  • 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.

  • Vi Processor™ Card
    Vi Processor™ Card General The Vi Processor™ Card fitted to the Soundcraft Vi Series™ contains 8 powerful LEXICON® Effects Processing Units and 35 high-quality BSS® 30-band Graphic Equalisers. LEXICON® Effects Each Effects Unit can be inserted into any Output/Main Master bus or into any Input Channel, or it can be patched as an FX Return to an Input Channel, fed from an Aux send. Each FX Unit supports up to 30 different professional LEXICON® Effects. Effect Parameters can be easily changed via the VST Screens at a location on the Surface corresponding to where the FX is inserted or patched. Additionally, the Parameters can be viewed and changed in the FX Overview Page in the main menu. All Parameters from the 8 Effects Units and for all Effects Type are stored in the desk Snapshots. BSS® Graphic Equalisers The 35 BSS® 30-band Graphic Equalizers are permanently assigned to the 32 Output Busses and the three Main Masters. All Parameters from the GEQs are stored in the desk Snapshots. LEXICON® Effects Format Depending on the selected Effect Type, the FX processor works internally in one of three formats: The FX processor always has Stereo Inputs and Outputs. If the FX Type needs only a Mono Input, the Left and Right Input Signal are summed together. If the FX Type outputs only a Mono Signal then the Output Signal is distributed to both the Left and Right Outputs. The MIX Parameter adjusts the ratio between the original (dry) signal and the effects (wet) signal. Figure 21-1: FX Processor Configurations.

    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).

  • The Cyber-Guitar System: a Study in Technologically Enabled Performance Practice
    The Cyber-Guitar System: A Study in Technologically Enabled Performance Practice Jonathan Crossley (9405149d) Supervised by Professor Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph and Dr Grant Olwage A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2017 i Declaration I know that plagiarism is wrong. Plagiarism is to use another’s work and to pretend that it is one’s own. I have used the author date convention for citation and referencing. Each significant contribution to and quotation in this dissertation from the work/s of other people has been acknowledged through citation and reference. I declare that this dissertation is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination in any other university. Jonathan Crossley 9405149d 01-09-–2017 ii Abstract This thesis documents the development and realisation of an augmented instrument, the cyber-guitar, expressed through the processes of artistic practice as research. The research project set out to extend my own creative practice on the guitar by technologically enabling and extending the instrument. This process was supported by a number of creative outcomes (performances, compositions and recordings), running parallel to the interrogation of theoretical areas emerging out of the research. In the introduction I present a timeline for the project and situate the work in the field of artistic practice as research, explaining the relationship between research and artistic practice as research.
