MindStorms robot playing organ

This robot plays the chord section of an old Bontempi air organ - basically an electric accordeon. It is just a test and that is the reason why I controll the progression by pressing a touch sensor manually.

where did u get the piano organ and how much was it (£) ?

[organfairy]

@inventorlewis - I got it at a charity sale for ½£ because nobody else wanted it.

cool.can you program this to play jarre's riffs?(lol, I think that this could be very difficult)

[organfairy]

Probably not exactly riffs. But it can play the chords for "the last rhumba/Magnetic Fields V".

That's a pretty ingenious way of getting six different notes out of 3 control channels. I might have to borrow the idea for my next project. (I just finished building a glockenspiel playing bot - see my page)
