Academic paper [.pdf] looking at how new musical inputs (they used to call them instruments) can be improved by looking at HCI research. It’s a nice overview of things like Fitts’ Law, a bit more approachable because it’s in a musical context.
If you geek out on this stuff, there’s more at this archive for the New Interfaces for Musical Expression Workshop, from CHI2001.
