@karmanyaahm0I captured the first waveform on my new oscilloscope!!! This is from my pocket PCB piano (prev. musical keyboard) speaker output. Effectively the output of a 555 timer!!! So exciting!!
@karmanyaahm0Electronic Piano PCB ordered! Jam coming soonโข. The gold/silver/circular pads are surfaces connected to capacitive touch sensors (they detect your finger by how it forms a capacitor with the circuit). I have different layers on those to experiment with which finish works best for touch detection in this design. But whenever each key detects touch, it allows the capacitor of the 555 timer (a frequency generator) to be charged at a rate determined by the variable resistor for that key (the potentiometers are at the top). Those potentiometers can be tuned to allow for different frequencies for each key. Then, the 555 timer outputs a signal into the speaker circuit, which you can then hear!
What are your cool name ideas for this PCB? The best suggestion gets to be the jam title!
@BrightLi0did some hw, piano, and some scioly today. Started playing around with a circuit design for detector
@msw0riffing from a recent trip to california. kinda got in a trance and kept playing the same thing@jzaleta0After 399 days my streak has officially come to the first place with the 400th day today! :tw_tada::fireball::parrotdad: I started last year just as something to do when I joined Hack Club :hack-club: but it have become a great way to keep small updates of the things I've been working on and learning. So for today, besides celebrating this, I finished my code and add more documentation updates for github.com/javierzaleta/splatter-paint(please consider starring it โญ on GitHub!) and made a piano website with another workshop ๐น that I'll share soon besides a JavaScript :javascript: music visualizer. Also, I just need to wait one more day for my last Hacktoberfest PR :hacktoberfest-2022: to be accepted and sadly I missed Sal Khan's AMA. :sadge::khan-academy:
@caleb0okay so i kept forgetting to do #10-days-in-public. then i did some self-reflection, hit a minor emotional crisis, etc., and realized i should be doing something else.
Day 1 of writing a li'l song and throwing it into the void@Lucas0playing piano in the rain โ๏ธ ๐น
@TheRealR1ke0Today I decided to record and edit some piano music. I think it ended very good.@TheRealR1ke0Piano is pog@TheRealR1ke0Talking with @BenjaminSmith . We talked a bit about everthing and played a bit of piano for him ๐น .
@AnthonyKuang0when i moved to Irvine a month ago, I couldnโt bring my piano. Excited to say that i got a roland in a music store today! been playing all day, making progress on this massive Orange cover (from ylia) โค๏ธ@TheRealR1ke0When piano and Minecraft combine, beautiful things can append.@kayley0Rented out a practice room today, recorded for my audition, and spent the rest of the two hours playing and improvising piano from memory.@onrisky0Just realized I got stuck in this piano piece, I think I am gonna move and try to learn another one@Jupiter0Well I'm not going to be a piano player anytime soon@sporeball0finally! it took the better part of a year, but i actually managed to build a modular synthesizer!!!
@blakedfreeman0Been learning โhouse of the rising sunโ and my thumb feels like itโs going to fall off
@kayley0๐น Haven't played the piano in awhile, so decided to randomly sightread a piece; could have gone a lot better.@sampoder0Hey there small but (i hope) cool ship! So I got sidetracked whilst making a workshop and have made a global piano! Powered by Socket.io you can now play the piano on the site and it will brodcast to everyone else on the site!
If no one else is online, open up multiple browser tabs and test it out! Attached is a demo video!
link: piano-global.sampoder.repl.co(i made it in 20ish min so idk if there are any glitches, also sorry no mobile support as it needs a keyboard)@clairebookworm0love barenboim!@winston0Just got home, had to drive 45 minutes to pick up some stuff for school, going to watch the nba later, going to eat dinner i think fried rice? not sure ๐ , worked on my project, learning tons of cool things w backend and some frontend as well, joined #matthews-brain-dump which is honestly one of the best channels iโm in, practiced TONS of my music, and had school which made my eyes strain but I went to the beach to take a break so its all good now. I found out that the beach is super relaxing and the sounds of waves can literally be perfect meditation and wash away all your worries and problems. Also, the sand is super soft, no hard big rocks, and there is literally no one there on weekdays aka i hv a private beach all to myself.
Hereโs some piano ๐@alexa0Got into playing an old piece. This one was a ringer
@carrot0An hour of my life learning this and recording it, totally worth it :meow-party:. The rhythm's kinda off but hey, whatever :bro:@carrot0Shitpost shitpost don't mind the heavy breathing :blobfearsweat:@tetraoxygen0Played the keyboard some today, but it wasnโt good enough to share (also epic desk reveal /s)
@elizabethq0Some nice beatsย ๐ถ (ok don't roast my music taste)

unfortunately I can't listen to Classical Music since then I'll start realllyy enjoying it and analyzing it and listening to 10000 interpretationsย ๐ข
I'm chilling a bit with music. It's 2:42 pm and I haven't eaten lunch yet (I'm not hungry? Hmm)
This summer went by a bit fast. I completely left the HOPE Project (hopepiano.org) and removed myself of my Co-Executive Director position. I think things were expanding a lot and while I had a lot of plans I don't think the whole board was ready. There were really heartbreaking internal problems and I wasn't informed of them until the last minute, and I thought I couldn't take it anymore. Through this project, I really learned a heck ton about leadership, working with people from around the world, converting between timezones (lol), learned using new tech, and more. I think HOPE might be suspended for right now, but I'm not sure. I've met and got the amazing opportunity to work with some of the coolest people through this organization, and I wish it the best. โค๏ธ
@carrot0Uhh... so here's some attempted improv in lydian... This is just for scrapbook ignore or you'll go deaf :blobnomcookie:@toyatakahashi5220For my friendโs birthday. CAD model of a piano. Will 3D print next ๐
@kayley0๐นI played piano today (probably the first time Iโve touched it in close to a year). Not bad, I guess, I played City of Stars and another piece ๐ . It was just really really fun playing piano again.@midhun121m0Waiting for hardware.... So working on my talents ๐...
@elizabethq0Ah yes and I have listened to about 10 concertos in the past 2 daysย ๐น
@elizabethq0I've been working on preparing for a webinar for the HOPE Project! (Harmonies of Pianists Everywhere; linktr.ee/hopepiano) It's free and is open to ALL musicians: we have some expert panelists speaking to us about Effective Practicing! It's not too late to sign up; I'll be hosting ๐
@itsmingjie0Itโs been 5 years since I got this piano and this is the first time Iโm setting up MIDI input and paddle shortcuts on it! I guess I can finally record down my random melody ideas now@hello0Session 2 of my journey of learning how to improve on piano (I don't expect these to sound good โ they're like the "before" part of a "before + after"). During my 1st session last week I kept in mind nothing except to generally stay in the same key. Since then I've reviewed chords a bit + watched some relevant videos, but it's all been pretty passive + I haven't practiced the concepts yet. Today I added some left-hand chords + continued exploring melodies in various keys, but being so out of practice made it hard for my hands to coordinate. I think I'll see rapid improvement once I review my chords more actively + practice playing different progressions ๐น
