    Abstract

    ![CDATA[The Smart Controller is a powerful integrated device that integrates control voltage, MIDI, and algorithmic generation into a single hardware device, which in turn eliminates the requirement of a laptop computer at a performance or sound installation. The device is programmed using a graphical iconic environment using a Windows or Macintosh OSX computer. This paper will explain how the Smart Controller was implemented in Anne Norman’s Garden Bells installation, where the Smart Controller played bells by actuating solenoids in response to scheduled MIDI sequences and environmental events. This paper will detail how the Smart Controller patches were incrementally and iteratively developed in order to allow the composer to effectively develop the remaining hardware portion of the installation.]]
