Bean beat sequencer allows you to make music by placing beans on a piece of paper. The bean placement is captured by a webcam and Processing and Sonic-Pi together render the audio. 8 rows represent 8 instruments. 16 columns represent time slot. If a bean is placed in the time slot, the corresponding instrument for that row is played. |
This would be a great activity for kids.
What are you planning on doing with the project? You releasing it?
If this is done in Processing, do you think a P5.js version would work? Then anyone could just conjure this instrument up with a browser on a cell phone.
One plan is to try with people. Camera overhung and people walk below and compose music as a group!
