%0 Conference Paper %B International Computer Music Conference %D 1998 %T Communication of Musical Gesture using the AES/EBU Digital Audio Standard %A Freed, Adrian %A Wessel, David %C Ann Arbor, Michigan %I International Computer Music Association %P 220-223 %U http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/publication/communication_musical_gesture_using_aes_ebu_digital_audio_standard %X We have adapted the AES/EBU digital audio standard to the coding and transmission of transduced gestures. We discuss the advantages of the AES/EBU standard over MIDI and other candidate methods and describe alternative mappings of gestural data to the audio streams of the AES/EBU protocol. We conclude with a description of a reactive glove system and a continuous position-sensing keyboard controller using AES/EBU communications.
