Abstract
Pitch Fork is a prototype of an alternate, actuated digital
musical instrument (DMI). It uses 5 infra-red and 4 piezoelectric
sensors to control an additive synthesis engine. Iron
bars are used as the physical point of contact in interaction
with the aim of using this materials natural acoustic properties
as a control signal for aspects of the digitally produced
sound. This choice of material was also chosen to affect
player experience. Sensor readings are relayed to a Macbook
via an Arduino Mega. Mappings and audio output
signal is carried out with Pure Data Extended.
