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.
