ℹ ABOUT

The Jamboxx Adaptive Music Controller is part of a suite of web-based tools designed for people with disabilities. These pages are built for educational purposes and research and are distributed at no cost. This tool is part of the broader Jamboxx Infinite project — a formal initiative designed to help people with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities experience the joy of making music.

▶ GETTING STARTED

This controller tracks your nose position using your webcam and uses head movement to play music. Multiple input methods are supported — this version starts with nose tracking.

QUICK START:
① Click ACTIVATE — camera starts, a 5-second countdown begins
② Look straight ahead to set your center point
③ Dip your nose down onto a note pad to play
④ Move left or right to select different notes on the arc
⑤ Choose SOUND to play through the browser, or MIDI to send notes to a DAW

In MIDI mode, notes are sent to your DAW via a virtual MIDI cable. We highly recommend Ableton Live, Reaper, and BandLab, along with any program that supports virtual MIDI cables.

⚡ LATENCY TIP: Avoid high latency — it causes delays between head movement and sound. Check your DAW buffer settings and use ASIO or CoreAudio drivers for best results. For more information visit isatma.org.
