Noisy Notes

Quirky and fun to play (albeit a bit dissonant) touch-controlled musical instrument!

We used a ribbon controller (potentiometer), Arduino, and speaker to map the user's finger position to a specific frequency. We also used addressable LEDs to guide the user in playing a basic song. We mounted the whole thing on wood and laser-cut acrylic and customized it to look like a frog :D
