In Proceedings of the New Interfaces for Musical Expression Conference. Daejeon, South Korea. 2013. do———w——n———l——o——ad—— c——i—t———a——t—i—o—n—— 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.
