\nMicrosoft Hands-Free Sound Machine is an eye-controlled, 16-step sound sequencer that provides users the ability to generate musical compositions via a combination of .wav and midi samples, and supports output to physical instruments as well as stage effects.<\/p>\n

Physical instrument playback (with supporting visual affordances) are supported, as well as standard .midi and .wav output.<\/p>\n

One of the things we experimented with in this release was converting pre-recorded .wav clips of PALS* voices, which had been “banked” for conventional use with an AAC** system into sample sets to be adapted and used as instruments for artist.<\/p>\n

Composition and semi-live, loop-based playback are supported via a single-state dwell-based interface.
