Soundlighter Soundlighter is an audiovisual installation based on the relationship between light and sound and the exploration of their mutual influence in real time. Using liquid as a medium for the visualization of sound waves which transform its surface into a dance of reflections and shadows, the resulting image is projected onto a curved mirror and in turn reflected onto a cylindrical screen. Behind the screen, sensors stimulated by the changing ratios of light and shadow in the image, synthesize a waveform (sound) that again acts upon the surface of the liquid thus completing the repeating cycle of ever changing light and sound textures.

It was produced by Zavod Projekt Atol and Ljudmila with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Galerija Alkatraz. Official Soundlighter page at soundlighter.com.
Drum Machine V2 I recently upgraded the drum machine based on Arduino MEGA. It has many new features. The sound quality has improved. It has now a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. When you enter the Edit mode, you can choose between internal and external sync. It is possible now to Stop, Play and Continue playing the pattern. You can also choose the number of steps of the pattern (from 1 to 16). You can trigger the sounds through MIDI (on MIDI channel 10) or with three buttons (only in Edit mode). I also put a passive RC Low Pass filter that can help you to get rid of the annoying frequency caused by PWM. I will make the source code available soon. The hardware remains the same as in the older version, exept for the MIDI I/O circuit and the Low Pass filter. So you can start building the old version and then upgrade to this. To get the instructions send me an email at mitjacerkvenik AT gmail.com with the subject Arduino Drum Machine Code. You will get an automatic reply. Please donate.

Drum Machine Synthesizer Arduino MEGA was used for the drum machine and Arduino UNO for the synth module with a MIDI input. Both are enclosed in a "groovebox". Output through PWM, 8 bit resolution, 31372,55 Hz sample rate. I have to thank the authors of Auduino. My project started from it and here is the result.
