iSynth

iSynth is a simple music synthesizer written in Python & utilizes the pyFluidSynth as well as FluidSynth libraries for production of sound.

Which scripts to run ?

To do a simple keyboard test : # cd fluidsynth # python hamsadhwani_keytest.py

To test with Myoware's Muscle Sensor for modulating the velocity of a keypress : # cd myosensor # python hamsadhwani_single_threshold.py or # hamsadhwani_fine_threshold.py

To test with the virtual keyboard (printed on a sheet of paper with a camera for OpenCV feed) : # cd virtualkeyboard # python3 final_music_vkeyboard.py

CREDITS

For detecting fingerpresses on the virtual keyboard, we re-used an existing algorithm implemented by Joe Thomas as described in his webpage :

Also, the following code was adapted to suit our needs :
