MIDI Light Saber
We are building an ESP32 powered RGB LED lightsaber, that is going far beyond fighting and bouncing shots back to stormtroopers. We are creating a completely new Visual Music Instrument, that we can use as a platform to explore the whole new space of intermedia art and science.

New MIDI In modes show incoming notes
Local mode gives each note its place on the blade for ease of recognition. Split mode fills the blade with all notes evenly. Fill mode just fills the blade with recent note color.
