Our project takes inspiration from the hand pan, which is an acoustic instrument that requires tapping different parts of the instrument to play different sounds. We first decreased the instrument size to fit in your hand, then we made it digital using custom-made pressure sensors which trigger individual sounds. The sensors are made to work by changing the velocity at which each note is pressed. Lastly, we added a vibrato feature which is activated by shaking the hand pan up and down to get that funky pitch change you would get with a whammy bar on a guitar.
