Mobile devices constitute a generic platform to make standalone musical instruments for live performance. However, they were not designed for such use and have multiple limitations when compared to other types of instruments. We introduce a framework to quickly design and prototype passive mobile device augmentations to leverage existing features of the device for the end goal of mobile musical instruments. An extended list of examples is provided and the results of a workshop, organized partly to evaluate our framework, are provided.
