Music Making with Kidipads
The music making workshop used an interactive system called Kidipads. Kidipads allows the user to trigger sounds and music samples using a series of switches. Any type of switch can be used and up to 8 sounds can be played at the same time. During the workshop we recorded our voices and assigned the audio recordings to some of the switches. Thanks to the SoundHouse VectorLab (Powerhouse Museum) for loaning the equipment
