More Projects Using the MSGEQ7
Since the MSGEQ7 was easy to use, I added two of
them to my next controller project — Banshee! Why two
MSGEQ7s? Well, I needed one for each audio channel.
This way, I can monitor the levels of the left and right
audio for a dual talking skull system without the need of a
prerecorded tone track. At only $2 each, they are not only
cheap but a powerful addition to this new haunt
controller.
You can read more about building a Banshee for
yourself at the Haunt Hackers website. NV
