An Arduino-based FX controller, using a Max MSP system as its sound source. The Arduino circuit uses code to receive data from the touch sensors and to communicate with the Max MSP base. The main part of this project was the circuit implementation to create an interactive audio system with inputs and outputs. The box uses the aforementioned touch sensors, which control a separate effect each: the further up the sensor is touched, the more intense the corresponding effect. There are also switches on the side to pick between melodies and voices, as well as a glide knob to adjust how quickly an effect takes place.

The Max system is similar to the one used in the Cinthie Syzer Experience, with the sounds being variations of the same project, though the melodies are all new. The FX units are also new creations, besides the 3rd – reverb – as that is a patch sourced online. As seen above, it also has the integration of a MIDI keyboard available as an option, which allows for more creativity with the inputs and lets the user play whatever they desire.
