[We draw on our experiences with the Princeton Laptop Orchestra to discuss novel uses of the laptop’s native physical inputs for flexible and expressive control.

Abstract

[We draw on our experiences with the Princeton Laptop Orchestra to discuss novel uses of the laptop’s native physical inputs for flexible and expressive control. We argue that instruments designed using these built-in inputs offer benefits over custom standalone controllers, particularly in certain group performance settings; creatively thinking about native capabilities can lead to interesting and unique new interfaces. We discuss a variety of example instruments that use the laptop’s native capabilities and suggest avenues for future work. We also describe a new toolkit for rapidly experimenting with these capabilities.]
