Description
Summary:The use of technology is widely applied to lot of work in our present life. Nowadays, we can see many things in aspect of technology. Present technology has made us possible to do many kinds of jobs in easier way. This includes the traditional music tools where it can be modernized by applying the technology. We can learn and explore about these tools by integrating them with technologies. But, nowadays we can see that many young generations are not very interested with traditional music tool due to the increasing of modem music players' development. They are keen to use modern tools because the traditional music tools are harder to play and more difficult to be understand. A new design in traditional music tools must be developed in order to attract our young generations to love our traditional tools. This can he applied by using a microcontroller to control the tool so that it can play the melody automatically and easily to handle. Basically, the traditional music tools need several human to play it. But, all these needs can be replaced by a gadget that can control the movement of the tools. For an example, a dc motor can be implemented to control a shaking tool. This motor can be control by using a microcontroller which can control all the process in the system. This thesis explained an innovation in traditional musical instrument where an 'angklung' will be integrated with an electronic circuit.
