GiMeSpace TouchSpace Synth is a unique virtual synthesizer designed to make digital music production highly interactive by letting you play using a touch screen, mouse, or webcam gestures. The core architecture relies on customizable frequency bands and custom sample imports rather than traditional oscillator waveforms. Key Features
Gesture & Touch Controls: Play notes by touching your screen, clicking your mouse, or moving your hands in front of a webcam. For webcam mode, raising your hand increases the volume, and moving it down releases the note.
Two Play Modes: Choose between fluent frequencies (continuous pitch glides like a violin) or standard notes (discrete pitches like a piano).
WAV Sound Import: Create custom instruments instantly by importing a short WAV file (at least 0.69 seconds). The synth auto-converts the audio and breaks it down into customizable frequency bands.
Pencil Sound Shaping: Open the instrument window to draw and sculpt frequency bands manually using a pencil tool.
Safe-Note Playing: Disable specific notes in the settings menu to prevent hitting accidental off-key notes while performing.
MIDI Support: Play registered hardware MIDI devices directly or route signals to external DAWs using a virtual MIDI loop driver. Program Editions
The software is split into three performance tiers depending on your computer hardware:
32-bit Edition: Low processing overhead; runs on any standard CPU made after 2005.
64-bit Edition: Requires AVX/FMA enabled processors; reduces audio latency by half compared to the 32-bit version.
64-bit Extreme Edition: Features 4x the frequency bands for ultra-smooth pitch transitions and deep low-end scales (MIDI notes 0–127). Requires a quad-core processor to handle the extra audio processing. Setup Guide
Follow these steps to set up the software and start playing:
Installation: Download the client from the GiMeSpace Official Page or the Microsoft Store. Run the installer on Windows 7 or later.
Audio Adjustments: Navigate to the Settings menu to define your instrument’s Attack and Release times. Use a short attack for snappy sounds like a piano, or a long attack for swell sounds like a flute.
Webcam Alignment: If playing without a keyboard, point your webcam slightly above your head. The software will map the horizontal axis to pitch (low notes on the left, high on the right) and the vertical axis to volume.
Instrument Generation: Click the music note icon to open the editing window. Use the import button to load your custom WAV samples, or adjust the frequency sliders to balance lower and higher bands.
Recording: Once configured, press the internal Record button to save your live performances straight to a local WAV file.
If you would like to expand your audio workflow, let me know if you need help routing the synth into a DAW like Ableton or FL Studio, or if you need instructions on configuring a virtual MIDI loop driver. GiMeSpace TouchSpace Synth
