Audiopad

Like something straight out of a sci-fi flick, Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which works by tracking the position of objects on a tabletop surface and then converting their motion into music. The system utilises a huge set of electronic samples, to give the user access to anything from looping African drum beats to etheral synthetic rhythms.
Audiopad will also allow the user to spontaneously reinterpreta musical compositions as they play. Software translates the position information into music and graphical feedback on the tabletop. Each object represents either a musical track or a microphone.
