Making the KLIK Recorder, a simple DIY MIDI wind instrument - KLIK Tutorial #7

In this build video I show you how I made the KLIK recorder, a simple but highly capable MIDI wind instrument, with fingerings loosely based on a recorder. I make 2 different versions, one which uses the KLIK breakout board, and one with just the bare-bones Teensy LC microcontroller. I also make an alternate mouthpiece/breath sensor which can be played with a face mask on.
The 3d-models for the printed mouthpiece parts are here: www.youmagine....
If you want more details on how to calibrate and play the KLIK recorder, as well as the different options and settings, then stay tuned for the companion video for this instrument, coming soon.
This is the seventh build video in the KLIK tutorial series. In this series my main focus is on showing you how to use the KontinuumLAB Instrument Kit to make all of the different instruments that come preinstalled on the microcontroller within the kit.
You can buy the kit here: www.kontinuuml...
This video doesn't talk about coding or uploading code, because you won't need to if you own the kit. However, the sketch for this instrument is available for download. If you have the skills for it, then you should be able to make this instrument without the kit, by sourcing the sensors and materials elsewhere.
The code is available for download here: github.com/Kon...
See you in the Kontinuum!

Just found your channel and watched several videos. Your use of the CNY70 in conjunction with a reflective membrane for breath, percussion and note input is brilliant. Keep up the great work :-D

Hello Sir, Where can I find the Sensors and the breakout board etc etc? many thx for the video!

[@pgtpt]

possible to do this with trumpet fingerings?

[@KontinuumLAB]

Definitely! My new KontinuumLAB workshop electronics have a trumpet as one of the options. It's actually quite simple. There are 3 valves;
Valve 1 lowers the pitch by 2 semitones.
Valve 2 lowers the pitch by a semitone.
Valve 3 lowers the pitch by 3 semitones.
Add up the numbers and subtract from a basic note value and you're good to go!

@@KontinuumLAB can you play a full chromatic scale though? doesn't sound like it.

[@KontinuumLAB]

@@pgtpt I responded to your email, but I'll copy paste here for others:
"The KLIK trumpet uses a capacitive sensor to activate a series of transpositions, which correspond loosely to the harmonics on an actual trumpet. The default setting is to always jump up by a fifth, which allows you to play a full chromatic scale, but it could also be adjusted to an actual harmonic series of course. The range depends on the resolution given to the "harmonics" sensor, so if you want high range then there is a technical element to achieving that. As in: You'll have to practice...."
