Ugandan synthesist Bamanya Brian (Afrorack) recently shared this look at his DIY MIDI-controlled music robots.

Brian does not go into a lot of details about his set up, but demonstrates how he builds his own solenoids, which are used to turn MIDI-controlled electrical signals into the motions needed to ‘play’ a DIY shaker and other percussion instruments.

He controls them with an Arturia Beatstep Pro, which is also used to sequence his homebrew modular synth.
