This Synthesizer was Designed to Make Music Production and Performance more Accessible for Folks with Hearing Impairments #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Musical vibrations on a totally different level! From jtoda.one:
‘synesthiser’ is a digital synthesiser made for wave synthesis and playing music through vibration, in addition to sound.
Its main objective is to make music producing / performing more accessible for those who has a hearing impairment. By producing not only vibration, but also audible wave, it could widen the opportunity of desigining sound for the handicapped and non-handicapped people equally.
It has a circular top surface, and it senses pressure and rotation. Pressure determines the amplitude and modulation of the waveform. Whereas rotation changes the frequency.
The vibration comes from a transducer inside the unit. It is attached to the support layer inside the unit, thus resonating the whole exterior.
It mainly generates a low-frequency waves in order to make it feel more tactile, less harmonic.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
