hello guys!
here is a new video!
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k1MLvc35LQAgry3JUrx

we have the first laser harp with hand height detection!

the new improvements are:
- sensor can work with neon light without problems
- the height detection
- 20 playlists of 20 songs each with up to 20 beams and up to 5 simultaneous notes for each beam

you can also see how it's easy to program the harp @4minutes 15s (i cut the beam, i play the note on the synth and it's done! the instrument + note + velocity are stored )
25 prototypes are in manufacturing process \o/
i'm waiting for the final price but the bare boards will be available too

it's great that you are putting the time and effort into this to bring it to fruition.

Please keep us informed of progress

it's because we are working with a great music composer it's very useful to have the musician point of view and requirements
this is why our harp is very easy to use by a musician (midi programing for example). at this time (i think the commercial competitors are working on it) we are the first to have the "midi in" system to program the harp by the synth and it's not the synth to be programmed for the Harp). same thing for the USB firmware update....

Sadly, I don't have the electronics skills to put something of this complexity together. Maybe when there's a completed circuit board available

[Genesis]

yes don't worry it's in progress. the boards (25 units) are on the manufacturer hands and i'm waiting the final quote for the assembled boards
