Laptap: Laptop Computer as a Musical Instrument using Audio Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laptap is a laptop-based, real-time sound synthesis/control system for music and multimedia performance. The system produces unique sounds by positive audio feedback between the on-board microphone and the speaker of a laptop computer. Users can make a variety of sounds by touching the laptop computer in several different ways, and control their timbre with the gestures of the other hand above the microphone and the speaker to manipulate the characteristics of the acoustic feedback path. We introduce the basic concept of this audio feedback system, describe its features for sound generation and manipulation, and discuss the result of an experimental performance. Finally we suggest some relevant research topics that might follow in the future.

An Integrated Approach to Computer-based Musical Instrument Design
In recent years a large number of new computer-based musical instruments have been created. While a number of these have implemented a degree of non-audio feedback as a performance aid (which generally takes the form of either haptics or visuals), the majority have tended to focus specifically (and perhaps understandably) on the audio output, and have neglected other forms of feedback. This pap...
متن کاملEngravings for Prepared Snare Drum, iPad, and Computer
This paper describes the technologies, collaborative processes, and artistic intents of the musical composition Engravings for Prepared Snare Drum, iPad, and Computer, which was composed by Timothy Polashek for percussionist Brad Meyer using a jointly created electroacoustic and interactive musical instrument. During performance, the percussionist equally manipulates and expresses through two s...
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...
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 کاملHandheld Acoustic Filter Bank for Musical Control
This paper introduces the design of a handheld musical input device that produces control data by measuring, and analyzing, the resonances of carefully tuned pipes. The device provides input control information to several virtual reed instruments running in parallel, responsible for producing the sound. Inspired by the khaen, a musical instrument from Northeast Thailand and Laos, the controller...
