Final project idea

I decided on a sequencer and controllers for making analogue sound, for my final project. My current vision of it is a simple sequencer where I can easily manipulate the pitch, velocity and length of individual notes. You can also change the rate and number of notes in a loop. 8 to 16 notes for starters will be enough and I can extend the project later, once I have the basics right.

For manipulating the actual sound signal I'm visioning controllers that fit in your hand. A cube, pyramid or sphere could be turned to trigger tilt sensors and they would have pressure sensors under circular living hinge areas that could also be used to affect parameters like pitch, FM modulation, waveform etc. Touch sensors and LEDs could be put under surfaces to make the casing feel more transparent.

I'm looking for an intuitive music creation kit. That's essentially what would be inside. On the surface I'm planning to have natural materials to make the whole system a pleasure to touch.

The first thing I will do is learn how to program and build a very simple sequence of notes. Alternatively I could find an existing project like this and reduce from that.

I will be updating as I progress...
