INTRODUCTION

Although hundreds of new controllers have been explored for musical applications, very few have emerged as sufficiently flexible and general to serve as platform technologies for a wide variety of musical instruments and interactions. One successful controller that is already widely used in musical applications is the digitizing tablet [15, 16]. In this paper we show by exploring representative examples how the Gametrak controller is emerging as another viable platform technology.

Introduction

Research on musical timbre typically seeks representations of the perceptual
structure inherent in a set of sounds that
have implications for expressive control over the sounds in composition and
performance. With digital analysis-based
sound synthesis and with experiments on tone quality perception, we can obtain
representations of sounds that
suggest ways to provide low-dimensional control over their perceptually
important properties.
