HandSketch Bi-Manual Controller Investigation on Expressive Control Issues of an Augmented Tablet

Nicolas d'Alessandro, and Thierry Dutoit

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new bi-manual gestural controller, called HandSketch, composed of purchasable devices : pen tablet and pressure-sensing surfaces. It aims at achieving real-time manipulation of several continuous and articulated aspects of pitched sounds synthesis, with a focus on expressive voice. Both prefered and non-prefered hand issues are discussed. Concrete playing diagrams and mapping strategies are described. These results are integrated and a compact controller is proposed.
