Virtual Drum Accompanist: Interactive Multimedia System to Model Expression of Human Drummers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a system that makes use of machine listening techniques to analyse an incoming musical audio signal and determine various musical properties such as dynamics, tempo, and style. With this knowledge, the system generates an expressive drumbeat to accompany the input audio signal in real time. These drumbeats are created with a set of genetic algorithms which are designed to model basic human creativity in a musical sense. The system is intended as a practice tool as well as a means to observe the musical interaction that may occur between humans and computers.

Airstic Drum: A Drumstick for Integration of Real and Virtual Drums
Drum kits consist of various kinds of percussion instruments. As all percussion instruments are large and heavy, they are inconvenient for drummers to carry and set up. Virtual drums, which include motion sensors and enable drummers to imitate playing drums by stroking a virtual drum, are highly portable. However, drummers, who are used to playing real drums, have difficulty in demonstrating th...
متن کاملBeatrix: The Amorphous Drum Ensemble v3
We present a model of an African drum ensemble. We develop a model of polyrhythms, their creation, and their goodness. We assume that drummers are distributed and autonomous and must coordinate their rhythms and timing amongst themselves. We introduce a new amorphous clustering algorithm and show that distributed temporal synchronization is possible under certain restrictions. We develop a suit...

متن کاملGroovy Neural Networks
The drum machine has been an important tool in music production for decades. However, its flawless way of playing drum patterns is often perceived as mechanical and rigid, far from the groove provided by a human drummer. This paper presents research towards enhancing the drum machine with learning capabilities. The drum machine learns user-specific variations (i.e. the groove) from human drumme...
متن کاملSimulation and Experiment on Conveying Device of Cutting System of Small Sugarcane Harvester (RESEARCH NOTE)
The main problem is less efficiency and blocking during sugarcane harvesting in hilly areas. This paper researched the cutting and transporting system of a small sugarcane harvester using virtual prototype technology. The dynamics simulation analyses were carried out to study the transporting status with different friction coefficients between the sugarcane and the spiral and different numbers ...
