Musical instruments are in constant development and so is the way to use them. This paper presents a study of the use of sensors to control sounds through movements, analyzing also its reliability and accessibility for such application. The microcontroller used in this work was Arduino, tested with the HC-SR04 and MPU6050 sensors. Reliability tests showed that both were sufficiently sensitive and accurate for movements such as drawing the hands closer and farther, so as rotating the wrist. More study would be required to implement more sensors as well as the use of more advanced communication between computer and sensor to enable a wider range of sound creation. Lastly, the work proposes some modifications and future improvements to make music creation more intuitive.
