This project aims at studying how recent interactive and interactions technologies would help extend how we play theguitar, thus defining the "multimodal guitar". Our contributions target three main axes: audio analysis, gestural control and audio synthesis. For this purpose, we designed anddeveloped a freely-available toolbox for augmented guitarperformances, compliant with the PureData and Max/MSPenvironments, gathering tools for: polyphonic pitch estimation, fretboard visualization and grouping, pressure sensing,modal synthesis, infinite sustain, rearranging looping and"smart" harmonizing.
