I'm trying to design two musical instruments with the help of Wiimote and Osculator. but I'm not familiar with the world of programming, so I need your help and suggestions, at least I want to figure out what is possible and what isn't..
Both of my ideas are based on usage of IR Leds in front of Wiimote. Leds installed into gloves or finger rings for hand-tracking.
First I want to build classic theremin-like instrument (right hand controlling the pitch, left hand - volume or other assignable characteristic of synthesizer )
Another idea is to design a kind of "fantom-harp" on the base of this 'theremin' - in this case right hand is 'moving' over the harp strings and triggering new note each time the pitch changes (like an example in video demonstration of Wii and Kyma ) and left hand change predetermined harmonies/scales (discretely or softly - like a pedal changes on steel guitar.. )
I want to now if it's possible just with a help of Wii + Osculator + sound-source synthesizer,
or I need special software for hand tracking and some kind of modular software to emulate "harp"..?
Of course it would be better for me to keep the simplicity and use Osculator only (I really don't want to dig into programming, I just have no time for it.. ) but if it is impossible I'm thinking about getting Max 4 Live for Wii experiments.. Do you thing M4L suited to my needs?
Thanks in advance for any answers, ideas, suggestions..
