Abstract:

Pluck, ring, rub, bang, strike, and squeeze are all simple gestures used in controlling music. A single motor/encoder plus a force-sensor has proved to be a useful platform for experimenting with haptic feedback in controlling computer music. The surprise is that the “best” haptics (precise, stable) may not be the most “musical”.
