Example Interfaces
From CCRMA Wiki
The following videos are loosely grouped according to Eduardo Miranda and Marcelo Wanderley, "New Digital Musical Instruments: Control and Interaction Beyond the Keyboard," A-R Editions, 2006.
For some historical perspectives, look up the father of computer music or google some prior electronic musical instruments such as the Theremin, the Ondes Martenot, the Trautonium, or the Electronic Sackbut.
Also, see prior projects from Music 250A.
