WIRING THE ORGAN FOR SMELL
JULY 2006

Worked with Simon Steggell who helped with soldering wires to the 8 push-type solenoids to connect them to the relay/solenoid box he built with Erich Berger in February 06.

Connected the cable from the relay/solenoid box to the lanbox, and then to the mac. Plugged in the the Midi 9 light sensor strip under the organ keys to the Midi 9 converter box. Plugged that into a midi interface and into the mac. Made a max patch that sends signals to the 8 digital outputs of the lanbox so that aromas are released when certain keys are depressed.

Click on the image below to see the details.

Results: 7 of the airbrush valves are depressed when the appropriate keys on the organ are pressed. The 8th solenoid did not respond.

Solution: troubleshoot the lanbox again via its own software (lc edit) to see if the lanbox is confirgured incorrectly.

One thing that became perfectly clear was that I will have to dilute the aroma oils. When we tested the airbrush guns, we only filled them with water. Despite the fact that they have been thoroughly washed out since I last used them in December 2005, there are still residues of the aromas in the airbrush guns. The smell is quite distinctive - especially the synthetic smell of horse and stable.
