Abstract
Nowadays it is not unusual, that applications for mobile devices are using various sensors such as touch screen and accelerometer for their control. We aim to use these mobile sensors for music creation in a way that is intuitive to users. The main contribution of this paper is proposed formula for real-time tempo adaptation for a single user. We also dealt with the control design of musical instruments of different types (to make it similar to their real counterparts) so that users can easily adapt to the device. To test it, we have implemented an application simulating three musical instruments: piano, flute and drums ex-tended by a metronome, editable rhythms and other configuration settings in-cluding tempo adaptation.
