A motion detector (1T1) provided for movement with a performer and a control system (1M) for receiving detection data transmitted from the motion detector and controlling a performance of a tone in response to the received detection data are provided. State of a performer's motion is detected via a sensor (MS1) of the motion detector, and detection data representative of the detected motion state is transmitted to the control system. The control system receives the detection data, analyzes the performer's motion on the basis of the detection data, and then controls a tone performance in accordance with the analyzed data. For example, as the performer moves his hand, leg or trunk while listening to a music performance being carried out by a performance apparatus (1S) of the control system, the detector detects the performer's motion and transmits corresponding detection data to the control system, which in turn variably controls the music performance.

A method for classification recognition of gestures and gesture primitives in a touch-based user interface. In an implementation the method comprises receiving tactile image data responsive to data generated from user touch of a user touch interface comprising a sensor array. The tactile image data is processed to create a plurality of numerical values responsive to data generated from the user touch interface. These numerical values are applied to a principle component analysis operation to produce a reduced-dimensionality data vector which is applied to a classifier having a plurality of classifier outputs interpretable as probabilities. The classifier outputs provide likelihoods that an execution gesture is from a collection of pre-defined gestures, and a decision test is used to produce a decision output indicating a gesture outcome useful in user interface applications. The arrangement can recognize single finger “6D” actions of roll, pitch, yaw, left-right, forward-back, and variations in applied pressure.

Collaborative Music Creation

A system and method for real-time controlling of signal processors, synthesizers, musical instruments, MIDI processors, lighting, video, and special effects in performance, recording, and composition environments using images derived from tactile sensors, pressure sensor arrays, optical transducer arrays, chemical sensor arrays, body sensor arrays, and numerical computation. The invention provides for pressure sensor arrays and body sensor arrays as tactile control interfaces, for video cameras and light sensor arrays as optical transducers, for chemical sensor arrays, and for other numerical image generation from computer processing or numeric simulation. Tactile transducers may be put on instrument keys of conventional instruments, be attached to existing instruments, or be used to create entirely new instrument or controller configurations. Chemical sensor arrays and for other numerical image generation from computer processing or numeric simulation can be used to monitor or simulate natural physical phenomenon such as self-organizing process behavior or environmental conditions. Arrays of scalar or vector values are processed to extract pattern boundaries, geometric properties of pixels within the pattern boundaries (geometric center, weighted moments, etc.), and higher-level derived information (senses of rotation, segmented regions, pattern classification, syntax, grammars, sequences, etc.) which are used to create control signals for external audio, visual, and control equipment or algorithms. The invention also provides for MIDI and non-MIDI control signals.

A high dimensional touchpad (HDTP) controls a variety of computer windows systems and applications by detecting a user's finger movement in the left-right, forward-backward, roll, pitch, yaw, and downward pressure directions. Measurements obtained from the touchpad of at least two attributes of finger movement at two different time intervals are used to provide a first and a second finger position attribute used to control an application on an electronic device. The finger roll angle is determined by detecting the edge and the peak region of a finger contact area. Also, a visual color displayed in an application operating on an electronic device is controlled by a measured-angle value of a finger in contact with a touchpad.

An electronic music apparatus has a tone generator settable by setting information to generate a music tone signal and an open memory area accessible for storing identification information of the electronic music apparatus and setting information specific to the electronic music apparatus. The electronic music apparatus reads out the identification information from the open memory area and sends the read identification information to an editing apparatus, and receives setting information from the editing apparatus and writes the received setting information into the open memory area. Further, when the setting information is written into the open memory area, the written setting information is applied to the tone generator. The editing apparatus has a storage for storing the edited setting information in association with the identification information of each electronic music apparatus. The editing apparatus receives the identification information sent from the electronic music apparatus, identifies the electronic music apparatus which sends the identification information, locates the setting information stored in the storage in association with the received identification information, and sends the located setting information to the identified electronic music apparatus.

In an automatic play apparatus for electronic music system, it is often desired to expand its function in universal and easy way. In this invention, at steps 100 - 140, the sequencer module records music performance data provided from an external device or it reproduces them. Sometimes it does both at the same time. In a series of processing at steps 100 - 140, the queue processing 200, 300 and 400 are introduced. In each queue processing, a part of the music performance data is memorized temporarily in Temporary Memory Area 200 a, 300 a and 400 a, and the pointer, as an argument, corresponding to the memorized part of the music performance data is transferred to various plug-in programs which work as function expansion modules. The plug-in programs are thus enabled to read out the music performance data and write them, respectively from and in Temporary Memory Area 200 a, 300 a and 400 a.
