UnitInstrument: Easy Configurable Musical Instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Musical instruments have a long history, and many types of musical instruments have been created to attain ideal sound production. At the same time, various types of electronic musical instruments have been developed. Since the main purpose of conventional electronic instruments is to duplicate the shape of acoustic instruments with no change in their hardware configuration, the diapason and the performance style of each instrument is inflexible. Therefore, the goal of our study is to construct the UnitInstrument that consists of various types of musical units. A unit is constructed by simulating functional elements of conventional musical instruments, such as output timing of sound and pitch decision. Each unit has connectors for connecting other units to create various types of musical instruments. Additionally, we propose a language for easily and flexibly describing the settings of units. We evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed system by using it in actual performances.

UnitKeyboard: An Easily Configurable Compact Clavier
Musical keyboard instruments have a long history, which resulted in many kinds of keyboards (claviers) today. Since the hardware of conventional musical keyboards cannot be changed, such as the number of keys, musicians have to carry these large keyboards for playing music that requires only a small diapason. To solve this problem, the goal of our study is to construct UnitKeyboard, which has o...
متن کاملClassification of Iranian traditional musical modes (DASTGÄH) with artificial neural network
The concept of Iranian traditional musical modes, namely DASTGÄH, is the basis for the traditional music system. The concept introduces seven DASTGÄHs. It is not an easy process to distinguish these modes and such practice is commonly performed by an experienced person in this field. Apparently, applying artificial intelligence to do such classification requires a combination of the basic infor...

In recent year, studies on music content analysis especially on musical instrument recognition system are developed extensively. However, almost all the studies are developed based on the Western musical instruments. Meanwhile, study on non-Western musical instrument especially on traditional Malay musical instrument is still lacking. With the enormous amount of instruments data and features sc...
متن کاملRhythmic Instruments Ensemble Simulator Generating Animation Movies Using Bluetooth Game Controller
We developed a rhythmic instruments ensemble simulator generating animation using game controllers. The motion of a player is transformed into musical expression data of MIDI to generate sounds, and MIDI data are transformed into animation control parameters to generate movies. These animations and music are shown as the reflection of player performance. Multiple players can perform a musical e...
متن کاملSound Controlled Musical Instruments Based on Physical Models
This paper describes three simple virtual musical instruments that use physical models to map between live sound and computer generated audio and video. The intention is that this approach will provide musicians with an intuitively understandable environment that facilitates musical expression and exploration. Musicians live sound exerts ‘forces’ on simple mass-spring physical models which move...
