The Theremin

What it does

Using your hands you can play two notes at the same time with varying pitch, velocity, and delay. It features a pitch correction function that you can use with some musical notes to forgive small errors or run it through multiple instances to forgive even bigger error.

How I built it

I downloaded the LeapMotion API and I looked at how the html5/javascript version worked and I just worked backwords. I then incorporated sound for the instrument.

Challenges I ran into

There is no good native sound for html5/javascript. I never tried to do MIDI sound native so I just assumed it worked and it took a lot of extra time to do this.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I did this project on my own and had a good amount of time to work on school work.

What I learned

I learned the LeapMotion library I really like this tool and may be following it so I can buy into it in the future.

What's next for LeapMotionInstrument

I don't have the hardware on my own to continue this but I may come back to this if I ever buy into the hardware.
