LUMI : Live Performance Paradigms Utilizing Software Integrated Touch Screen and Pressure Sensitive Button Matrix

This paper explores a rapidly developed, new musical interface involving a touch-screen, 32 pressure sensitive button pads, infrared sensor, 8 knobs and cross-fader. We provide a versatile platform for computer-based music performance and production using a human computer interface that has strong visual and tactile feedback as well as robust software that exploits the strengths of each individual system component.
