How does it work?
When the Digital Conductor is set up, the laser transmitter sends
its laser beam into the sensor. To conduct music, you break the
laser beams with your hand or baton. For every beat, the Digital Conductor
sends a MIDI signal that advances a MIDI player by one beat. This
means that you conduct the music beat by beat.
What software does the Digital Conductor
use?
Digital Conductor software for Mac OS X has been released, and Windows software is being written.
The software will be featured on the website, and here are the features:
* 4-time and 3-time auto-switching (software selects the correct gesture pattern)
* Built-in Soundfont-compatible software synthesizer
* Selectable output to any MIDI device
* Measure/Beat display
* Jump to any measure
Where can I get MIDI files for the Digital Conductor?
The Classical MIDI archives has complete works by almost every
known composer.
Do I have to use a special baton?
No. You can use any baton, or your hand.
Can I conduct in multiple time signatures?
The Digital Conductor setup allows you to conduct 2-time, 3-time,
or 4-time. You can switch between even and odd time on the fly with
the footswitch.
