  • Invariance of Controller Fingerings Across a Continuum of Tunings
    Invariance of Controller Fingerings across a Continuum of Tunings Andrew Milne∗∗, William Setharesyy, and James Plamondonzz May 26, 2007 Introduction On the standard piano-style keyboard, intervals and chords have different shapes in each key. For example, the geometric pattern of the major third C–E is different from the geometric pattern of the major third D–F]. Similarly, the major scale is fingered differently in each of the twelve keys (in this usage, fingerings are specified without regard to which digits of the hand press which keys). Other playing surfaces, such as the keyboards of [Bosanquet, 1877] and [Wicki, 1896], have the property that each interval, chord, and scale type have the same geometric shape in every key. Such keyboards are said to be transpositionally invariant [Keisler, 1988]. There are many possible ways to tune musical intervals and scales, and the introduction of computer and software synthesizers makes it possible to realize any sound in any tuning [Carlos, 1987]. Typically, however, keyboard controllers are designed to play in a single tuning, such as the familiar 12-tone equal temperament (12-TET) which divides the octave into twelve perceptually equal pieces. Is it possible to create a keyboard surface that is capable of supporting many possible tunings? Is it possible to do so in a way that analogous musical intervals are fingered the same throughout the various tunings, so that (for example) the 12-TET fifth is fingered the same as the Just fifth and as the 17-TET fifth?

    HEXAGONAL CYLINDRICAL LATTICES: A UNIFIED HELICAL STRUCTURE IN 3D PITCH SPACE FOR MAPPING FLAT MUSICAL ISOMORPHISM A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science University of Regina By Hanlin Hu Regina, Saskatchewan December 2015 Copytright c 2016: Hanlin Hu UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Hanlin Hu, candidate for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science, has presented a thesis titled, Hexagonal Cylindrical Lattices: A Unified Helical Structure in 3D Pitch Space for Mapping Flat Musical Isomorphism, in an oral examination held on December 8, 2015. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Dominic Gregorio, Department of Music Supervisor: Dr. David Gerhard, Department of Computer Science Committee Member: Dr. Yiyu Yao, Department of Computer Science Committee Member: Dr. Xue-Dong Yang, Department of Computer Science Chair of Defense: Dr. Allen Herman, Department of Mathematics & Statistics Abstract An isomorphic keyboard layout is an arrangement of notes of a scale such that any musical construct has the same shape regardless of the root note. The mathematics of some specific isomorphisms have been explored since the 1700s, however, only recently has a general theory of isomorphisms been developed such that any set of musical intervals can be used to generate a valid layout. These layouts have been implemented in the design of electronic musical instruments and software applications.

  • Just Intonation Keyboard: Isomorphic Keyboard Reimagined
    Bridges 2018 Conference Proceedings Just Intonation Keyboard: Isomorphic Keyboard Reimagined Marek Žabka Katedra muzikológie, Univerzita Komenského, Bratislava, Slovakia; [email protected] Abstract The construction of a musical user interface providing access to all pure harmonies is a very complex problem that defies a completely satisfying solution. The notion of the so-called isomorphic keyboard, invented by Bosanquet and advocated by many key figures in tuning theory since the 19th century, offers a good but not a perfect solution. In this paper, I propose an alternative approach based on the concept of a ‘just intonation (JI) plane.’ A JI plane is a true isomorphic image of higher-dimensional affine spaces modeling tones in extended just intonation. JI keyboards are defined as sets of keys located in a JI plane. Introduction Since ancient times, musicians have preferred systems of tones based on simple frequency ratios. Two tones with frequency ratios such as 2/1 (octave), 3/2 (perfect fifth), 5/4 (just major third), and 7/4 (natural seventh) are perceived as pleasant and pure. At the same time, it is highly preferable that a system of tones can be accessed through a user interface with a regular structure. Musical keyboards should be such user interfaces, and their regular structure is often described through the notion of isomorphism, in which equivalent spatial patterns on a keyboard should result in equivalent patterns in musical pitch. The purity of harmonies and the regularity of the structure seem to be two crucial principles guiding the construction of musical keyboards. The layout of a standard piano keyboard tuned in the usual 12-tone equal temperament adheres to neither of the two principles.

The project constitutes an audio/visual exploration of historical tuning systems and temperaments. Most contemporary Western audiences will seldom if ever encounter harmony outside of post-Renaissance tuning conventions. This material highlights some of those pre-orthodox harmonic relationships which existed throughout most of history, and continue to exist outside of the sphere of Western influence. This corresponding paper documents that history, as well as recent correlates in advances of acoustic ecology and music as therapeutic intervention. Marcheschi 2/66 List of Figures 1.

  • MIDI Controller Designs: the Best Options for Performing Live Digital Music by Joey Earnest Research Procedures in Music Dr
    Earnest 1 MIDI Controller Designs: The Best Options for Performing Live Digital Music By Joey Earnest Research Procedures in Music Dr. Brown Fall, 2013 Earnest 2 The sound of music has been shaped by mechanics, culture, and biology. Modern technology has changed the way in which music is physically performed and composed. In the world of digital music, tools like midi-controllers give performers control over a wide array of musical parameters, in real time. Highly refined computer programs can make this process even more streamlined. Traditionally, piano keyboard styled midi and synthesizer controllers have ​ ​ been the standard note input devices for production and performance purposes. Considering that the actual design of the piano keyboard must accommodate physical sound-making mechanisms, such as strings and chimes, one can see its legitimacy as an acoustic “controller.” However, a digital platform, such as an isomorphic keyboard, eliminates the need for the controller to be laid ​ ​ out over several feet. The traditional piano keyboard, although ergonomic in many respects, does display limitations. For example, the piano-keyboard only utilizes left to right and to a limited degree, up and down, while humans have the ability to move their hands in many directions along three axes, including up and down, left to right, forward and back. The only reason piano keyboards are still relevant as midi controllers is because of the traditionalism within various musical communities that require a piano style keyboard to reproduce a specific idiom, or have been trained in that method. Isomorphic midi-controllers and other accelerometer or sensor based controllers that utilize all three spatial dimensions, are superior in design to traditional piano style controllers for the transmission of digital music data.
