Abstract

This paper describes the design, implementation and eval-uation of a digital percussion instrument with multidimen-sional polyphonic control of a real-time physical modellingsystem. The system utilises modular parametric control ofdifferent physical models, excitations and couplings along-side continuous morphing and unique interaction capabil-ities to explore and enhance expressivity and gestural in-teraction for a percussion instrument. Details of the in-strument and audio engine are provided together with anexperiment that tested real-time capabilities of the system,and expressive qualities of the instrument. Testing showed that advances in sensor technology have the potential to enhance creativity in percussive instruments and extend gestural manipulation, but will require well designed and inherently complex mapping schemes.
