Introduction

The Reactable mobile is a computer music instrument with a revolutionary interface using innovative sound and visualisation technologies. It makes performance of live electronic music a visual and interactive experience and allows the player to have complete control over the music that is generated and permits the audience to follow each step of the performer.

Reactable mobile is based on the Reactable, a tangible instrument which enhances the concept of modular synthesizers. It consists of several blocks each of which represents a different processing module. By moving these objects on the screen the modules are activated and their state is visualized. Parameters of the sound processing modules can be changed by rotating them and through multi-touch gestures.
