The light matrix is a performative computer interface for rich expression and control over electronic music. Using the light matrix users can simultaneously control many parameters just by using subtle variations in their hand position. For musical purposes, the Light Matrix is especially suited to:

• Spectral morphing.
• Vocoding.
• Timbrel control.
• Granular synthesis.

Features:

• Fully reflexive optics for visualisation and hand proximity measurement at 64 points. 
• Mapping software to translate gestures into MIDI messages and audio signals into light patterns.
