TL;DR
This paper introduces iKlax, a novel interactive music format that organizes audio files without digital treatments, enabling easy use for both the general public and professionals through a new constraints-based model.
Contribution
The paper presents a new file organization model for interactive music that does not rely on digital audio processing, including a constraints system and solver, suitable for diverse users.
Findings
Developed a new interactive music format called iKlax
Created three products demonstrating the format's capabilities
Designed a constraints system and solver for music interaction
Abstract
In this paper, we are presenting a new model for interactive music. Unlike most interactive systems, our model is based on file organization, but does not require digital audio treatments. This model includes a definition of a constraints system and its solver. The products of this project are intended for the general public, inexperienced users, as well as professional musicians, and will be distributed commercially. We are here presenting three products of this project. The difficulty of this project is to design a technology and software products for interactive music which must be easy to use by the general public and by professional composers.
