I forgot that I also needed to compose an actual orchestral piece to demo my program with, so that’s what I did for the entire evening. I didn’t actually compose an original piece, but rather just took Beethoven’s Ode to Joy and adapted it for a woodwind quintet (since I don’t have time to compose for a full orchestra). Soon, I’ll actually test my program and try to improve my beat detection algorithm wherever I can.

I also tried adding the optional features into my program for a little bit, but then quickly realized they would take more time than I have, so I decided to ditch them. I did, however, add back the drawing of the hand contour (albeit slightly modified) to make sure that XKin is still detecting my hand and nothing but my hand.
