The Steam Haptics Singer turns your controller into a miniature music box<\/p>\n
It’s pretty good at hitting those notes too<\/p>\n
As reported by The Verge<\/a>, this cool feat was performed by CrazyCritic89, who discussed their discovery with the publication. As it turns out, if you make specific motors within the Steam Controller vibrate at specific frequencies, you can make it ‘sing’ whatever song you like. You can hear it play the Super Mario Bros 2 theme in the video above; it’s surprisingly recognisable for what’s essentially just a vibrating controller.<\/p>\n Here’s how CrazyCritic89 did it:<\/p>\n “The way the controller makes noise is through the haptic motors in the trackpads Those motors usually provide feedback as your thumb glides over the trackpads, or let you \u201cpress\u201d them like a button, even though they don\u2019t actually click down. But the haptic motors can also vibrate at \u201cspecific frequencies, essentially like a speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n If you want to give it a try with your own Steam Controller, be sure to head over to the Steam Haptics Singer program on GitHub<\/a>. It’s a continuation of the SteamControllerSinger app that did a similar thing with the original Steam Controller model, and it’s super easy to use. Download the app, turn on your controller, then drag a MIDI into Steam Haptics Singer to make it play the song.<\/p>\n
