Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a pipe interface that recognizes touch on tone holes by the resonances in the pipe instead of a touch sensor. This work was based on the acoustic principles of woodwind instruments without complex sensors and electronic circuits to develop a simple and durable interface. The measured signals were analyzed to show that different fingerings generate various sounds. The audible resonance signal in the pipe interface can be used as a sonic event for musical expression by itself and also as an input parameter for mapping different sounds.
