Abstract

In this paper we present an extension of an existing system, called iSaxEx, capable of generating expressive musical performances based on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) techniques. The previous version of iSaxEx used pre-fixed criteria within the different CBR steps and, therefore, there was no room for user interaction. This paper discusses the necessity of user interaction during the CBR process and how this decision enhances the capabilities and the usability of the system. The set of evaluation experiments conducted show the advantages of iSaxEx's new interactive functionality, particularly for future educational applications of the system.
