air-module

2003-03-06 by Scott Juskiw

I was just reading about the Alesis Air-Synth and thought that an 
air-module would make a good controller. Three CV outs (X, Y, Z) and 
three GATE outputs (also for X, Y, Z) with a configurable gate 
threshold. It would be very similar to having three MOTM-850s. The IR 
transmitter/receiver would not be mounted on the module, it would be 
plugged in just like a foot pedal so it could be positioned anywhere. 
Put the sensor on the ground and let animals sniff it to control your 
synth, or put a bunch of moths in a cage and let them control your 
synth. Or does the operator need to be warm blooded for the IR to 
sense them? Lots of possibilities. Way more fun than a joystick, IMHO.
