Instruments, Controllers, and Interfaces
Baroque Sensor Gesture Controller
A hand mounted motion sensor MIDI controller with gesture control and integration into Ableton Live. This controller was designed to control live vocal processing dynamically using hand gestures reminiscent of those used in Baroque Gesture.
Performance by Jessie Newling using the controller:
Beat Morphing Interface
A touch screen interface developed in Max for Live to control live beat making and morphing systems in Ableton Live.
This was developed as part of Regan’s performance practice with electronic-folk duo Maquina Anonima
Digital Theremins
Two touch screen digital theremins. The first uses synthesis in Max for Live to generate seamlessly pitch bended audio, the second acts as a MIDI MPE controller for synth plugins in a DAW to enable high resolution pitch bending of notes.
Touch Sensitive Glove Controller
A glove based controller with touch sensors built into the fingertips. Notes are triggered by pressing the fingertips onto surfaces, with mappings and effects changed live using a separate controller. This was one of Regan’s first explorations into building physical instruments and controllers with digital integrations.
