Noisegate 67 for Metasaxophone: Composition and Performance Considerations of a New Computer Music Controller
نویسنده
چکیده
Noisegate 67 was the first fully interactive composition written for the Computer Metasaxophone, a new computer controller interface for electroacoustic music. The Metasaxophone is an acoustic tenor saxophone retrofitted with an onboard computer microprocessor and an array of sensors that convert performance data into MIDI control messages. While maintaining full acoustic functionality the Metasaxophone is a versatile MIDI controller. This paper discusses the compositionally driven technical and aesthetic concerns that went into building the Metasaxophone, and the resulting aesthetic implementations in Noisegate 67. By juxtaposing the compositional approach to the saxophone before and after the electronic enhancements an attempt is made to expose working paradigms of composition for metainstruments.

A New Intelligent Controller for Parallel DC/DC Converters
In this paper, the immune controller, is used to control the paralleled DC-DC converters. A PID controller is first applied and its coefficient is optimized using an intelligent (PSO) algorithm. Immune controller is then added to PID controller and an immune PID controller is formed. Two methods have been suggested to determine non-linear behavior of immune controller. In the first method, an e...

This paper presents H∞ control problem for input-delayed systems. A neutral system approach is considered to the design of PD controller for input delay systems in presence of uncertain time-invariant delay. Using this approach, the resulting closed-loop system turns into a specific time-delay system of neutral type. The significant specification of this neutral system is that its delayed coeff...
متن کاملA New Reliable Controller Placement Model for Software-Defined WANs
Software-Defined Network (SDNs) is a decoupled architecture that enables administrators to build a customizable and manageable network. Although the decoupled control plane provides flexible management and facilitates the task of operating the network, it is the vulnerable point of failure in SDN. To achieve a reliable control plane, multiple controller are often needed so that each switch must...
متن کاملA FUZZY-BASED SPEED CONTROLLER FOR IMPROVEMENT OF INDUCTION MOTOR'S DRIVE PERFORMANCE
Induction motors (IMs) are widely used in many industrial applications due to their robustness, low cost, simplicity and relative good efficiency. One of the major considerations for IMs is their speed control. PI (proportional-integrator) controllers are usually used as speed controller. Adjusting the gain of PI controller is time-consuming which needs thorough considerations. Hence, fuzzy con...
