Electronic Music Glove using Sound Card

We developed an electronic music glove (EMG) system that could play musical scores in real time processing. The EMG system interfaces with the signal coming from the controller to the sound card in the computer. The computer, according to the status of the finger and foot switches, generates the signals to the speaker systems using the application C++ program by making use of MIDI message. The EMG systems can control up to several octave notes and duration of sound, and several musical performance expressions such as chorus, reverberation, rhythm, and volume. Finally, our EMG could play the performance of simple music depending on the choice of any kind of musical instruments in the sound card in computer systems.
