SkipStep: A Multi-Paradigm Touch-screen Instrument
نویسندگان
چکیده
SkipStep is a novel touchscreen application that allows users to write, perform, and improvise music on multiple virtual instruments via MIDI. It is a looping-based instrument that incorporates step sequencer and keyboard inspired interfaces with generative music capabilities. Additionally, SkipStep allows for collaborative performance over Wi-Fi, allowing users to either send musical material between separate SkipStep instances or collaboratively edit a single SkipStep file. This paper will provide the motivation behind SkipStep’s design, review similar interfaces, describe SkipStep, present a user evaluation of the interface, and detail future work

متن کاملKinetic Particles Synthesizer Using Multi-Touch Screen Interface of Mobile Devices
We developed a kinetic particles synthesizer for mobile devices having a multi-touch screen such as a tablet PC and a smart phone. This synthesizer generates music based on the kinetics of particles under a two-dimensional physics engine. The particles move in the screen to synthesize sounds according to their own physical properties, which are shape, size, mass, linear and angular velocity, fr...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Touch-Screen-Based Paradigm for Assessing Working Memory in the Mouse
Assessing the working memory of the rodent by using a touch-screen system has several advantages (e.g., allowing highly accurate data collection and flexibility in memory task design). However, there is currently no available testing paradigm utilizing touch-screen systems that can assess working memory in the mouse. In this study, we developed a touch-screen testing paradigm in which mice were...

متن کاملVirtual Gesture Screen System Based on 3D Visual Information and Multi-Layer Perceptron
Active research is underway on virtual touch screens that complement the physical limitations of conventional touch screens. This paper discusses a virtual touch screen that uses a multi-layer perceptron to recognize and control three-dimensional (3D) depth information from a time of flight (TOF) camera. This system extracts an object’s area from the image input and compares it with the traject...
