In this paper, we develop a vibration pattern editor and a vibration pad controller for a sound-driven vibration system, which can generate diverse vibration effects in realtime by analyzing signals from the sound output of PC. It consists of a DSP system to analyze the sound, a wrist-wearable vibration pad, and its controller. For the vibration pattern editor, we define four elements to describe the pattern the locations of vibrating elements, start time, duration, and vibration intensity. The editor provides a GUI through which users can create such patterns fast and easily, and store them for reuse. We also propose a pattern-interpreting controller. It is able to interpret patterns created by the editor and control the pad accordingly. It can avoid the need to change the controller firmware whenever desired patterns change.
