MiMic: a motion control interface for music
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this project is to provide an interface that frees the ‘laptop musician’ from the laptop and in doing so, encourages more interactive performances within the genre of electronic music. This paper examines interactive systems that use motion and other sensors to control computer music applications and discusses interface design in this context. The various interfaces already tackling this goal demonstrate issues with regard to complexity, affordability and usability. We are particularly interested in interfaces that utilise simple design concepts to provide a flexible, intuitive controller that is appealing and affordable to a broad range of electronic musicians.

The Bluetooth Radio Ball Interface (BRBI): A Wireless Interface for Music/Sound Control And Motion Sonification
The Bluetooth Radio Ball Interface (BRBI) is a wireless interface for motion tracking and sonification. The device is embedded in a palm sized foam ball. A 3-dimensional sensor with a Bluetooth module seated in the center of the ball transmits acceleration/tilt measurement data to a computer. Data is then converted into Open Sound Control messages for use with other applications. This paper pre...

This article reports on a project that uses unfettered gestural motion for expressive musical purposes. The project involves the development of, and experimentation with, software to receive data from a Vicon motion capture system, and to translate and map that data into data for the control of music and other media such as lighting. In addition to the commercially standard MIDI—which allows di...
متن کاملPitch Canvas: Touchscreen Based Mobile Music Instrument
Mobile music applications are typically quite limiting to musicians, as they either attempt to mimic non-touchscreen interfaces or do not offer enough control. Pitch Canvas is a musical interface that was built specifically for the touchscreen, with the goal of providing the same depth and flexibility as traditional instruments without virtualizing an existing physical interface. Pitches are la...
