Playing a musical instrument has a large number of benefits such as increasing creativity and concentration skills, as well as improving memory skills. Whereas learning to play an instrument, especially a classical one, takes years of practice, digital instruments take less time and might offer the same results. Even though the musician and the physical instrument create a relationship over time, the same can be achieved with the help of digital instruments, by enabling the user to interact with it as they would with a real instrument. Soundsense is a new electronic music instrument, designed for children, as well as adults. The goal of this haptic instrument is to enable the creation of electronic music pieces. Its use gives the same feeling like a real musical instrument, but with reduced learning time needed. Soundsense makes possible the generation of real-time sound with the help of an inertial measurement unit attached to a Raspberry Pi device. By capturing quick movements, similar to using drumsticks, and recognizing their position on the X and Y axis, different musical tones are generated.
