Human Instruments: Accessible Musical Instruments for People with Varied Physical Ability
Abstract
There are few ways in which persons, who do not have the use of their hands or arms, are able make music or control complex computer systems. Music as an expressive output is key to the full development of the human mind. Human Instruments is dedicated to the development and production of accessible musical instruments playable at a professional level, as well as computer control interfaces. We are currently user-testing three new, uniquely accessible devices, for their effectiveness in expressive music creation. Preliminary results are compelling.

HI NOTE employs Head movements (Head) and Breath (Mouth) channels.
“The employed channels are Head movements (Head) and Breath (Mouth).”
From Hands-Free Accessible Digital Musical Instruments: Conceptual Framework, Challenges, and Perspectives (2020) · cites this paper as [126]
In HI NOTE, the pressure parameter of Breath can be alternatively mapped to Note on/off (Toggle) or to the rate of Note on events (Continuous range), with higher pressure values producing faster ribattuto effects.
“Regarding the latter, audio-video documentation shows that the pressure parameter of Breath can be alternatively mapped to Note on/off (Toggle) or to the rate of Note on events (Continuous range), with higher pressure values producing faster ''ribattuto'' effects.”

In HI NOTE, head movements are mapped to pitch, discretized as a set of notes visible on the screen (Discrete range).
“The former is mapped to pitch, discretized as a set of notes visible on the screen (Discrete range).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
