Found this recent Ph.D. thesis:
Juha Arrasvuori, Playing and making music: exploring the similarities
between video games and music-making software.

Wow, thanks, this is very interesting. From a quick glance at the
Table of Contents it seems, that the author unfortunatly only explored
the similarities between "traditional" music making software as used
in a recording studio, i.e. Multitrack recorders.
What I personally would find interesting would be a comparison of
instrument-like musik making software, that is, software that you can
"play" like an instrument compared to "playing" a video game. Good
gamers reach incredible levels of virtuosity with their controllers
(mouse, gamepad etc.) that really compare to the virtuosity of, say, a
pianist in some cases.
Anyone knows any papers in this direction?
Ciao
