The banjobot is a computer controlled self-playing banjo machine. It produces sound by tapping the fret board in several different places with solenoids. It has several software control interfaces and can be played by a human or will play itself using controlled algorithms as a standalone sculpture triggered by motion. It is able to move at super human speeds, banging out its complex range of percussive tones with varying time signatures and tempos. Played by converting MIDI protocols, generated through MAX, with a MIDI to parallel conversion circuit to drive a series of well placed solenoids. It is 33x35.6x96.5 cm. About the size of a banjo.....
