Abstract This paper reports on two Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) in the ConGAS European Cost Action. Several sound models and (musical instrument) interfaces were combined to study how DJ gestures of scratching can be applied to new situations. In one experiment, the gestures were used to control a physics-based model of friction sounds, for instance to simulate the sound of a bowed violin string. In the other experiment, DJ gestures from the program Skipproof were adapted to the Reactable framework, allowing users to perform the complicated DJ gestures with ease. This paper describes each model and the adaption and implementation of the models.
