Simulating Chords using sound
Hello mates. I have some questions regarding the sound order.
1. Using SOUND, you can play one note at a time. If you are having a chord, say c-e-g, could you emulate that by sending the single notes very fast after one another, so cegcegcegceg and each chord a fraction of a second.
2. Can you use SOUND via Transistor, too?
So instead of
Pin --- | | --- Speaker --- GND
this
Pin --- | | --- Resistor --- Transistor --- Speaker --- GND, by using a emitter follower.
|
Still interested.

Nice video!!
Don't tell me they made this piano with a PIC. What are the round buttons? Are they touch sensors?

It is done with a PIC, a 16F688. The buttons are capacitive sensors, in this case it looks like he used coins. They can be pretty much made out of anything metal. This guy has done some nice work.

Everything (except for the speaker amplifier) is done with a PIC. A PIC16F88 is used to scan 36 capacitive touch switches (using coins), an 8-channel PWM generator for polyphonic tones (chords) and voices, etc. They key to getting all of this to work is the use of a Real Time Operating System.
