Realtime Control
Realtime performance using Leap Motion
There are many ways to control the many functions to achieve a convincing realtime performance.
You can use hardware faders, a breath controller,
TouchOSC on an iPad is a good choice.
Bernd Keul provides a nice video example of controlling CH-Orchestral Winds using the Leap Motion sensor controller together with Geko MIDI, the controller app for Leap Motion.
The leap motion is the only controller which enables to control multiple functions at a time in a pretty intuitive way.
