A Tabletop Waveform Editor for Live Performance

Gerard Roma, and Anna Xambó

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

We present an audio waveform editor that can be operated in real time through a tabletop interface. The systemcombines multi-touch and tangible interaction techniques inorder to implement the metaphor of a toolkit that allows direct manipulation of a sound sample. The resulting instrument is well suited for live performance based on evolvingloops.
