Better Interfaces for Music Software
Arthur Carabott writes about his experiments to improve the user interfaces of software for making music:

- As I am interacting with a computer, what can it do for me that traditional equipment can’t?
Example: Improve on Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release controls by constructing an envelope with your voice.
