Allowing Electronic Musicians to Design How Their Digital Instrument Feels
This work examines the benefits of using configurable haptic feedback in musical interfaces to improve the performer's ability to control and manipulate sound in electronic music.
We explore how different sensory perceptions are connected in order to create rich multimodal interactions.
Our research outcome is an open-source MIDI controller with haptic behaviours and a graphical user interface that provides musicians with an additional dimension of software control. We contribute to the development of tangible and adaptable interfaces, notably in the field of electronic music performance.
