1. An interactive music apparatus comprising:
- at least one actuator configured to transmit a signal upon actuation;
a voltage converter operably coupled to the at least one actuator, the voltage converter configured to convert the signal from the actuator into a data stream;
a processing computer configured to receive the data stream from the voltage converter, the processing computer configured to convert the data stream into a first output signal and a second output signal;
a speaker configured to receive the first output signal and emit sound based on the first output signal; and
an output component, the output component configured to receive the second output signal and perform an action based on the second output signal.
