Desktop app for translating light into midi messages.

You'll need an arduino compatible board.

Upload the LightSynth.ino sketch to it and hook up 4 photoresistors in this fashion:

These are two photoresistors for each hand/axis. Each of the axis can control the pitch, the volume and send 2 FX midi control messages. It also includes a stroke feature and a dubstepian cut-off.

I used photoresistors because I was looking for a theremin feel... but you can connect almost any other analog inputs to it (Potentiometers, Thermistors, A touch panel, etc...)

Enjoy! ;P
