This work addresses the need for better tools in music technology by applying HCI knowledge, but it is incremental as it reviews and adapts existing methods.
The paper tackles the problem of designing and evaluating new interfaces for musical expression by reviewing HCI literature on input device evaluation and design, and suggests a set of musical tasks for evaluating existing controllers.
This paper reviews the existing literature on input device evaluation and design in human-computer interaction (HCI) and discusses possible applications of this knowledge to the design and evaluation of new interfaces for musical expression. Specifically, a set of musical tasks is suggested to allow the evaluation of different existing controllers.
