midOSC: a Gumstix-Based MIDI-to-OSC Converter
نویسنده
چکیده
A MIDI-to-OSC converter is implemented on a commercially available embedded linux system, tighly integrated with a microcontroller. A layered method is developed which permits the conversion of serial data such as MIDI to OSC formatted network packets with an overall system latency below 5 milliseconds for common MIDI messages. The Gumstix embedded computer provide an interesting and modular platform for the development of such an embedded applications. The project shows great potential to evolve into a generic sensors-to-OSC ethernet converter which should be very useful for artistic purposes and could be used as a fast prototyping interface for gesture acquisition devices.

Open Sound Control: Constraints and Limitations
Open Sound Control (OSC) is being used successfully as a messaging protocol among many computers, gestural controllers and multimedia systems. Although OSC has addressed some of the shortcomings of MIDI, OSC cannot deliver on its promises as a real-time communication protocol for constrained embedded systems. This paper will examine some of the advantages but also dispel some of the myths conce...
متن کاملThe Smart Controller Workbench
The Smart Controller is a portable hardware device that responds to input control voltage, OSC, and MIDI messages; producing output control voltage, OSC, and MIDI messages (depending upon the loaded custom patch). The Smart Controller is a stand alone device; a powerful, reliable, and compact instrument capable of reducing the number of electronic modules required in a live performance or insta...

The AlphaSphere is an electronic musical instrument featuring a series of tactile, pressure sensitive touch pads arranged in a spherical form. It is designed to offer a new playing style, while allowing for the expressive real-time modulation of sound available in electronic-based music. It is also designed to be programmable, enabling the flexibility to map a series of different notational arr...
متن کاملTouchKeys: Capacitive Multi-Touch Sensing on a Physical Keyboard
Capacitive touch sensing is increasingly used in musical controllers, particularly those based on multi-touch screen interfaces. However, in contrast to the venerable piano-style keyboard, touch screen controllers lack the tactile feedback many performers find crucial. This paper presents an augmentation system for acoustic and electronic keyboards in which multi-touch capacitive sensors are ad...
متن کاملOutlines of Burcas - A simple concatenation-based MIDI-to-singing voice synthesis system
The present paper outlines a simple system (yet to be completed) for concatenation-based singing synthesis in Swedish. The system, called Burcas, takes as input a MIDI file (possibly holding multiple parts) for melody and a text file for lyrics, and it produces standard audio files as output. For the digital signal processing, the MBROLA speech generator is employed. Burcas consists of an input...
