Arduino + Accelerometer == DIY music controller

This Gadget Master was facing his Physical Computing and Max MSP finals, and the great project he came up with was... To create a motion-sensitive music controller. It's Tilt to Play!

Physical Computing - Final Project - Max MSP Controller from Ryan Raffa on Vimeo.

Ryan writes:
I made a controller that uses an ADXL 335 Accelerometer and an Arduino board that communicates serially with Max MSP. The Max MSP patch is a simple sequencer that allows for delay on all tracks.

The controller has inputs for 5 tracks, and the 6th button applies the delay affect on all tracks...The buttons are connected to Digital Pins 2 through 6, and the LED's are connected to Digital Pins 9 through 13. The acceleromter X axis is connected to analogue Pin 0, and the Y axis is connected to analogue Pin 1.
You can find the full details on his website, including links to the Max MSP code (plus the abstraction) and the Arduino code.

Thanks to Engadget for flagging this one.

Wrap it in a stylish box and DJs will surly pay huge sums of money for it. :)
