Makey Makey Wind Chimes #makeymakey #makeymakeymonday

Here’s a MaKey-MaKey project built around a wind chimes type instrument — run through Max6 to trigger chime-like tones and punch up the dynamics a bit. (via the makeymakey fourms)

I built a set of wind chimes using my Makey Makey (arrived yesterday!). I used Max/MSP to convert the keyboard inputs to MIDI notes and used a simple synth to produce chime tones. I wrapped some cutlery in foil to make it more conductive; forks as key inputs, knives as the ground.

Electric Wind Chimes using Makey Makey (Arduino) and Max 6. Hopefully this will be the first of many inventions
