Carla and I recorded our vocal line by recording it as MIDI data into Logic and using Kontakt as a plug-in to bounce the samples. It was still incredibly difficult to get the samples to trigger from the same movement uniformly. With alot of practise this could be easier, however the following problems are apparent:

• The samples are triggered on a first in first out basis, so if an arm movement accidently triggers the shoulder joint instead of the elbow the wrong sample will be play and the intended sample will be discarded. There is no way around this because we wanted the samples to play one after the other, and so turned note stealing off.
• The rhythm of the dance was constricted because one had to wait for each sample to finish before performing the next movement to trigger the next sample.

We recorded the nearest match to what we intended. We are still deciding whether we should rerecord this vocal line ourselves to make it sound less disjointed.
