About

Gilberto Bernardes has a multifaceted activity as a musician, professor, and researcher in sound and music computing. He holds a Ph.D. in digital media from the University of Porto and a Master of Music, cum laude, from the Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten. His research agenda focuses on sampling-based synthesis techniques and pitch spaces, whose findings have been reported in over 60 scientific publications. His artistic activity counts with regular concerts in venues with recognized merit, such as Asia Culture Center (Korea); New York University (USA); Concertgebouw (Holland); and Casa da Música (Portugal). Bernardes is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Porto and a senior researcher at INESC TEC.

Abstract
Digital musical instruments have become increasingly prevalent in musical creation and production. Optimizing their usability and, particularly, their expressiveness, has become essential to their study and practice. The absence of multimodal feedback, present in traditional acoustic instruments, has been identified as an obstacle to complete performer–instrument interaction in particular due to the lack of embodied control. Mobile-based digital musical instruments present a particular case by natively providing the possibility of enriching basic auditory feedback with additional multimodal feedback. In the experiment presented in this article, we focused on using visual and haptic feedback to support and enrich auditory content to evaluate the impact on basic musical tasks (i.e., note pitch tuning accuracy and time). The experiment implemented a protocol based on presenting several musical note examples to participants and asking them to reproduce them, with their performance being compared between different multimodal feedback combinations. Collected results show that additional visual feedback was found to reduce user hesitation in pitch tuning, allowing users to reach the proximity of desired notes in less time. Nonetheless, neither visual nor haptic feedback was found to significantly impact pitch tuning time and accuracy compared to auditory-only feedback. © 2022 by the authors.
