Towards a Model for Instrumental Mapping in Expert Musical Interaction - A. Hunt

Towards a Model for Instrumental Mapping in Expert Musical Interaction - A. Hunt, M. Wanderley, R. Kirk

A fairly in depth report into mapping strategies as regards DMIs. The conclusions of the report are backed up by the results of a large study carried out at York University by the authors. The article concludes that "Mapping strategies which are not one-to-one can be more engaging to users than one-to-one mappings."

The report also makes the case for multi-layered mapping strategies involving an abstraction layer between the controller outputs and the synthesis inputs.

I certainly think I should attempt to employ a one-to-many or complex (many-to-many) strategy where possible and that if I should avoid direct control of low level parameters such as partial frequencies in additive synthesis.
