The development of MIDI Glove

Introduction

In 2006 the author was invited to join a dance company in San Diego. Improvised vocal and do a Max Matthews Radio Baton as a controller computer. The hearing results are acceptable, but lacked the visual expression of performance. The composer was looking for a MIDI controller to buy, what the following parameters: low price (under $ 1000), multiple control channels, wireless freedom of spatial skills and moredesign flexibility and movement (not just a drum movement). If there is no viable solution has been discovered, decided to design his own. MIDI glove is the result of a journey through cost control and low expression that were easy enough to use that are easily learned and facilitate focus improvised vocal performances can be found.

Nuance Talents

When I started working with MIDI glove, I had to learn what I could do and what I like.I have a platform with the flexibility of interpretive vocal improvisations to create. The lack of total control over the ideal. After listening to recordings of my tests, I write the ideas, inventions and graphical notation, in which words and notes failed. The form is created in the shower sometimes down the test material and re-created during stage performances. I listened to 13 tracks of music and try to build one to crack. I had to re-think how to transformmusic as a whole is not under my control. This lack of control and opportunities during performances nuances talent that I think is necessary for my computer music. In this way function as "hold the potential to develop work in relation to cultural change." Differences in articulation, dynamics, stolen and phrasing changes during each performance possible through the interactive computer music, it is equally important for music today, as was the interpreter of the Romantic and Baroquerepertoire.

I started to affect my relationship to consider the intensity and sound production, with no physical relationship to what I heard. I had to remember and learn new ideas and techniques in different parts of repeat and understand how to distinguish each piece.

MIDI GLOVE

In my glove, I chose to work with leather gloves motorcycle. They are cheap, flexible enough to movefingers are quite free and stress in the material, the wireless transmitter to support without deformation (held in place on the back of the glove). The fingers are cut so that the computer could launch the program path in testing or troubleshooting performance in use. It is essential for evidence of effectiveness and performance.

The glove has five digital magnetic sensors sewn into it. Sensor 1 is the index finger andchange the length of recorded sample 1000-5000 Me. Sensor 2 is the ring finger and switch channels. There are two channels, and when a channel is selected for the sensors of other jobs on the selected channel for the change in length of the sample, the channel compensation or recording on a track. Sensor 3 is on the palm and sends the signal to record the first track available for the channel. Sensor 4 is on the back of the thumb and cleaning of all audio trigger selectedchannel. Sensor 5 is on the back of the hand and results in a fade-out of all the signals in both channels and all traces of about five seconds.

The sensor is activated by contact with a magnet sewn into the thumb of the glove as well as other sensors on the palm of the glove on the opposite side. Once activated, a digital signal wirelessly transmitted to the receiver MIDITron which translates them into MIDI, and send a MIDI signal to the computer via a USB cable.

The voice isrecorded 12 songs in two separate channels repeat. Channel 1 has eight lanes and a repetition Channel 2 has four numbers repeat. Maps program PD signals of each of the five sensors as described above. Each sample of the channel length due to either a control variable length, as determined by the artist during the performance, or a length of 1 to 5000 ms to 1000 ms intervals. The artist selected sample length of channel signals to record on your computer to the next availabletracks. In a second method, the artist chooses fly length of the sample. With a monster performer defined length of the building safely to a maximum of 30 seconds was used to keep the hard drive breaks down.
