HyperLumaMidiMagnaTronic Drum Set - A robotic drum set comes to life with surprising power, speed and light, providing a driving rhythm for the ArcAttack! singing Tesla Coils. A PIC microcontroller decodes a MIDI stream and produces Pulse-Width-Modulated signals based on the velocity messages. Pulse-width-modulation provides precise velocity control driving Electro-magnetic rotary actuators with high power MOSFET transistors. The rotary actuators simplify the mechanics, improve reliability and reduce unwanted noise. LED arrays provide colorful, synchronized lighting effects.
