Freepad: A Custom Paper-based MIDI Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
The field of mixed-reality interface design is relatively young and in regards to music, has not been explored in great depth. Using computer vision and collision detection techniques, Freepad further explores the development of mixed-reality interfaces for music. The result is an accessible user-definable MIDI interface for anyone with a webcam, pen and paper, which outputs MIDI notes with velocity values based on the speed of the strikes on drawn pads.

A virtual folk band: playing traditional tunes with novel interfaces
In this paper, we present a complete band made of custom built MIDI interfaces and sound synthesis algorithms based on some traditional folk instruments. The band itself consists of a woodwind controller called Grallot, a Hurdy-Gurdy inspired interface and laser triggered drumpads. Except for the drums, all the instruments play custom physical models.
متن کاملControl: Software for End-User Interface Programming and Interactive Performance
The author presents Control, a software application for mobile devices enabling users to define custom graphical user interfaces for transmitting both OSC and MIDI. Unlike other similar mobile applications, interfaces are defined using web standards such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The widgets that come predefined with Control can be extended by users via JavaScript; scripting can also be used...
متن کاملThe Ghost: An Open-Source, User Programmable MIDI Performance Controller
The Ghost has been developed to create a merger between the standard MIDI keyboard controller, MIDI/digital guitars and alternative desktop controllers. Using a custom software editor, The Ghost’s controls can be mapped to suit the users performative needs. The interface takes its interaction and gestural cues from the guitar but it is not a MIDI guitar. The Ghost’s hardware, firmware and softw...
متن کاملA Comparison of Solenoid-Based Strategies for robotic drumming
Solenoids are important components of robotic drumming systems and several designs have been proposed. In this paper, we compare different designs in terms of speed and dynamic range and discuss the tradeoffs involved. The evaluation is performed in the context of MahaDeviBot, a custom built 12-armed MIDI controlled mechanical device that performs a variety of Indian folk instruments, including...
متن کاملThe Expanded instrument System: Recent Developments
I demonstrate the current configuration and user interface of the Expanded Instrument System, an improvising performance environment for acoustic musicians used extensively by Pauline Oliveros and Deep Listening Band. The constraints from which this configuration emerged are discussed and provide the rationale for the design and implementation decisions made, including those for a custom MIDI i...
