University now only a memory – I’m back in the really world with my 2:1 Degree.
Not really up for working in the industry I’m quite happy with my Primary job (Running the family business – Pub) – and using my computer skills in the freelance sector.
You can see my site at;
The ability to perform complex drumming patterns and generating quality beats with everyday objects and drum sticks. No technology at all.
I was finally able to arrange a testing session with Tony, a very good drummer. We worked on my project for a few hours calibrating, changing, editing, stripping and simplifying my code. It was realised that I originally attempted to allow for too many drum sounds, and because of movement and sensitivity issues the output sound was poor, and contained errors. There is a massive difference between the video at the start of the day and the video from the end. The button nun-chuks works fine for the foot actions, but the general weight, shape, feeling and lack of tactile response results in a sore wrist after short periods of use.
With the deadline closing I’m becoming increasingly concerned about the fact that I feel slightly lost. After working on my project all day after my meeting I did not really need to see this youtube video, as it does everything I originally wanted to do, but so much better. My project purpose is now under going a serious rethink. Tick, tock, tick, tock…..
After seeing my project tutor today its clear that my project needs some serious improvements or changes in fully accomplish what I original set out to do, which was to use to Wii controllers to allow the user to learning how to play the drums.
Unfortunately, my project which uses mainly uses GlovePIE seems to lag slightly for the midi response output sound. Due to the project being heavily reliant on timing, this is a major problem.
I can basically sacrifice another day into researching if I can accomplish my task using WiiFlash. I’ve already looked at it, but choose GlovePIE due to quick progress and familiarity.
Fingers crossed now, time is short…..
