      <pre wrap="">I was thinking that the striker would look cooler sweeping over about 100
degrees. I'll try both configurations as the piece isn't due for about a
year. :)

I figured the response time would not be an issue since software can
compensate for the swing time. Just like a real clave player.

I am making a piece of art work which will detect music beat and then
play the clave to the music.

If you are unfamiliar with clave, here is a video to explain it:

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LWxIqnbxWQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LWxIqnbxWQ</a>

The particular rhythm I want is the reverse (or forward) rumba clave
(both common in Salsa and rumba music).

I was thinking that processing.org and an arduino could be used to
listen in on music and determine the tempo by finding equidistant peaks of
volume. Attempt to group the beats into 8 and determine the strongest of 8.
Assign it as beat 1. Then strike the Clave on 1, 2.5, 4, 6 and 7. Clave
strike could be a solenoid, or perhaps a DC motor.

Any comments or ideas of the technology?

*"Considering that some of the greatest leaps forward in American
technological history have been scrappy homebrews (Apple Computer was a
literal garage startup), it's really kind of exciting to think that, given
its explosive growth, the Maker Faire might well help along an invention or
two that's truly important." – Advertising Age*

The innovation laced through the capital region is impressive, and
this first ever Mini-Maker Faire is a chance to connect creative people from
all over our region in a celebration of the DIY spirit. A Mini-Maker Faire
brings together families and individuals who celebrate Arts, Crafts,
Engineering, Food, Music, Sustainability, and Science and those who embrace
the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) spirit. At Maker Faire, the focus is on the process
of making – not just the finished product.

The real story here is the curiosity, vibrancy, and passion of the
Makers themselves, the people who comprise the rapidly emerging DIY
category. Scientists, homemakers, students, automotive enthusiasts, software
developers, musicians, crafters of all stripes: individuals and communities
of people drawn together by a common delight in the magic of tinkering,
hacking, creating, and reusing materials and technologies.
