Les Paulverizer Website

Final Project - Les Paulverizer Website

Summary
The Les Paulverizer is a small MIDI device that allows a user to play looping background tracks while the user can continue to play a melody on their instrument. In previous iterations of this project, this functionality was provided through a Max 8 patch, which worked but was not accessible to those who did not own the software. During A term 2024, we were tasked with emulating the functions of the Max patch within a web platform. We used ReactJS to build the website and GitHub for source control.

Next Steps
Currently the Les Paulverizer device with midi only works on macOS. To expand the reach of this project, the team believes adding compatibility with windows would be the next step. One way to make this project compatible with windows would be to use serial instead of midi. The team did explore using serial however was unable to successfully use serial to communicate with the ReactJS website. We think this could be because the website uses the vite framework and thus another framework should be explored.
