Mat Synthesiser
A “foot controller†of audio synthesis. Sort of “track pad†sensible to the position and pressure to be played by the foots.
Technical solutions : Big Pressure sensors (5 or 6) can be placed under a “mat†flat surface (20cm, 20cm) to give information in an axis system (x y z?) for MAXMSP or PD.
This might be the exact sensor you need.
