Argos: An Open Source Application For Building Multi- Touch Musical Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Argos is a multi-touch graphical user interface builder aimed at applications in musical performance and sound synthesis. The interface builder lets users construct interfaces through a library of existing widgets (e.g. knobs, sliders, buttons), while providing access to an extensible, open-source toolkit for developing new widgets. Argos was designed with platform-independence in mind, enabling it to run on major operating systems in conjunction with many DIY and commercial multi-touch devices.

Representation-plurality in multi-touch mobile visual programming for music
Multi-touch mobile devices provide a fresh paradigm for interactions, as well as a platform for building rich musical applications. This paper presents a multi-touch mobile programming environment that supports the exploration of di↵erent representations in visual programming for music and audio interfaces. Using a common flow-based visual programming vocabulary, we implemented a system based o...
متن کاملA Comparative User Study of Two Methods of Control on a Multi-Touch Surface for Musical Expression
Mapping between musical interfaces, and sound engines, is integral to the nature of an interface [3]. Traditionally, musical applications for touch surfaces have directly mapped touch coordinates to control parameters. However, recent work [9] is looking at new methods of control that use relational multi-point analysis. Instead of directly using touch coordinates, which are related to a global...
متن کاملA Flexible Mapping Editor for Multi-touch Musical Instruments
This paper introduces a flexible mapping editor, which transforms multi-touch devices into musical instruments. The editor enables users to create interfaces by dragging and dropping components onto the interface and attaching actions to them, which will be executed when certain userdefined conditions obtain. The editor receives touch information via the non-proprietary communication protocol, ...
متن کاملMusical notation for multi-touch interfaces
This paper explores the creation and testing of a new system for notating physical touch actions on a surface. This notation is conceptualized through and initially tested on multi-touch interfaces. A brief examination of movement notation concepts is followed by an overview of design challenges considered. The notation symbols and formats are detailed. A testing procedure was carried out in or...
متن کاملTouchKeys: Capacitive Multi-Touch Sensing on a Physical Keyboard
Capacitive touch sensing is increasingly used in musical controllers, particularly those based on multi-touch screen interfaces. However, in contrast to the venerable piano-style keyboard, touch screen controllers lack the tactile feedback many performers find crucial. This paper presents an augmentation system for acoustic and electronic keyboards in which multi-touch capacitive sensors are ad...
