The bmp testing result of 4 tracks

For the previous assignment, I made a rain praying instrument, with 4 different tracks representing how different types of rain sounds to me. I noticed that these 4 tracks all have different bpm,(tested with https://tunebat.com/Analyzer) and I want to make them more of a cohesive instrument. Thus, I set the global bpm to 120, and adjust the playback rate of each tracks. Also, I’ve added quantization to the instrument.

Also, I noticed that, for the previous design, this instrument can only play 2 sounds at a time. (one sound for each hand) So I added the feet position as input as well. In this progress, I came to the realization of the lack of accessibility of this project. This instrument can only be activated when people use either their hands or their knees to point at certain wall, which is physically demanding. I’m still figuring out how to design easier poses for more diverse group of people to use this.

Here is the final result:

<aside>

Possible Adjustment:

• Due to quantization, there’s a time lag between the visual and the sound, which I don't appreciate, need to book office hour for figuring this
• Think about measure to increase the accessibility of this project.
• Lerp the skeleton please </aside>
