This paper presents a study of gestural control applied to sound synthesis.It discusses an implementation of realtime gestural control of the CHANT software (Max/MSP).The input device consists of a Wacom graphic tablet instrumented with additional sensors.A study has been carried out on the selection of transducer technologies to match the available synthesis parameters, based on existing literature.In order to prove the validity of previous studies, different user tests have been devised and implemented.User reactions were annotated and further evaluated.An exploratory analysis of the tests' results is presented which tends to validate previous works.
