The following web-based apps simply require you to plug in the Makey Makey and access the dedicated site to make music immediately: Once the Makey Makey is set up you can use it to trigger the letter, arrow, and space bar keys, you will need to set up a music application to connect the letter key with sound or musical content. Watch this basic explanation of how the Makey Makey works with completing a circuit Connecting a Music Application to Makey Makey Watch this video on setting up the Makey Makey (start at 1:00 for a focus on set up) Very basic set up to get started (from Makey Makey)Ī more in-depth setup guide with explanations (from SparkFun)
To use the bottom part of the Makey Makey (letter keys and more) you will need wire such as jumper wires (you can find them at many online vendors including Amazon, SparkFun, AdaFruit etc.) Photo adapted from original photo by jayahimsa via Flckr To use the top part of the Makey Makey (Space bar and arrow keys) you can use alligator clips Either way, you’ll need both steps to use the Makey Makey to make music: Connect Objects to the Makey Makey to Trigger Keys It’s up to you whether you would rather start with creating some musical content or with connecting objects to the Makey Makey. Getting Started How do I set up the Makey Makey to make music? An application that lets you assign sounds/music to computer keys (i.e.Conductive objects such as (people, fruits & vegetables, copper tape, soft graphite etc.).Wires/alligator clips for connecting objects to act as triggering devices (up to 10).What do I need to use a Makey Makey for musical engagement? Get inspired by the Makey Makey project gallery. Additional examples below. The controllers you create with the Makey Makey can be used to play video games, create music, or any number of other applications available by re-coding its Arduino based software. It works by completing an electrical circuit through the conductive material, thus triggering whatever action you predetermine via software. The Makey Makey is a device which enables you to create a “controller” or “triggering device” out of any electrically conductive material including metal, fruit, water, etc. Curated resources for using a Makey Makey for musical engagement, learning, and teaching.
