dc.description.abstractAbstract—Over recent years there has been significant developments in the burgeoning field of mechatronic musical instruments. These developments have seen mechatronic instruments greatly increase in complexity, and concomitantly, their expressive capabilities. However, the development of designing control systems for these instruments has been lacking, meaning that the use of these expressive new instruments has largely being left to the builders of the instruments themselves, or other especially skilled users. This paper proposes a new framework for the control of mechatronic musical instruments that is designed to afford an intuitive interaction for all users. This design allows for more aesthetic exploration of mechatronic instruments as well as expanding the potential demographic of users. This framework explores the potential of new iPad applications that offer high level control parameters and gestures, for the real-time interaction with mechatronic instruments in both performance and installation settings without assuming prior mechanical knowledge of the user. This paper discusses the current state of the field and the need for this new framework. It then demonstrates and explains three case studies that have being developed by the authors as examples of this new framework.en_US
