KineSynth

Kinect-controlled granular synthesizer

Skills

  • Audio programming
  • Interactive Design

This was the final project of the Audio Programming class. I thought it would be interesting to implement some gestures for controlling the parameters of a granular synth by using Kinect. The synth was programmed from scratch in the Max visual language. The communication between Max and Kinect was achieved with Synapse (an app that sends OSC messages to Max). You can get the code here.
