    Accomplished but barely deployed before disassembly to facilitate other projects, this unit is based on a MIDI-triggered digital sampler - MIDI notes generated from sensors in the shoes allow for playback of recorded sound clips. Harder steps produce louder sounds, and sounds can be updated in real-time through a microphone. Amplified speakers allow for volume sufficient to fill and echo within public spaces.
