Tiles project control sliders wiring

murraythomson

Hi,
I'm trying to replicate the tiles project from
http://blog.bela.io/2017/01/11/percussion/
I've connected the piezos but the video also two sliders. Is that volume control? How should I connect them?
I've also seen that parts of the software are commented. Is this sliders functionality enabled in the software?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Murray,

Great that you're building another version of this. In the video that you're talking about the sliders aren't actually connected, they were just on the breakout board that I was using during initial tests. The most important part of the circuitry are the pair of resistors for each piezo disk. Let me know how you get on and if you have any other questions. A nice addition would be a button or rotary encoder that cycles through sample sets.

Cheers,
Robert

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your reply. I got it working with 1M ohm resistors. I need to read the code and understand how is working. I thought that I was going to get a different tone with each piezo and I mounted them under similar surfaces. Now they all sound the same. I will try to modify the code so they act like a xylophone. I might come back with some questions, if that's OK. Great project by the way. Thank you very much for sharing it!

Cheers,
Murray
