Vibrotactile Feedback in Digital Musical Instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses vibrotactile feedback in digital musical instruments. It compares the availability of intrinsic vibrotactile feedback in traditional acoustic musical instruments with the lack of vibrotactile feedback in most digital musical instruments. A short description of human sensory ability with regard to this form of feedback is given and the usefullness of vibrotactile feedback to musical performers is also briefly discussed. A number of devices are examined which can be used to provide vibrotactile feedback in a digital musical instruments and some experiments to evaluate these devices are also described. Finally, examples are given of a number of instruments which make use of some of these devices to provide vibrotactile feedback to the performer.

A Systematic Approach to Musical vibrotactile feedback
This paper presents a new approach to the integration of vibrotactile feedback into digital musical instruments. A design strategy for musical vibrotactile systems is developed based on stimulator properties and neurophysiological studies of vibrotactile perception. A software vibration synthesizer driven by perceptual sound features extracted from audio feedback has been created based on these...
متن کاملExamining the Effects of Embedded Vibrotactile Feedback on the Feel of a Digital Musical Instrument
This paper deals with the effects of integrated vibrotactile feedback on the“feel”of a digital musical instrument. Building on previous work developing a DMI with integrated vibrotactile feedback actuators, we discuss how to produce instrument-like vibrations, compare these simulated vibrations with those produced by an acoustic instrument and examine how the integration of this feedback effect...
متن کاملVibrotactile Feedback-Assisted Performance
When performing digital music it is important to be able to acquire a comparable level of sensitivity and control to what can be achieved with acoustic instruments. By examining the links between sound and touch, new compositional and performance strategies start to emerge for performers using digital instruments. These involve technological implementations utilizing the haptic information chan...
متن کاملUsing Haptic Devices to Interface Directly with Digital Waveguide-Based Musical Instruments
A haptic musical instrument is an electronic musical instrument that provides the musician not only with audio feedback but also with force feedback. By programming feedback controllers to emulate the laws of physics, many haptic musical instruments have been previously designed that mimic real acoustic musical instruments. The controller programs have been implemented using finite difference a...
متن کاملAn Exploration on the Influence of Vibrotactile Cues during Digital Piano Playing
An exploratory experiment was carried out in which subjects with different musical skills were asked to play a digital piano keyboard, first by following a specific key sequence and style of execution, and then performing freely. Judgments of perceived sound quality were recorded in three different settings, including standard use of the digital piano with its own internal loudspeakers, and con...
