Abstract

SketchTone is an iPad application for sketching music. Wacom was interested in the potential of their pen and tablet technology for musicians. The focus of the project was on creatives who make music on the side to use such an application for early composing (doodling) of music. While the final platform for such an application is to be the Bamboo Dock on the desktop, the iPad was chosen for prototyping and testing purposes. During the project, a strategy was also proposed for Wacom to use iPad apps as popular samples for more powerful tablet+software solutions that they offer on the desktop. The project started with an exploration phase followed by three consecutive prototyping iterations. The final result of the project is a proof-of-concept functional iPad app.
