Type: book section

Abstract
This paper presents ImmertableApp, an innovative multimodal interface based in tangible interaction in which audio edition is managed through physical controllers. The system is composed by two different main components: a tangible tabletop interface in which the sound parameters can be changed by the manipulation of physical controllers; and a graphic editor interface for setting the configuration of the controllers and their corresponding parameters through a tablet device. In this way ImmertableApp adds to a musical tangible interface the new possibilities of software interfaces: personalization for being adapted to different users, either experts or beginners and, so that it can be used as a didactic tool of different concepts related with sound synthesis. The system has been early assessed with experts in order to obtain feedback about its utility in different fields of music education. The results of the evaluation give the basis for interesting improvements in future versions.
