In Proceedings of the New Interfaces for Musical Expression Conference. Daejeon, South Korea. 2013. c—i———ta——t—i———o———n— d—o—wn——lo——a——d— This paper addresses the problem that most electrophones and computer-based musical instruments are ephemera lasting long enough to signal academic and technical prowess. They rarely are used more than in a few musical performances. We offer a case study that suggests that longevity of use depends on stabilizing the interface and innovating the implementation to maintain the required stability of performance for players.
