OpenPipes Revolutionizes the DIY Pipe Organs

Faire: Rome

Maker: OpenPipes

Home: Argentina

If you’ve ever dreamed of playing a majestic pipe organ but thought it was out of reach, think again. OpenPipes, a remarkable open-source project hailing from Argentina, is empowering DIY enthusiasts worldwide to create their very own Virtual Pipe Organ. With an array of accessible plans and innovative technology, OpenPipes is democratizing the traditional sound of Pipe Organs like never before. At the heart of OpenPipes are its comprehensive organ console plans, meticulously designed to guide enthusiasts through the creation process. These plans include an Arduino-controlled Midi Pedalboard, allowing for precise control and expression. The full control circuit, also Arduino-based, provides a seamless interface between the musician and the instrument, enhancing the playing experience. OpenPipes goes beyond the basics, offering a range of Midi peripherals to expand the possibilities of the organ. From traditional buttonboards to OLED screens managers, these peripherals add depth and flexibility to the instrument, allowing musicians to unleash their creativity fully. One of the standout features of OpenPipes is its very own Linux-based pipe organ audio engine, aptly named Pipebian. This powerful audio engine brings the organ to life, faithfully reproducing the rich and resonant sound of traditional pipe organs. With Pipebian, musicians can immerse themselves in the grandeur of organ music, all within the realm of their DIY creation. But OpenPipes is not just about technical specifications and digital wizardry. It is a project that encourages global participation and camaraderie. By opening up the world of pipe organs to a wider audience, OpenPipes is fostering a vibrant community of enthusiasts who share a passion for this magnificent instrument. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or an aspiring hobbyist, OpenPipes invites you to join the movement and embark on a musical adventure.

Watercolor Plotter

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Matous Vana

Home: California, United States

I have a homebuilt and designed plotter that paints with watercolor. Fairgoers are able to interact with the project by mixing watercolors in a series of plots and then seeing my plotter turn their selected colors into a generative art piece! I exhibited at Open Sauce this year and I had a really fun time and people seemed to enjoy my work, I'd love to reprise that at Maker Faire! I also work with pen and I plan to have a variety of post-card sized works for sale at my booth.

Hi Sound Compact – l’audio perfetto per i tuoi video

Faire: Rome

Maker: Dodotronic di Ivano Pelicella

There are a lot of wildlife photographers and videographers, all of whom had extremely costly equipment and lenses, but none of them could match a suitable microphone. Shotgun microphones are designed to be extremely directional in order to block out sound coming from the sides; however, they do not perform as well as parabolic microphones in terms of amplification and background noise. Each naturalist recorder carries their own recorder and a parabola in opposite hands. There will be too much equipment to carry while making a movie, and managing a big parabola is typically difficult. The goal was to design something that would free up your hands so that you could concentrate and begin your film. Hi-Sound Compact aims to record the inaudible sounds of animals in stunning quality and with little noise.

Bodynodes

Faire: Rome

Maker: Manuel Bottini

Bodynodes is a motion capture project made by a hobbyist for other hobbyists. Sensors can be worn and track the movement of the body. Then, the information can be used for different types of applications. The most typical application is to control a character in a virtual reality game. Bodynodes makes the game more immersive than other systems because the sensors are worn and the player interacts directly with the new world. With the use of a VR headset or a VR cardboard, the player gets a fully immersive experience in the game. The tracking information can also be used to create animations for videos or new games. Instead of going through days of animations, the animator can just track their own body and then work on the data collected using the Bodynodes sensors. In the future, we will explore controlling drones and robots, transitioning from the virtual world to controlling the real world!
