"TacTile is a touch-sensitive fabric matrix intended to function as a New Interface for Musical Expression (NIME). It was designed and developed as part of an OCAD Graduate course of the same name. The project integrates materials and learnings from the Advanced Wearables elective. The design features 2 sets of parallel strips of conductive fabric. Both sets of strips connect to a microcontroller, one set to digital pins, the other to analog with the latter reading off values. These values are interpreted and sent to Max/MSP for further processing where they are used to generate sounds. This project is a work in progress and intended for further prototyping and development as part of an independent study in the Winter 2024 term. The design and code draws on openly available resources from and owes significant thanks to Maurin Donneaud, Plusea, Kobakant/How to Get What You Want and Tom Igoe. Developed as part of courses offered by and under the guidance of Adam Tindale and Kate Hartman."
