  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • Musictronics for Audio to Midi Conversion MUSICTRONICS for AUDIO to MIDI CONVERSION
    Musictronics For Audio To Midi Conversion MUSICTRONICS FOR AUDIO TO MIDI CONVERSION 1L.R.KARL MARX, 2I.GOGUL, 3A.MAHADEVAN, 4S.SASIKUMAR 1-4Electronics and Communication Engineering, Thiagarajar College of Engineering Thiruparankundram, Madurai, Tamil Nadu Abstract - The purpose of this paper is to convert an audio signal into MIDI. The overall idea is to output an instrument sound that plays the recorded human voice with accurate pitch and duration. This is a task requiring wider range of theoretical knowledge and their utilization in the practical part of the process. As a part of study, an algorithm has been designed and developed for implementing a real-time guitar tuner using Matlab, which outputs accurate frequency of the input signal and corrects it, if it is not in a perfect intonation. This idea has been extended to convert voice data into MIDI, for which another algorithm has been developed, and also hardware has been implemented. This technology has several music-related applications and is meant for musicians of all skill levels. One could also easily perform pitch corrections/alterations on MIDI data. MIDI is also useful in many areas, where one can apply different timbres to pitches (ex. use your voice to produce a guitar sound).

P. van Passel 2nd: Dr.Ir. M.C. van der Voort Reimagining the synthesizer for an acoustic setting; Design for a new type of electronic musical instrument By: Arvid Jense S0180831 Industrial Design Engineering University of Twente Presentation: 5-3-2013 Contact: Create Digital Media/Meeblip Betahaus, to Peter Kirn Prinzessinnenstrasse 19-20 BERLIN, 10969 Germany www.creadigitalmusic.com www.meeblip.com Examination committee: Dr.Ir. M.C. van der Voort Ing. P. van Passel Peter Kirn ii iii ABSTRACT A design of a new type of electronic instrument was made to allow usage in a setting previously not suitable for these types of instrument. Following an open-ended design brief, an analysis of the Meeblip market, synthesizer design literature and three case-studies, a new usage scenario was chosen. The scenario describes a situation of spontaneous music creation at an outside location. A rapidly iterating design process produced a wooden, semi-computational operated synthesizer which has an integrated power supply, amplifier and speaker. Care was taken to allow for rich and musical interaction as well as making the sound quality of the instrument on a similar level as acoustic instruments. Keywords: Synthesizer design, Electronics design, Open source, Arduino, Meeblip, Interaction design SAMENVATTING (DUTCH) Een ontwerp is gemaakt voor een nieuw type elektronisch muziek instrument welke gebruikt kan worden in een setting die eerder niet geschikt was voor elektronische instrumenten.

In the 90s many electronic acts applied rock sensibilities to their music in a genre which became known as big beat. After some hesitation, we agreed. Main article: Chiptune. Pietro Grossi was an Italian pioneer of computer composition and tape music, who first experimented with electronic techniques in the early sixties. Music produced solely from electronic generators was first produced in Germany in Moreover, this version used a new standard called MIDI, and here I was ably assisted by former student Miller Puckette, whose initial concepts for this task he later expanded into a program called MAX. August 18, Some electronic organs operate on the opposing principle of additive synthesis, whereby individually generated sine waves are added together in varying proportions to yield a complex waveform. Cage wrote of this collaboration: "In this social darkness, therefore, the work of Earle Brown, Morton Feldman, and Christian Wolff continues to present a brilliant light, for the reason that at the several points of notation, performance, and audition, action is provocative. The company hired Toru Takemitsu to demonstrate their tape recorders with compositions and performances of electronic tape music. Other equipment was borrowed or purchased with personal funds. By the s, magnetic audio tape allowed musicians to tape sounds and then modify them by changing the tape speed or direction, leading to the development of electroacoustic tape music in the s, in Egypt and France.
