Draw Your Own Controller. The Beatsurfing App has 4 objects
available: the Line, the Polygon, the Fader and the Circle. Each
of them has special features (direction detection, counter,
etc.). You use those objects to create swarms, groups of objects
that you can arrange in layers, duplicate, etc. enabling you to
create unique MIDI controls taht would not occur if you had to
prototype them physically. As you can link objects together and
create interactions between them (“Behaviours”, of which an
example is available here: https://vimeo.com/40236917), there’s
also more to a scene than what meets the eye. How does it work?
Using the Multi-Touch iPad gestures to bring the objects on the
surface, position, resize, color and orient them. - Everything
can be modified seemlessly through the iPad gestures. - Each
object can be positioned on a 3-dimensional space (through
layers), allowing you to create Swarms, Controls that won’t
exist in any physical controller in the World. All four objects
are very simple operator
