Striso, a Compact Expressive Instrument Based on a New Isomorphic Note Layout
نویسنده
چکیده
The Striso is a new expressive music instrument with an acoustic feel, which is designed to be intuitive to play and playable everywhere. The sound of every note can be precisely controlled using the direction and pressure sensitive buttons, combined with instrument motion like tilting or shaking. It works standalone, with an internal speaker and battery, and is meant as a self contained instrument with its own distinct sound, but can also be connected to a computer to control other synthesizers. The notes are arranged in an easy and systematic way, according to the new DCompose note layout that is also presented in this paper. The DCompose note layout is designed to be compact, ergonomic, easy to learn, and closely bound to the harmonic properties of the notes.

Isomorphic Tessellations for Musical Keyboards
Many traditional and new musical instruments make use of an isomorphic note layout across a uniform planar tessellation. Recently, a number of hexagonal isomorphic keyboards have become available commercially. Each such keyboard or interface uses a single specific layout for notes, with specific justifications as to why this or that layout is better. This paper is an exploration of all possible...
متن کاملMulti Attribute Analysis of a Novel Compact UWB Antenna with Via-fed Elements for Dual Band Notch Function (RESEARCH NOTE)
A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...
متن کاملOil Reservoirs Classification Using Fuzzy Clustering (RESEARCH NOTE)
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a well-known method to increase oil production from oil reservoirs. Applying EOR to a new reservoir is a costly and time consuming process. Incorporating available knowledge of oil reservoirs in the EOR process eliminates these costs and saves operational time and work. This work presents a universal method to apply EOR to reservoirs based on the available data by...
متن کاملExploring the Effects of Pitch Layout on Learning a New Musical Instrument
Although isomorphic pitch layouts are proposed to afford various advantages for musicians playing new musical instruments, this paper details the first substantive set of empirical tests on how two fundamental aspects of isomorphic pitch layouts affect motor learning: shear, which makes the pitch axis vertical, and the adjacency (or nonadjacency) of pitches a major second apart. After receiving...
متن کاملPolyphonic Embouchure on an Intricately Expressive Musical Keyboard Formed by an Array of Water Jets
Touching, diverting, restricting, or obstructing water jets constitutes a new type of user-interface for immersive multimedia environments such as totally acoustic, totally electronic, or hybrid musical instruments. The result is a richly expressive input device. In the context of a musical instrument, this device is called a hydraulophone. Developments in the rich expressivity of the hydraulop...
