  • Exploring Polyrhythms, Polymeters, and Polytempi with the Universal Grid Sequencer Framework
    Exploring Polyrhythms, Polymeters, and Polytempi with the Universal Grid Sequencer framework SAMUEL J. HUNT, Creative Technologies Laboratory Fig. 1. Large format grid controller, made from 4 smaller grid controllers Polyrhythms, Polymeters, and Polytempo are compositional techniques that describe pulses which are desynchronous between two or more sequences of music. Digital systems permit the sequencing of notes to a near-infinite degree of resolution, permitting an exponential number of complex rhythmic attributes in the music. Exploring such techniques within existing popular music sequencing software and notations can be challenging to generally work with and notate effectively. Step sequencers provide a simple and effective interface for exploring any arbitrary division of time into an even number of steps, with such interfaces easily expressible on grid based music controllers. The paper therefore has two differing but related outputs. Firstly, to demonstrate a framework for working with multiple physical grid controllers forming a larger unified grid, and provide a consolidated set of tools for programming music instruments forit. Secondly, to demonstrate how such a system provides a low-entry threshold for exploring Polyrhytms, Polymeters and Polytempo relationships using desynchronised step sequencers. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → User interface programming; • Applied computing → Sound and music computing. Author’s address: Samuel J.

  • Computer Mediated Music Production: a Study of Abstraction and Activity
    Computer mediated music production: A study of abstraction and activity by Matthew Duignan A thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science. Victoria University of Wellington 2008 Abstract Human Computer Interaction research has a unique challenge in under- standing the activity systems of creative professionals, and designing the user-interfaces to support their work. In these activities, the user is involved in the process of building and editing complex digital artefacts through a process of continued refinement, as is seen in computer aided architecture, design, animation, movie-making, 3D modelling, interactive media (such as shockwave-flash), as well as audio and music production. This thesis exam- ines the ways in which abstraction mechanisms present in music production systems interplay with producers’ activity through a collective case study of seventeen professional producers. From the basis of detailed observations and interviews we examine common abstractions provided by the ubiqui- tous multitrack-mixing metaphor and present design implications for future systems. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Robert Biddle and James Noble for their endless hours of guidance and feedback during this process, and most of all for allowing me to choose such a fun project. Michael Norris and Lissa Meridan from the Victoria University music department were also invaluable for their comments and expertise. I would also like to thank Alan Blackwell for taking the time to discuss my work and provide valuable advice. I am indebted to all of my participants for the great deal of time they selflessly offered, and the deep insights they shared into their professional world.

  • A Users Guide to the Roland SE-02.Pages
    3 OSCILLATOR ANALOG MONOPHONIC SYNTHESIZER SE-02 A USER’S GUIDE TO THE ROLAND/STUDIO ELECTRONICS SE-02 1 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This manual was assembled, illustrated, and written by Sunshine Jones. All of the contents is taken from either his personal experience, existing documentation, and techniques submitted and found in the public domain. The document is intended as a companion guide for the Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02 Synthesizer Module. It is in no way offered as a criticism, or intended to be an authoritative guide to replace the official documentation which accompanies the commercial purchase of Roland Boutique, or Roland AIRA musical instruments. Rather, this manual is intended to support the musician, the user of these and other synthesizer modules and inspire them to create music, share sounds, and fully realize the synthesizers in front of them. In the tradition of owner’s manuals, rarely are they opened until problems arise. We tell you over and over again to RTFM, but do you listen? No, no you don’t. Manuals should be both tools for reference and instruction, as well as inspirational guides to possibility. An owner’s manual should be equally a pre purchase discovery, meant to inspire the curious with capability and possibility, and a post purchase celebration of depth, technique, guidance, and surprises. But this is by no means the last word. So many people have read and re read a manual only to still have no idea what the manual was attempting to suggest. This owner’s manual is offered free of charge to anyone curious, or frustrated by the tiny little leaflet which covers the operations of the SE-02 in several languages, as a legible alternative to the official documentation.

  • Leksykon Polskiej I Światowej Muzyki Elektronicznej
    Piotr Mulawka Leksykon polskiej i światowej muzyki elektronicznej „Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego-Kultura w sieci” Wydawca: Piotr Mulawka [email protected] © 2020 Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone ISBN 978-83-943331-4-0 2 Przedmowa Muzyka elektroniczna narodziła się w latach 50-tych XX wieku, a do jej powstania przyczyniły się zdobycze techniki z końca XIX wieku m.in. telefon- pierwsze urządzenie służące do przesyłania dźwięków na odległość (Aleksander Graham Bell), fonograf- pierwsze urządzenie zapisujące dźwięk (Thomas Alv Edison 1877), gramofon (Emile Berliner 1887). Jak podają źródła, w 1948 roku francuski badacz, kompozytor, akustyk Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) nagrał za pomocą mikrofonu dźwięki naturalne m.in. (śpiew ptaków, hałas uliczny, rozmowy) i próbował je przekształcać. Tak powstała muzyka nazwana konkretną (fr. musigue concrete). W tym samym roku wyemitował w radiu „Koncert szumów”. Jego najważniejszą kompozycją okazał się utwór pt. „Symphonie pour un homme seul” z 1950 roku. W kolejnych latach muzykę konkretną łączono z muzyką tradycyjną. Oto pionierzy tego eksperymentu: John Cage i Yannis Xenakis. Muzyka konkretna pojawiła się w kompozycji Rogera Watersa. Utwór ten trafił na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu „The Body” (1970). Grupa Beaver and Krause wprowadziła muzykę konkretną do utworu „Walking Green Algae Blues” z albumu „In A Wild Sanctuary” (1970), a zespół Pink Floyd w „Animals” (1977). Pierwsze próby tworzenia muzyki elektronicznej miały miejsce w Darmstadt (w Niemczech) na Międzynarodowych Kursach Nowej Muzyki w 1950 roku. W 1951 roku powstało pierwsze studio muzyki elektronicznej przy Rozgłośni Radia Zachodnioniemieckiego w Kolonii (NWDR- Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk). Tu tworzyli: H. Eimert (Glockenspiel 1953), K. Stockhausen (Elektronische Studie I, II-1951-1954), H.

  • Product Informations Product Informations
    Product Informations Product Informations A WORD ABOUT SYNTHESIS A - Substractive (or analog) synthesis (usually called “Analog” because it was the synthesis you could find on most of the first analog synthesizers). It starts out with a waveform rich in harmonics, such as a saw or square wave, and uses filters to make the finished sound. Here are the main substractive synthesis components : Oscillators: The device creating a soundwave is usually called an oscillator. The first synthesizers used analog electronic oscillator circuits to create waveforms. These units are called VCO's (Voltage Controlled Oscillator). More modern digital synthesizers use DCO's instead (Digitally Controlled Oscillators). A simple oscillator can create one or two basic waveforms - most often a sawtooth-wave - and a squarewave. Most synthesizers can also create a completely random waveform - a noise wave. These waveforms are very simple and completely artificial - they hardly ever appear in the nature. But you would be surprised to know how many different sounds can be achieved by only using and combining these waves. 2 / 17 Product Informations Filters: To be able to vary the basic waveforms to some extent, most synthesizers use filters. A filter is an electronic circuit, which works by smoothing out the "edges" of the original waveform. The Filter section of a synthesizer may be labled as VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter) or DCF (Digitally Controlled Filter). A Filter is used to remove frequencies from the waveform so as to alter the timbre. •Low-Pass Filters allows the lower frequencies to pass through unaffected and filters out (or blocks out) the higher frequencies.

Rogozinsky ICSC 2015 Saint Petersburg, Russia 2015 ICSC 2 – 4 October 2015 2 Proceedings of the Third International Csound Conference © Gleb G. Rogozinsky, 2016 © The Bonch-Bruevich St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications, 2016 ISBN 978-5-89160-124-6 УДК 004.9 UDC 004.9 http://csound.github.io/icsc2015/ 2015 ICSC 3 FOREWORD Dear reader, You have before you the proceedings of a unique conference. Csound is a computer music language that has been continually evolving since its inception in 1986. During that time it has united people of all ages from around the world and from a wide range of disciplines: audio technology, media programming, contemporary, academic and avant-garde music, digital signal processing, telecommunications and electronic dance music. The Csound community presents a unique forum of users where programming and compositional issues are discussed in equal measure and with equal energy. A special aspect of this conference was that it took place in St. Petersburg, Russia: a city of great culture, world-renowned museums and beautiful white nights, and the city where Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov and Dmitry Shostokovich wrote their most famous pieces. Without doubt, St. Petersburg merited hosting the 3rd International Csound Conference. Russia has great heritage in the world of electronic music, being the country from which the theremin and the ANS synthesizer originated, but in more recent times Russia has seen less innovation, so I am particularly proud to be able to contribute to remedying this by hosting this conference.
