The idea is to augment a bass guitar to | |||
# extend the range of sounds it can make | |||
# control realtime effects with it. | |||
===Goal 1: Drum triggering=== | |||
Triggering drum sounds while playing. For example, having low-pitched notes trigger kick-drum sounds and high pitched ones trigger snare-drum sounds. | |||
===Goal 2: Control via inclination=== | |||
Making the neck's inclination control an effect. For example, tilting it up increases a reverb's room size. | |||
===Hardware=== | |||
* A cheap Cort bass, doesn't sound too good but looks pretty. | |||
* [http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120796072992#ht_1208wt_1110 Contact microphones] | |||
