Strike-A-Tune: Fuzzy Music Navigation Using a Drum Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Project Goals • "Fuzzy" Navigation • Physically and Visually Intuitive • Large Libraries A traditional music library system controlled by a mouse and keyboard is precise, allowing users to select their desired song. Alternatively, randomized playlist or shuffles are used when users have no particular music in mind. We present a new interface and visualization system called Strike-A-Tune for fuzzy music navigation. Fuzzy navigation is an imprecise navigation approach allowing users to choose preference related items. We believe this will help users to play music they want to hear and re-discover infrequently played songs in their music library, thus combining the best aspects of precision navigation and shuffles. We have designed an interface using an electronic drum to communicate with a visualization and playback system.

Towards Timbre Recognition of Percussive Sounds
The development of computer algorithms for music instrument identification and parameter extraction in digital audio signals is an active research field. A musician can listen to music and instantly identify different instruments and the timbres produced by various playing techniques. Creating software to allow computers to do the same is much more challenging. This project will use digital sig...
متن کاملThe XY Drum
Standard electronic drum pads are equipped with one piezoelec tric sensor that converts stick strikes to electronic pulses which are measured and used to trigger pre-recorded samples or other sounds. Advanced models can measure the amplitude of this pulse and adjust the volume of the resultant sample or even select a different sample en tirely. The state of the art electronic drums are equipp...

This paper describes research aimed at building ‘‘active music listening interfaces’’ to demonstrate the importance of music understanding technologies, including sound source separation and F0 estimation, and the benefit they offer to end users. Active music listening is a way of listening to music through active interactions. Given polyphonic sound mixtures taken from available music recordin...
متن کاملOn Drum Playing Technique Detection in Polyphonic Mixtures
In this paper, the problem of drum playing technique detection in polyphonic mixtures of music is addressed. We focus on the identification of 4 rudimentary techniques: strike, buzz roll, flam, and drag. The specifics and the challenges of this task are being discussed, and different sets of features are compared, including various features extracted from NMF-based activation functions, as well...
متن کاملThe Drummer: a Collaborative Musical Interface with Mobility
It has been shown that collaborative musical interfaces encourage novice users to explore the sound space and promote their participation as music performers. Nevertheless, such interfaces are generally physically situated and can limit the possibility of movements on the stage, a critical factor in live music performance. In this paper we introduce the Drummer, a networked digital musical inte...
