SmackTop Encourages You To Smack Your Mac 06-Sep-09
SmackTop is an open-source utility for Mac laptops (after 2005) that's designed to let you smack your Mac to create music.
SmackTop translates your laptop's accelerometer (Sudden Motion Sensor) data into MIDI data and audio impulses. This lets you control your favorite DAW by tilting and smacking your laptop.
SmackTop has two types of controllers - Tilters and Smackers.
Tilters translate the left/right (i) and forward/backward (j) tilt of the laptop into MIDI CC values.
Smackers use the change in acceleration (jerk) to trigger a MIDI CC, noteOn and/or audio impulse.
Smacktop looks like fun - and AppleCare never looked so good.
