Making Sound with Sensors

Often one wants to trigger "some sort of sound" with sensors. Deciding what setup to use for this depends a lot on:

  • the kind of sound you want to make: 8bit music, synthesized sound, playback sound files and modification of sound files (granular synthesis...)....
  • your previous knowledge in different software such as: arduino, processing, pure data, max/msp, vvvv, audacity, ableton....
  • how much time you have :-)

Hardware + Software Examples

Here are a few setups that have been used by S&&O over the years:

Arduino Sound (synthesized 8bit sound)

making 8-bit sound with Tone function or with Mozzi sound library

Teensy Sound (triggering samples or synthesizing using the teensy sound library)

triggering samples on an SD card or synthesizing using the teensy sound library

Pure Data Sound (synthesized sound, playback sound, sound effects)

Communicating Bodies PD Patches: Sensors to Pure Data via Serial Port or MQTT, triggering sound samples and granular synthesis


Max Sound (synthesized sound, playback sound, sound effects)

Connection Kit by Ableton - "If you’ve been looking to use Live with technologies like Arduino, LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 and OSC, this free set of Max for Live devices provides exactly what you need."
