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."

    DJ Silver is playing (happy) hardcore *LIVE* from Japan, as he does each Wednesday.

    Tune in with your favourite player at http://www.di.fm/mp3/hardcore96k.pls and join the #hardcore channel on irc.di.fm :)

    There are currently just short of 750 listeners.

    Last Wednesday there were 1,054 people tuned into the most listened to 24/7 fully licensed hardcore station in the world. That was 100 more people than the previous highest count.

    Let's try and break 1,100 listeners or more today. Together we can surely do it! :D

    Thankyou to all those people who have been (and will be) tuning in :)

    More details can be found out at http://www.HappyHardcore.com or http://www.DI.fm

    Awfully sounds like the sound of a duck being sodomized, played backward.
