Abstract:

In our effort to develop an augmented harmonium to enable the performance of continuous pitch ornamentation while preserving typical harmonium gestures, we have replicated the continuous keyboard presented by McPherson et al. in prior work. We present 1) our adaptations to the design of the sensing system, 2) our preliminary novel mapping design, and 3) a report on our replication process.
