Ah, we love musical hacks that actually play music.* [Mike Baxter] is back again with a new servo electric guitar. This one, called the physical string synthesizer, and has only one string.* He’s using two Arduinos to control the unit. One to change the midi file to a note within the string’s limits and the second to actually control the servo. It seems like that could be simplified a little bit, but we’re pretty sure his end goal was to build an instrument quickly, not learn to be a circuit ninja. Last time we saw Mike Baxter, he had built a servo electric guitar that used a keypad for control. You can see a video of the single string one after the break.
