The Squiggle: A Digital Musical Instrument
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses some of the issues pertaining to the design of digital musical instruments that are to effectively fill the role of traditional instruments (i.e. those based on physical sound production mechanisms). The design and implementation of a musical instrument that addresses some of these issues, using scanned synthesis coupled to a “smart” physical system, is described.

Using Haptic Devices to Interface Directly with Digital Waveguide-Based Musical Instruments
A haptic musical instrument is an electronic musical instrument that provides the musician not only with audio feedback but also with force feedback. By programming feedback controllers to emulate the laws of physics, many haptic musical instruments have been previously designed that mimic real acoustic musical instruments. The controller programs have been implemented using finite difference a...
متن کاملExamining the Effects of Embedded Vibrotactile Feedback on the Feel of a Digital Musical Instrument
This paper deals with the effects of integrated vibrotactile feedback on the“feel”of a digital musical instrument. Building on previous work developing a DMI with integrated vibrotactile feedback actuators, we discuss how to produce instrument-like vibrations, compare these simulated vibrations with those produced by an acoustic instrument and examine how the integration of this feedback effect...
متن کاملA Digital Emulator of the Photosonic Instrument
In this paper we describe the digital emulation of a optical photosonic instrument. First we briefly describe the optical instrument which is the basis of this emulation. Then we give a musical description of the instrument implementation and its musical use and we conclude with the "duo" possibility of such an emulation.
متن کاملWubbles: A Collaborative Ephemeral Musical Instrument
This paper presents a collaborative digital musical instrument that uses the ephemeral and physical properties of soap bubbles to explore the complexity layers and oscillating parameters of electronic (bass) music. This instrument, called Wubbles, aims at encouraging both individual and collaborative musical manipulations.
متن کاملTromba Moderna : A Digitally Augmented Medieval Instrument
An interactive museum exhibit of a digitally augmented medieval musical instrument, the tromba marina, is presented. The tromba marina is a curious single stringed instrument with a rattling bridge, from which a trumpet-like timbre is produced. The physical instrument was constructed as a replica of one found in Musikmuseet, a musical instrument museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. The replica instru...
