The Dataglove/Dataviolin is a system for
musical performance consisting of a modified TouchGlove
with embedded sensors, a modified violin containing a
graphics tablet and sensors, and custom software allowing
the glove/violin to control digital and analog audio
processing of up to three live instruments.
The
Dataglove/Dataviolin Interface translates data from the
custom Dataglove and Dataviolin instruments into
real-time control of audio processors and electronic
music hardware. The window shown here displays the status
of the glove's 13 embedded sensors, and allows the
performer to assign any sensor to any audio processing
parameter. Also displayed on this page are the
harmonization mappings of the graphics tablet mounted on
the Dataviolin. The position of the performer's index
finger on the violin tablet changes the pitch of incoming
sounds based on the scales and chords selected in the
lower left of the window. All the settings on this page
can be stored, named, and recalled for use in
performance.
