Title: Tesla Coils
Post by: TZtech on December 28, 2012, 02:42:24 PM
"Build a tesla coil" should be on any self respecting nerds bucket list  :96-

This launched today on kickstarter - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onetesla/onetesla-a-diy-singing-tesla-coil?ref=category.
There must be a reason it launched on the same day I got my christmas bonus  :72-

Never been into the music scene - Have a vague idea of what MIDI is but no idea if there is a replacement for it. Any music Guru's out there ?

MIDI = Musical Instrument Digital Interface
Allows instruments to be connected together so you can play them with another instrument
keyboard controlling electronic drums as an example
I know person that even has a Accordion with the interface that he connects to a high end synthesizer with actual samples of other instruments stored in its memory.
Many of the DJ controllers for DJ software use MIDI even when USB is the hardware interface
I use TouchOSC on my iPhone to control Traktor via WiFi
