This made me think of the next step. Right now I have a synth that is producing interesting sounds, and I know I want to play with a tablet.
So now I have to build a good mapping. Since I have been working on the synth, I am thinking very much in terms of the synth's parameters, which does not generally lead to a good mapping, IMHO.
-> i fully agree.
Any ideas about how to go about separating oneself from the synth parameters and start shaping things in terms of an instrument? I am trying to think of ways in which software would help this process. We have a nice collection of useful objects for when you know what you want to do, I guess I am thinking of what objects would be useful in assisting the processing of exploring.
for synthese exploration, i think ali momeni "active mapping space" (cf nime 05) is a good idea. (we already talk about it). (cnmat.cnmat.berkeley.edu/~ali/zShare/Ali%20Momeni/documents/NIME05-ActiveSpaces01.pdf) i've got a propotype on my computer, but i need to cleanly install iem matrix in order to make it work.
anyway, the autor implementation is limitied to 2 dimentional input, but the wacom does provide lot's more : X, Y, X velocity, Y velocity etc.
so, we need to imagine a n dimentional input parametter, "link" to m dimentional output. this "active mapping space" implementation should be quite easy once i've got time + iem matrix.
(btw, having multiple Gem windows would also be very usefull for this implementation).
anyway, this is not the best solution, but a 1st step. any more idea would be welcom.
