Abstract
uTubo was one of the instruments built for the project Sonópia, which proposed to create a set of novel instruments and interfaces developed by Digitópia Collective - Casa da Música and LAbMóvel - Gulbenkian Foundation, during March 2013. Sonópia was part of Ao Alcance de Todos, meaning by the reach of all, which was a larger group of projects with artistic and social scopes, led by Serviço Educativo da Casa da Música. And for this purpose, uTubo was designed for no specific person or type of person, aspiring to suit a large range of players, from people with certain degrees of physical/mental impairments to children or even “serious” musicians.
Tools & Resources
uTubo uses an Arduino Mega 2560 and a wonderful sound synthesis library called Mozzi.
There is a Fritzing file (.fzz) inside the 'Sketches' folder containing a diagram of electronic components.
