Reactive Backing is a system of plugins designed to allow a Digital Audio Workstation (currently Ableton Live) to react to a musician so that it can act as a reactive backing track, varying tempo, dynamics and also arrangement in an intuitive and reliable fashion. (This is as opposed to systems of score following).

Currently the dynamics and arrangement devices are available commercially as Max for Live patches, at the very low price of £2 or £3 for both. Please see website for more information.

The tempo element of the project is in further development. Methods of creating a wearable accelerometer that can reliably drive a VST or AU plugin (or Max for Live device) are being researched (please see website below for proof of concept). If anyone is interested in this project, either as a potential customer, backer or developer please contact Tim Canfer through website (http://www.reactivebacking.com).
