Wind MIDI Control in Pure Data

Larynxophone: using voice as a wind controller

In the context of music composition and production using MIDI sequencers, wind instrument tracks are built on the synthesis of music scores that have been written using whether MIDI keyboards or mouse clicks. Such modus operandi clearly handicaps the musician when it comes to shape the resulting audio with the desired expression. This paper presents a straightforward method to create convincing...

Light Pipes: A Light Controlled MIDI Instrument

In this paper, we describe a new MIDI controller, the Light Pipes. The Light Pipes are a series of pipes that respond to incident light. The paper will discuss the design of the instrument, and the prototype we built. A piece was composed for the instrument using algorithms designed in Pure Data.

An Examination of a MIDI Wind Controller for Use in Instrumental Research

Reinforcement Learning Based PID Control of Wind Energy Conversion Systems

In this paper an adaptive PID controller for Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) has been developed. Theadaptation technique applied to this controller is based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) theory. Nonlinearcharacteristics of wind variations as plant input, wind turbine structure and generator operational behaviordemand for high quality adaptive controller to ensure both robust stability an...

THE PIPE: Explorations with Breath Control

The Pipe is an experimental, general purpose music input device designed and built in the form of a compact MIDI wind controller. The development of this device was motivated in part by an interest in exploring breath pressure as a control input. The Pipe provides a variety of common sensor types, including force sensing resistors, momentary switches, accelerometers, potentiometers, and an air ...
