TEMPEST: A Text Input System with Musical Expression

TEMPEST: A Text Input System for Musical Performers

Recently, due to the widespread use of computers, text-based communication methods, such as e-mail and chat, have attracted a great deal of attention. If pianists can apply their musical expressions to the text input, they can input texts with their own emotion richly. Therefore, the goal of our study is to construct TEMPEST (TExt input and Musical PErforming SysTem) that is a text input system...

The Design of a Pen-Based Musical Input System

Computerising the task of music editing can avoid a considerable amount of tedious work for musicians, particularly for tasks such as key transposition, part extraction, and layout. However, the task of getting the music onto the computer can still be time consuming and is usually done with the help of bulky equipment. This paper reports on the design of a pen-based input system that uses easil...

Improvements to a Pen-Based Musical Input System

This paper describes an improved design for pen input of music into a computer system. A usability analysis of an existing system is performed, and improvements based on the analysis are implemented and tested. New capabilities are also added. The resulting system is tested for both usability and speed of input, with good results in both areas.

Improvasher: A Real-Time Mashup System for Live Musical Input

In this paper we present Improvasher a real-time musical accompaniment system which creates an automatic mashup to accompany live musical input. Improvasher is built around two music processing modules, the first, a performance following technique, makes beat-synchronous predictions of chroma features from a live musical input. The second, a music mashup system, determines the compatibility bet...
