The P.V.B

2011, physical-computing, music

I developed a mechanical device implanted inside the piano.
A system of switches in strategic points turned on by the touch of the keys.
The electric signals, translated by the computer, are projected as colors, shapes
and images on to screens around the piano.

New Features:

Split screens notes divided to right and left:

Right hand #1-24 control right or upper side of the screen.
Left hand #25-48 control left or bottom.

Full screen mode (still available), Right and Left, Up and Down, split two screen left and right.

The Pedal
No more timing with configuration files.
The pedal is the 49th switch, allows modes changing while playing.
