Abstract
The goal of this project was to explore the capabilities of National Instruments’ LabVIEW software for controlling electronic musical instruments. The project primarily involves LabVIEW software through which the MIDI code can be transmitted to an audio synthesizer to generate sounds, while using proximity sensors as novel controls to translate hand movements into musical note data. The project demonstrates that LabvVIEW can be used to interpret a signal from any kind of sensor and can use digital controls within the software to generate note data for generating music on MIDI instruments.
