E002

E002 is software to be used with the Interactive Music Technology Curriculum Project or IMTCP. It is basically the Automata software my brother, Dan Manzo, and I developed in 2009 for cell phone-based performance which was later adapted for a TI:ME Action Research Project funded by a NAMM grant.

E002 incorporates the same functionality and concept: provide a bunch numbers using the onscreen buttons, and then manipulate those numbers to create music. The numbers can be played back in a user-controlled rhythm and tempo, while their timbre, chord voicing, and dynamics can be changed. The tonic, mode and overall chordal harmony can also be changed. Students can use up to four number-based patterns simultaneously which can be linked to the same tempo if desired. Like E001, this software can also be recorded internally or routed out to another audio program for recording and timbre changes.
