Correction: Frid, E. Accessible Digital Musical Instruments—A Review of Musical Interfaces in Inclusive Music Practice. Multimodal Technologies and Interaction 2019, Vol. 3, Page 57

Unfortunately, some errors and imprecise descriptions were made in the final proofreading phase, and the author, therefore, wishes to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:

In the Abstract, it is erroneously stated that the percentage of ADMIs that incorporated vibrotactile feedback was 15.6%. The correct percentage should be 14.5%. The same error is replicated in Section 4.4. Output Modalities, on page 11 (13 ADMIs should be 12 ADMIs), and in Section 6. Conclusions, on page 15. The author would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by these changes. The correct percentage further supports the claim that relatively few of the ADMIs incorporated vibrotactile feedback.

Based on guidelines for writing for accessibility [2], the author would like to refrain from using the term “elderly” and instead use the term “older adults” in Sections 4.5 Target User Group (page 11), 5. Discussion (page 13), and Conclusions (page 15).

Minor formatting errors were identified in Figure 4, on page 9, where the terms “touchscreen” and “touchless” were mistakenly spelled “touch-screen” and “touch-less”. In Table 2, “Book Sections” should be “Book Chapters”. There were also two errors in Table 3, where “Eyes-web” should be spelled “EyesWeb” and the word “sensor” was misspelled as “senor”. The figure and table were updated to account for these mistakes.

The author also wishes to correct the following minor language/formatting mistakes:

Section 1: In 1.1 Introduction on page 1, the sentence “According to Article 27 of the Declaration of the Human Rights” should read “According to Article 27 of the Declaration of Human Rights”. In the same section, as well as in Section 5. Discussion, on page 13, the term “machine-learning” should be read as “machine learning”.

Section 2: In 2.2. Inclusive Music Practice on page 4, “Adapted music and music therapy are related areas which may (…)” should be “Adapted music and music therapy are related areas that may (…)”. In addition, the phrase “(…) Vamvakousis and Ramirez [42], who specifically refers to (…)” should be “(…) Vamvakousis and Ramirez [42], who specifically refer to (…)”. The sentence “(…) higher-level of control of precomposed or algorithmically generated material” in Section 2.3. Related Work, on page 5, should be “(…) higher level of control of precomposed or algorithmically generated material”. On page 6 in the same Section, the sentence referring to [59] should be “(…) assistive technology for ‘the disabled’ (…)”, not “(…) assistive technology for the disabled (…)”.

Section 3: In 3.1 Data Collection, on page 6, the sentence “A comprehensive search on the following databases was initially carried out (…)” should be “A comprehensive search on the following databases was then carried out (…)”. In Section 3.2 Analysis on page 7, the term “copy pasted” should be “copy-pasted”.

Section 4: In 4.1 Publications on page 8, the sentence “(…) the majority of the publications were published as conference proceeding (…)” should end with “proceedings (…)”. Moreover, the following sentence: “The heterogeneity of the field was illustrated by the range of different venues and journal’s (…)”, should end with “journals (…)”. In Section 4.2 Control Interface Type, on page 8, “touchless controllers (using sensors or cameras that enables spatial position detection (…)” should read as “touchless controllers (using sensors or cameras that enable spatial position detection (…)”. On page 9, the phrase “(…) prosthetic devices (instruments that could be worn or acted as an extension of the player’s body) (…) see also Music Mouse by Laurie Spiegel [64].” should be “(…) prosthetic devices (instruments that can be worn or act as an extension of the player’s body) (…) see, e.g., Music Mouse by Laurie Spiegel [64].” On the same page, the caption for Figure 3 should say “(…) used by paralyzed and movement impaired individuals”, not “(…) used for paralyzed and movement impaired individuals”. In Section 4.5 Target User Group on page 11, one sentence reads: “Some user groups were more frequently represented than other”. This should be “Some user groups were more frequently represented than others”. Moreover, the sentence “In addition, some ADMIs were developed for persons with cognitive impairments (4.8%) or persons with person with quadriplegia (…)” should be “In addition, some ADMIs were developed for persons with cognitive impairments (4.8%) or persons with quadriplegia (…)”.

Section 5: In Discussion on page 13, the sentence “In other words, exploiting the haptic modality for certain user groups could potentially be beneficial for certain user groups.” should be “In other words, exploiting the haptic modality could potentially be beneficial for certain user groups.” To avoid repetition of the word “certain”, the next sentence should be “However, it should be noted that some groups might not benefit from certain types of multimodal feedback”.

Section 6: In Conclusions on page 15, the first sentence should be changed from “The fact that his review work (…)” to “The fact that this review work (…)”. Moreover, the BCMI abbreviation stands for “Brain-Controlled Music Interfaces”, not “Brain-Controlled Musical Instruments”. Another sentence reads: “Some key concepts for success of ADMIs are adaptability and customization, iterative prototyping, user participation, iterative prototyping, and interdisciplinary development teams”. Iterative prototyping should not be repeated twice. Finally, the word “huge” should be removed from “(…) there is a huge potential for the field to become more diverse”.

The author confirms that none of these changes have any material impact on the conclusions of the paper and apologizes to the readers for any inconvenience caused.
