The Modality framework directly allows easy on the fly re-mapping of control input to sound production allowing for multiple control analogies to be used in parallel with the same physical controllers b...y communicating individually and multiply to mapping scenarios. By promoting the idea of 'focus' from physical control to mappings at global and local environment levels instrumentalists can point interaction at different elements of the abstract instrumental model by using the physical control itself to remap the control scenario meanings. In short, the controller controls the meaning of the control.
Modality was started by Jeff Carey and Bjornar Habbestadt, who invited Alberto de Campo, Wouter Snoei and Marije Baalman in September 2010 to BEK (Bergen, Norway), for a one week residency to bring their ideas, code and minds together to create tools to be able to easily put together performance interfaces.
From May 11 until 21, the Modality team will be in residence at STEIM, continuing their work and joined by more collaborators, namely Hannes Hölzl, Till Bovermann, Robert van Heumen, and Miguel Negrao.
During this users group meeting, the Modality team will present the tools as they have been developed up to now, and discuss their plans for the future of this powerful addition to SuperCollider. They will give a hands-on demonstration of what is possible up to now. The Modality team is keenly looking forward to engaging in a discussion about the ideas and tools that others in the SC community will bring to the meeting. If you have controllers you use or want to use in your performance setup, be sure to bring them along!
