The Cyclotactor : Towards a Tactile Platform for Musical Interaction

Staas de Jong

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

This paper reports on work in progress on a finger-based tactile I/O device for musical interaction. Central to the device is the ability to set up cyclical relationships between tactile input and output. A direct practical application of this to musical interaction is given, using the idea to multiplex two degrees of freedom on a single tactile loop.
