Abstract
This paper proposes a prototype of an architectural, algorithms, and graphical user interface (GUI) design of “Ranaad-Xek,” a traditional Thai musical instrument application for Android tablet PCs. The application provides percussion methods for a player as real as a physical instrument with both of traditional Thai and universal organology. The application supports both of soft and hard sound tone, which generated by percussion mallet types. The player can freely multitouches on wooden bar to produce instrument sounds and record the user own songs.
