Introducing Audio D-touch: a Tangible User Interface for Music Composition and Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
"Audio d-touch" uses a consumer-grade web camera and customizable block objects to provide an interactive tangible interface for a variety of time based musical tasks such as sequencing, drum editing and collaborative composition. Three instruments are presented here. Future applications of the interface are also considered.

Generate expressive music from picture with a handmade multi-touch music table
The multi-touch music table is a novel tabletop tangible interface for expressive musical performance. User touches the picture projected on the table glass surface to perform music. User can click, drag or use various multi-touch gestures with fingers to perform music expressively. The picture color, luminosity, size, finger gesture and pressure determine the music output. The table detects up...
متن کاملTowards an Interface for Music Mixing based on Smart Tangibles and Multitouch
This paper presents the continuous work towards the development of an interface for music mixing targeted towards expert sound technicians and producers. The mixing interface uses a stage metaphor mapping scheme where audio channels are represented as digital widgets on a 2D surface. These can be controlled by multi touch or by smart tangibles, which are tangible blocks with embedded sensors. T...
متن کاملSoundStrand A toy for music composition
While the use of tangible interfaces in music is mostly restricted to exploration and manipulation of pre-composed music due to their limited amount of degrees of freedom, no system has yet been developed that allows explicit music composition through tangible interaction. SoundStrand is a tangible interface that supports an alternative paradigm to the process of music composition. This approac...
متن کاملA Tabletop Waveform Editor for Live Performance
We present an audio waveform editor that can be operated in real time through a tabletop interface. The system combines multi-touch and tangible interaction techniques in order to implement the metaphor of a toolkit that allows direct manipulation of a sound sample. The resulting instrument is well suited for live performance based on evolving loops.
متن کاملMusic expression with a robot manipulator used as a bidirectional tangible interface
The availability of haptic interfaces in music content processing offers interesting possibilities of performerinstrument interaction for musical expression. These new musical instruments can precisely modulate the haptic feedback, and map it to a sonic output, thus offering new artistic content creation possibilities. With this article, we investigate the use of a robotic arm as a bidirectiona...
