NewMusicBox:Laptop Music For Beginners (o un poco de autobombo)

LiSa is a real-time sampling performance environment that has been recently rebuilt for the Macintosh OS X operating system, and it lends itself to intuitive and immediate use in live environments. A graphical environment, it looks like this, is already available wherein it is a very intuitive process to set up a real-time sampling environment, allowing one to manipulate their music live in ways that would have been unthinkable before the age of digital audio. The program allows for a virtual instrument of samples or for processing of an audio input. These sounds can be controlled and processed in very complex ways with real-time MIDI control. Complex systems of triggering and processing can be set up using drawable tables and interactive interfaces. This program takes a lot of the stress out of building real-time performance systems, and still allows for a great deal of customization. This program has been around for a while, and has a very large base of performers using it on a regular basis. This has helped it become a solid tool for live performance, and it is programmed essentially by one person who reads his email and listens to suggestions. You couldn't ask for more personalized user support. Here is an example of a piece of music using LiSa taken from the user mailing list, by an artist named kanito using LiSa to interact with a billiard table, entitled Kanito_duo# 1_billar (part 7).
