Best regards, Stefano Papetti Abstract Together with audition, the sense of touch is key when playing traditional musical instruments, supporting performance control (e.g., timing, intonation) and expressivity. Conversely, while current digital musical interfaces usually offer touch-mediated interaction, they currently do not provide a natural physical experience to the performer. We argue that future digital musical instruments (DMIs) providing advanced haptic feedback may offer enhanced user experience and performance. Also, haptic feedback would facilitate the access to DMIs for persons with somatosensory loss, the visually and even the hearing impaired, and it may provide an effective means for musical tuition and guidance. However, the details of how the auditory and haptic modalities are actually exploited in instrumental performance are still largely unknown, and require further research. For this reason, and due to still unanswered technological requirements, the design of haptic DMIs is not yet established. To investigate such issues, a strongly interdisciplinary scientific approach is required, bringing together fields such as haptic technology, psychophysics of audition and touch, physics of musical instruments, applied psychology and human-computer interaction. The workshop will present the latest researches (and related open issues) on the role of the haptic modality in the musician-instrument interplay, and on the implementation of haptic feedback in digital musical instruments.
