Most musical instruments on the market are not accessible or customizable enough for people with a limited range of motion. Orpheus is an accessible technology synthesizer that is intended to help people with a limited range of motion. A synthesizer is a musical instrument that uses electricity to produce audio signals. What makes it unique is that we've incorporated 3 different user inputs that are similar to accessible technology used, which are the muscle sensor, eye sensor, and breath sensor in addition to the traditional keyboard. The sensors work by sending data to an Arduino, then to a DAC which makes it an analog signal that can be read by the synthesizer.
