===== Overview =====

Different strokes is part of the project [[projects:interface_design:graphical_interfaces|Graphical Interfaces for Musical Performance and Improvisation]].

Different Strokes is a software system for performing music on a computer. It
aims to allow a performer to create much of his or her performance sequences
on-stage instead of relying on prepared control material.

The program resembles a freehand drawing application. The drawn strokes create
animated figures whose motion is mapped to sample playback. The musician
performs by assembling networks of strokes live, generating audio patterns.
