  • 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).

  • Perspectives for Music Education in Schools After COVID-19: the Potential of Digital Media
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 18, 2021 Benno Spieker, Morel Koren – Perspectives for Music Education in Schools after COVID-19: The Potential of Digital Media Perspectives for Music Education in Schools after COVID-19: The Potential of Digital Media BENNO SPIEKER, MOREL KOREN Abstract: Innovations in research fields related to computer music and the advancement of the music industry have also influenced the digital sector for music education. Although many kinds of educational, edutainment, and entertainment music software appeared before the pandemic and are still in use, with the COVID-19 crisis and restrictions, it seems that music education in the primary classes has not systematically and thoroughly benefited from the innovations and advances reported by science and the music industries. However, the current need to teach music online could have an effect on the use of digital media after the pandemic. We present examples from the Netherlands, Romania, and Israel that lead to observations and suggestions about the potential of digital media after COVID-19. Keywords: music education, online music learning, singing, solfege, music literacy, primary education, voice synthesis, artificial intelligence. Introduction More than sixty years after humankind successfully programmed a computer to generate sounds from a digital composition, and almost forty years after the invention of a standard for sharing musical information digitally – MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), and the invention of the Internet, it can be said that digital media brought significant changes in almost all fields of music. Writing, composing, performing, recording, storing, disseminating with or without video are encompassing producing and consuming computerized music and digital media.

  • Using Smartscore 2.Pdf
    Using SmartScore Scanning Music Be sure you have the necessary scanner drivers installed before attempting to scan from inside SmartScore. Most scanners come with software that enable programs such as SmartScore to control them. TWAIN drivers and/or Mac plug-ins are normally included in the software packaged with most scanners. It may be necessary for certain Mac users to perform a “Custom > TWAIN” installation from the CD accompanying your scan- ner; depending on the manufacturer. NOTE: Scanner drivers are often updated by scanner manufacturers and posted on their web sites. If problems occur during scanning, it is always a good idea to check the Internet for updated scanner drivers before calling Musitek Technical Support. Mac Users: Skip the next section. Turn to “Scanning in Macintosh” on page 6. Scanning in Windows: Using the SmartScore Scanning Interface a. Push the Scan button in the Navigator or in the Main Toolbar. Figure 1: Scan Button b. If there is no response, go to File > Scan Music > Select Scanner and choose appropriate TWAIN driver. If you do not see anything listed in the Select Scanner window, your drivers are probably not installed. Install or replace TWAIN driver from scanner CD or from “Driver Download” area of scanner manufacturer’s website. c. If the scanner still does not operate properly, go to “Choosing an alternative scanning interface” on page 5. USING SmartScore 1 Help > Using SmartScore Your scanner should immediately begin to operate with Scan or Acquire. A low-resolution pre-scan should soon appear in the Preview window.

  • Muschain, Un Juego Colaborativo Para Compositores
    Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Informàtica Universitat Politècnica de València Muschain, un juego colaborativo para compositores Trabajo Fin de Grado Grado en Ingeniería Informática Autor: Carlos Caballer Chacón Tutor: Vicente Pelechano Ferragud Curso 2019/2020 Muschain, un juego colaborativo para compositores 2 Resumen El objetivo de este TFG es el desarrollo de un juego para músicos y compositores, con su correspondiente estudio de mercado y aceptación por parte de los usuarios. Muschain es un juego colaborativo, en el cual se quiere explorar la creatividad y la colaboración entre artistas. El objetivo es que diferentes compositores participen en el desarrollo de una canción, cada uno realizando una pequeña porción de la misma, para luego juntarlos todos y obtener una pieza completa. Además esto permite descubrir nuevas personas con quien compartir su afición por la música, de una forma interactiva y divertida. El desarrollo de la aplicación se realizará mediante el uso de metodologías ágiles y Lean Startup. Para ello, se usarán herramientas como Git, PyCharm y Back4App. Se realizarán dos MVP y su correspondiente experimento con un conjunto de early adopters, obteniendo los resultados mediante una encuesta a través de un formulario online. Tras el análisis de los resultados se procederá a la creación de una segunda iteración del producto, que incluirá nuevas características y mejoras de las ya presentadas, junto con un nuevo experimento con una población más grande. La repetición de este proceso nos permitirá obtener una versión cercana al producto final. Palabras clave: MIDI, Python, QT, Redes sociales, Audio, Música, Juego. Abstract The goal of this TFG will be to develop a game for musicians and composers alike, doing a market research and studying the user reception.
