone to play and record music.

MOTIVATION

Many different musical synthesizers and keyboards offer a fun and educational musical experience to both amateurs and experts, but most such devices are often heavy and cumbersome, very limited in functionaliy, or lacking in an enjoyable user interface. This project aims to provide a portable, extensible, and easy to use musical experience that will integrate with your existing smartphone for recording and playback functionality.
