DIMI-6000: An Early Musical Microcomputer by Erkki Kurenniemi
نویسندگان
چکیده
DIMI-6000 is an early microcomputer-based synthesizer designed in the mid-1970s by the Finnish inventor Erkki Kurenniemi. Designed as a hub for electronic music studios, DIMI-6000 featured a computer-controlled analog sound synthesis circuitry and a modular design. Despite its innovative design, only two units were built, one for Finland's national broadcasting company Yle and the other for Swedish composer Ralph Lundsten. This paper presents an overview of the instrument and its use, especially of the unit built for the Experimental Studio of Yle.

A Poset-based Approach to Embedding Median Graphs in Hypercubes and Lattices
A median graph G is a graph where, for any three vertices u, v and w, there is a unique node that lies on a shortest path from u to v, from u to w, and from v to w. While not obvious from the definition, median graphs are partial cubes; that is, they can be isometrically embedded in hypercubes and, consequently, in integer lattices. The isometric and lattice dimensions of G, denoted as dimI(G) ...

متن کاملA Computer-Assisted Instruction Approach to Music for Junior-Age Children: Using ALF for Teaching Music Composition
The potential of using the Apple II+ microcomputer with an ALF products music software system (nine voice) for computer-assisted instruction in composition was examined. Two boys, 8 and 10 years of age, served as subjects. Naturalistic observations were made as the children participated in a 10-session program that consisted of composition activities, such as adding harmony and writing rounds, ...
متن کاملA high accuracy ultrasonic distance measurement system using binary frequency shift-keyed signal and phase detection
A highly accurate binary frequency shift-keyed ~BFSK! ultrasonic distance measurement system ~UDMS! for use in isothermal air is described. This article presents an efficient algorithm which combines both the time-of-flight ~TOF! method and the phase-shift method. The proposed method can obtain larger range measurement than the phase-shift method and also get higher accuracy compared with the T...
