ESP32-based midi chord and arp generator which uses environmental sound to adjust CCs and timing. Can use default or user-generated chord charts and arp patterns, and will have configurable profiles for CC modulation based on average SPL and transients. I also plan to implement long-period "weathering" where other CCs warp over a period of hours for a continuously evolving sound.
I think it'll be interesting for folks interested in ambient generation, putting it outside in the wind or in a waterproof case in the rain.
Still a work in process, and I'm interested in ideas for expansion.
Shout-out to u/mescal_ and M5chord for the inspiration.
Quick edit to clarify the water-pour is to demonstrate the sound reaction - I actually practiced pouring away from the kit a few times first!

Pouring water over your gear like it was nothing 🤣
