I'm building a mobile, open source, midi controlled pipe organ. I'm calling it the Anywhere Organ. This site is here to document my progress, acknowledge all the awesome people who are helping make it happen, and spread what I've learned in making this colossal instrument.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
After a week spent in Providence, picking up laser cut parts and visiting the local hackers around there, I finally got back to the shop and put the first working version of the Anywhere Organ together. This box of pipes represents 1/7 of the final sculpture.
I’m using a J-Omega MTP8 to control the valves from a midi signal. I’ve also got a USB to MIDI converter running from my laptop.
The housing was cut from 3/4” plywood drawn from a configuration based Solidworks model. Setting up all the 3d models correctly has been the biggest effort, but I’m pretty confident all the work will pay off when I’m cutting seven of these buggers out all at once.
My theme music is from the album “Don’t Touch My Chiptune”
