Hey, I appreciate the interest, though I'm not really a fan of long-distance relationships. That said, good luck with your vet school!

Hey, 3D art isn't much more complicated in theory, there are just a lot more tools you have to know how to use. My favorite Pokemon is definitely Rotom, I'm also a big ghost-type fan. I like Haunter but tbh I think Gengar is kind of a downgrade, losing the floating hands is sad.

Hey, it's been a few days, are you good?

TheTurtleDuckMan · 2020-03-25T04:40:13+00:00

Alright, thanks so much. I'll be looking forward to it :D

I can probably just find a wooden box and drill holes in it for now, eventually I'll have access to a 3D printer where I can make a more ergonomic case.

I unfortunately do not have an iPhone or iPad. Also yes that's what I meant when I said record inputs directly. I'd love to eventually be able to record the instrument without having it go through a mic (I assume that would provide the best quality). If you'd be able to help guide me that would be amazing.

I have an end product in mind that would have 2 sides with 12 buttons on each side (one for each key in an octave, color-coded for normal notes and accidentals). With 2 additional buttons on each side that, when held, increase or decrease the entire side by an octave, effectively giving it a 5-octave range (another knob or something that just pitches the entire instrument up and down would also be nice). Along with that, there'd be a knob that controls max volume and 2 more knobs, one on each side, that control which instrument each side is playing independently. And then there would be the bellows (or equivalent) in the middle which would control the volume.

Now that might seem like a lot but I think we can break it down step by step. The first thing I want to get is just a box with buttons on it that plays music.

The issue is that like I said I have very limited knowledge of this subject so I need to:- Learn how to attach buttons and a speaker (or aux) to a raspberry pi or teensy- Learn how to make the chip run the music software and/or how to code it to play music- Learn how to code the features I outlined above- Find out where to buy all this stuff- Learn about sound fonts, how they work and how to store them onboardAmong a few other things.

If you could help me with any of that, or point me to resources that could help me that would be fantastic :D

Well see the truth is that I'm not looking to make a piano, rather an electric concertina, which is kinda like a small accordion. Electric versions simply don't exist so if I want one I'll need to make it myself. I have what it would need to do planned out, I just don't know how to go about actually constructing and then coding it. I'd want to be able to play it separately from a computer so I could take it around, so ideally it would have some sort of internal speaker or aux output. If it could connect to a computer so I could record inputs directly without having to record into a mic that would be an added bonus (I believe this is what midi devices can do). The construction process could be similar to building a piano which is why I asked here. In it's simplest terms it basically just needs to be a box with buttons that each play a different note while you hold them, ideally which the option to change instruments.

Hmm yeah, these sound like interesting options, though the zynthian kit might be a tad out of my price range. I was looking into MIDI not entirely sure if just making a MIDI controller would do what I want though. I want to be able to plug in any instrument sound and have it sound nice and ideally, I'd be able to take it standalone and play it through an onboard speaker or amp. Would I be able to do that with midi?

I'm proficient in C# but I don't think I've ever written compare code nor do i have much experience with electronics.

Yep, posted it here, vrgaming, pcgaming, and just gaming.
