Satellite CCRMA: A Musical Interaction and Sound Synthesis Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new Beagle Board-based platform for teaching and practicing interaction design for musical applications. The migration from desktop and laptop computerbased sound synthesis to a compact and integrated control, computation and sound generation platform has enormous potential to widen the range of computer music instruments and installations that can be designed, and improves the portability, autonomy, extensibility and longevity of designed systems. We describe the technical features of the Satellite CCRMA platform and contrast it with personal computer-based systems used in the past as well as emerging smart phone-based platforms. The advantages and tradeoffs of the new platform are considered, and some project work is described.

متن کاملNeural Network for Music Instrument Identi cation
Zhiwen Zhang(MSE), Hanze Tu(CCRMA), Yuan Li(CCRMA) SUN ID: zhiwen, hanze, yuanli92 Abstract In the context of music, instrument identi cation would contribute improvements in music information retrieval, genres classi cation, and audio engineering. In this report, the neural network model was applied to identify music instruments given one note from sets of orchestral musical sounds. A se...
متن کاملFourteen years of nime: the value and meaning of 'community' in interactive music research
This paper examines the notion of community as commonly employed within NIME discourses. Our aim is to clarify and define the term through the community of practice framework. We argue that through its formal use and application, the notion of community becomes a significant space for the examination of emergent musical practices that could otherwise be overlooked. This paper defines community ...
متن کاملThe Sound Space as Musical Instrument: Playing Corpus-Based Concatenative Synthesis
Corpus-based concatenative synthesis is a fairly recent sound synthesis method, based on descriptor analysis of any number of existing or live-recorded sounds, and synthesis by selection of sound segments from the database matching given sound characteristics. It is well described in the literature, but has been rarely examined for its capacity as a new interface for musical expression. The int...
متن کاملMicrocontrollers in Music HCI Instruction - Reflections on our Switch to the Atmel AVR Platform
Over the past year the instructors of the Human Computer Interaction courses at CCRMA have undertaken a technology shift to a much more powerful teaching platform. We describe the technical features of the new Atmel AVR based platform, contrasting it with the Parallax BASIC Stamp platform used in the past. The successes and failures of the new platform are considered, and some student project s...
