Main Objectives
– Solve and finalize patch issues
– Finalize Cat

Max Patch
Issue #1
The first issue that we encountered was the multiple bang we got when we tried to activate both Touch 1 and Touch 2 to get value 3. As mentioned before, it was impossible to get Value 3 without also getting either Value 1 or 2 as our fingers would not touch or leave at the same exact time.

Hence, we put a delay to all Touch sensors and a stop message.

Issue #2
The second issue was the overlapping sound when a user triggers two sensor at the same time. We tried to have only one output where all Playlists would be connected to. In addition to the delay function we implemented earlier, this solution only solved for when the users touches individual sensors (e.g. Touch 1 and Touch 2): only 1 sound would be played.

Since we have a Third Value for when Touch 1 and Touch 2 were triggered at the same time, either Sound 1 or Sound 2 would be played after Sound 3 was triggered. Hence, this issue was only 50% solved.

Final Patch
Main Patch

Playlist Patch

Distortion Patch

Visual Display Patch – Main
We decided to add a swatch which toggles different colours in the background to have dynamic colours. However, we chose to only display dark tones.

Visual Display Patch – Sphere

Finalize Cat
Lastly, we cleaned up the cat by sewing in any loose fabric patches. We also changed the ears to a thinner cardboard base and created its nose using foam sheet.
