Interface Design and Controller Development for Loop Performance of Contemporary Music Associated with a DJ Software

Abstract

In this research, we attempt to develop for artistic music loop performance on a de facto standard digital DJ system with TouchOSC. Through the analysis on the functions and UI of de facto DJ software and controllers, the 4 shortage of functions for artistic music loop performance were found. Therefore, we built the remote controller system by TouchOSC. It enables to control the complicated music loops and realize pseudo live-coding performance on DJ software.
