  • Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments
    Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments Roman Kogan April 15th, 2008 1 Theremin: the birth of electronic music It is impossible to speak of electronic music and not speak of Theremin (remember that high-pitch melody sound sound in Good Vibrations ?) Theremin was the instrument that has started it all. Invented remarkably early - around 1917 - in Russia by Leon Termen (or Theremin, spelling varies) it was the first practical (and portable) electronic music instrument, and also the one that brought the electronic sound to the masses (see [27]). It was preceded by Thelarmonium, a multi-ton monstrocity that never really get a lot of attention (although technically very innovative, see [25]), and some other instruments that fell into obscurity. On the other hand, Leon Theremin got popular well beyond the Soviet Union (where even Lenin got to play his instrument once!). He became a star in the US and taught a generation of Theremin players, Clara Rockmore being the most famous one. In fact, RCA even manufactured Theremins under Leon's design in 1929 ( [27])!. So what was this instrument ? It was a box with two antennas that produced continuous, high-pitch sounds. The performer would approach the instrument and wave hands around the antennas to play it. The distance to the right (vertical) antenna would change the pitch, while the distance to the left (horizontal) antenna would change the volume of the sound (see [2], [3] for more technical details). The Theremin is difficult to play, since, like on violin, the notes and the volume are not quantized (the change in pitch is continuous).

  • Owner's Manual
    Owner’s Manual For the following languages, a PDF version of the Owner’s Manual can be found on the CD-ROM. Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Español, Português, Nederlands What is MIDI? MIDI is an internationally recognized standard for exchanging performance information between electronic musical instruments and computers. For example, in the illustration below, a MIDI signal meaning “the ‘C’ key on the MIDI keyboard was pressed” passes through the A-49 and is received by the computer’s software sound module, and then the software sound module plays the note “C.” MIDI signal Information meaning “the ‘C’ key was pressed” “C” is played Software sound module “C” key is pressed In this way, MIDI is used to send performance information to other instruments; for example “the ‘C’ key was pressed with a certain amount of force,” “the instrument was changed to a violin sound,” “the volume was raised/lowered,” “the pitch was raised/lowered,” etc. In other words, MIDI is the “language of musical instruments.” MIDI signals are merely performance instructions, therefore a MIDI sound module, such as a software sound module, is required to produce sound. All software sound modules and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software support MIDI. MEMO DAW software is a term that refers to music production software. Note Do not connect the A-49 to the computer until the driver has been installed (p. 13). Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled:”USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 3) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 4). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.

It’s been particularly busy for Commercial & Consumer Technology (CCT) M&A in Southern California, where two of the larger deals in the sector occurred with Amazon acquiring Ring for over $1 billion and Foxconn affiliate FIT acquiring Belkin for over $850 million. Both home grown Los Angeles-based companies play squarely in the connected home space. Across the broader CCT markets, A/V integration remains a hot sector, with several deals occurring among mid-tier integrators and Snap AV continuing its acquisition spree following its recapitalization by Hellman & Friedman last year. Intrepid continues to be busy in this active market, closing the sale of Radial Engineering, a well-known manufacturer of accessories for professional musicians and live performance venues just in time for NAMM 2018. We are excited about the robust backlog of opportunities and continued strong interest among acquirers for high-quality assets. If you are considering options for your business or would like to discuss any of these trends, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Hunter 1 Jackson Hunter Professor Sammons MPA 475 20 May 2015 COMPARING THE COST OF PREAMPLIFIERS TO THEIR SONIC FIDELITY AND FREQUENCY OUTPUT More than ever, too many times, audio engineers get caught up in the hype of big name brands and large price tags. However, the popularity of a brand, as well as the cost of its gear does not always equate to quality hardware. The microphone preamplifier is a perfect example of this disparity between price tags and brand names and performance of the equipment. The goal of this paper is to make one second guess the intrinsic idea that things that cost more and have a solid brand reputation actually sound better.
