Linux Audio Systems, USA
I am primarily a developer of open source software for
audio+MIDI work under Linux, but I also dabble in
experimental composition and sound sculpting. I have two
closely related projects with the I-CubeX: the MIDI
Stick, which is a custom-designed control surface for
controlling MIDI sound sources, and "icube", a editor and
sensor mapper for Linux. "icube" can do several kinds of
mappings that Infusion's own software does not, and it
also can map a single sensor to a variety of different
MIDI data streams. The MIDI Stick (when finished) will
have 4 Turn, 4 Touch, 4 MiniTouch, and 2 Slide sensors,
along with an area to "tap" a DataGlove. The digitizer is
mounted to the back of the MIDI Stick, and the whole
instrument can be played somewhat like a guitar or one of
the portable "synth axes" that were popular for an
instant in the 1970's and early 1980's.
