Chorus Digitalis is a choir of gesture controlled digital singers. Chorus Digitalis is based on Cantor Digitalis, a gesture controlled singing voice synthesizer, and the Méta-Mallette, an environment designed for collective electronic music and video performances. Cantor Digitalis is an improved formant synthesizer, using the RT-CALM voice source model and source-filter interaction mechanisms. Chorus Digitalis is the result of the integration of voice synthesis in the Méta-Mallette environment. Each virtual voice is controlled by both a graphic tablet and a joystick. Polyphonic singing performances of Chorus Digi-talis with four players will be given at the conference. The Méta-Mallette and Cantor Digitalis are implemented using Max/MSP.
