The Music Paint Machine
All interfaces are programmed in Max Msp.The first interface was designed by dr. Pieter Coussement. All following interfaces were designed by drs. Bart Moens.

In the third prototype, major changes where made in the interface in order to allow for a dynamic and adaptable mapping:
  • mapping are established by connecting input and output on the basis of a grid (A).
  •  different drawing options (e.g. direct, linear, exponential) were added (B)
  • instruments can be chosen and the register of the instrument can be adapted (C).
  • different colour circles can be chosen (D).
  • several submodules allow adapting the range of mapped values by setting minima and maxima of values to be measured (e.g. only send values when above or below a certain value) or of mapped values (E).
  • The canvas can be split (horizontally and vertically) to allow a modelling modus. The teacher or a learner makes a painting first and a learner can try to imitate what has been painted (F, G)
  • A grid modus was added, allowing the introduction of measure, beats per measure. A metronome can be activated, letting the beat lines of the grid lighten up to show the beats. There is also an option to let the metronome sound. 
 The configuration of chosen settings can be stored as a level, allowing the quick activation of certain mappings, values or visualizations (e.g. grid or not).
