Design reed controller for MIDI auto-saxophone
This project presents the method of designing reed controller for woodwind instrument that is Alto saxophone. In order to produce sound from saxophone, air pressure is blow into the mouthpiece and the reed will vibrate and produce sound wave. As the reed is springy and can bend, a simple mass-spring...
