Light Pipes: A Light Controlled MIDI Instrument

Sook Y. Won, Humane Chan, and Jeremy Liu

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new MIDI controller, the Light Pipes. The Light Pipes are a series of pipes that respond to incident light. The paper will discuss the design of the instrument, and the prototype we built. A piece was composed for the instrument using algorithms designed in Pure Data.
