An Audio Sampler Rube Goldberg Would Love

Posted by timothy on from the let's-test-ourmedia dept.

Thiago writes "Here is an audio sampler I made with 4 IR LEDs and 4 IR sensors. When something reflective goes by one of the sensor/LED combos, it triggers an event on the computer. On the videos, I mount the device on a turntable and use coins to trigger sound samples of my choice. I'd also like to make the project open-source (or whatever applies to hardware) but know nothing about licenses for this."

    I'd describe this as a sequencer, not a sampler.
