The inspiration comes from this video

After I watched the video, I instantly think about music concept called sampling. Sampling is when you record the sound of things around you or other music and manipulate that sound to be used in your own way.

So I experiment with a barcode reader

And found out which pin outputs the reflection frequency from the laser.

So, I tested out sampling the soundwaves from the barcode reading and modulate the frequency according to midi note outputs from raspberry pi pico

Then, I construct the main body in the shape of piano + guitar and used a mechanical keyboard keys as buttons to send out midi signals for all the sound waves.
