This is a demonstration of the software i wrote for my msc In Music Technology at DKIT under the supervision of Rory Walsh. The software is used to create custom multitouch user interfaces for controlling Csound Instruments. It allows users to define gui elements, such as sliders and buttons, in their csound file. The .csd file is parsed by csmultitouch to retrieve this information. Said information is then used to create the multitouch interface using the pymt framework. The available gui elements are: Horizontal sliders, Vertical Sliders, Push Buttons, Toggle Buttons, XY Pads, VU Meters, and Text Labels, I would like to thank Rory Walsh for all of his help, everyone at www.nuigroup.com, and all of the people on the pymt IRC channel, without your help this project would not have been possible. The video shows my DIY multitouch screen running csmultitouch. The user interface which was created by csmultitouch shows two samplers and a crossfader between them. Each sampler can record a four second sample, once the sample is recorded it begins looping. The user can then manipulate the audio: each sampler has controls for changing the pitch/speed, volume, frequency freeze and amplitude freeze. each sampler also has a VU meter. The idea behind this demonstration was to show how a combination of csmultitouch and a Multitouch display could add a new dimension to live Electroacoustic Music performances
