Input Devices for Musical Expression : Borrowing Tools from HCI

Nicola Orio, Norbert Schnell, and Marcelo M. Wanderley

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

This paper reviews the existing literature on input device evaluation and design in human-computer interaction (HCI)and discusses possible applications of this knowledge to the design and evaluation of new interfaces for musical expression. Specifically, a set of musical tasks is suggested to allow the evaluation of different existing controllers.
