2. Freepad : A Custom Paper-based MIDI Interface

Freepad is a piece of software that enables anyone with a webcamera, paper and a pen, to draw their own MIDI interfaces. In three simple steps it allows the user to establish an interface which can send out MIDI notes for playback with their preferred sampler, synthesizer or otherwise. The system operates by using computer vision techniques to interpret when a shape that you have drawn is struck. These same techniques are what enable Freepad to be a customizable and accessible MIDI interface for those who require.

For questions relating to Freepad please email Sungkuk (k612051@ssu.ac.kr) or Andrew (aha50@sfu.ca).
