General Flow

1. The dancer attaches the system to each shoe and begins to tap.

2. Sensors in the form of magnetic switches attached to the front and back of the tap shoe pick up the rhythm of the tap and send this to the microchip via wires on the edge of the shoe.

3. The microcontroller translates this input into MIDI format.

4. The microcontroller sends this to a base computer via radio signal.

5. The base computer filters this data through software and outputs as filtered sound in real time.
