MOTION OSC CONTROLLER

A motion-based controller for guitars, designed for a live electronics performance of LEDEN. An instrument to bring more expressiveness during a performance, to give more physical control of a sound machines and laptops.

INFO

The device, mountable on the back head of the guitar between the tuning pegs, senses the orientation and movement of the instrument and sends OSC data via WI-FI to the musician’s computer. A switch to turn on and off the device and two buttons as additional control.

The data is then interpreted by MAX/MSP and Ableton Live for audio processing and effects. 

The controller is based on the Huzzah32 board and LSM9SD1 IMU sensor and works on Li-Po batteries, making it lightweight and easily installable in multiple configurations.
