E-Shell: a MIDI wind shell

Some pics and one video:

Very atmospheric. I suppose you could use the MIDI to generate trumpets and other samples? Do you incorporate an accelerometer as well as the wind pressure itself?

Thank you :slight_smile:
Yes, sounds are generated by an external midi-expander (hw or sw), connected to the "shell". I didn't incorporate any accelerometer in this project. But I love MEMS accelerators/inclinometers/gyros, by the way...

Great, this is my kind of project. :slight_smile:

Fantastic idea to use a shell. On the video your fingers seem to be doing something. Is it just pressure -> note or pressure -> volume and the note comes from somewhere else?

Hi Mike, thank you 4 your appreciation :slight_smile:

Sensors work in this way:
pressure sensor --> controls volume
slider (inside the shell) --> controls pitch
button (inside the shell) --> controls note-on command

Next step will be sostituting the slider with an "empty volume mesurement/evaluating device" that i'm trying to make.
