I would personally be greatly in favour of a 12db state-variable filter for
ChucK with some sort of method to get HP, BP and LP as separate outputs.
Maybe following the system set by Pan2 to ChucK multiple outputs to various
Ugens?

Do beware of noise from cheap sensors as that will wreck your plan, if my
new joypad is any indication.

My personal favourite philosopher Sun Tzu made some commentary about it not
being hard to hear thunder. This is generally taken to mean that one should
by all means do so but that it's typically a thank-less job :¬)

(I warmly recommend Samuel Griffith's translation and steering clear of the
more fashionable commentary's)

And thanks.

Weren't they also somehow involved with Guitar Hero? Or was that Gibson? GH,
BTW, also uses a tilt-sensor and according to my own research (to use a
euphemism) tends to result in a rather active engagement as well. Sadly GH
controllers are quite expensive for a few buttons and a tilt-sensor and are
a bit small especially if the performer would be -say- 2 meters tall.


Good plans,  do keep it up!
Kas.
