[sdiy] any interest in a cheap electronic manual percussion instrument?

[Grant Richter]

Here's an idea that I will never have time to do.

Musical Juggling Balls

That is a self contained impact sensor, sequencer, tone generator and
speaker. So as you juggle, the balls produce a sequence, and you can alter
the sequence by the juggling method.

I think just a state variable with high resonance, feeding the impact sensor
into the input, would product a "ping" each time they were caught.

It would be a cool gimmick for a juggling enthusiast.
