The Virtual Flute: An Advanced Fingering Guide Generated Via Machine Intelligence
نویسنده
چکیده
The Virtual Flute is a web service that provides many thousands of machine-predicted alternative fingerings. Alternative fingerings can offer variations in intonation and timbre, and can be easier to play in different musical contexts. Many play multiphonics. An advanced fingering guide is invaluable when exotic effects and demanding passages are required of the player. The Virtual Flute uses an expert system that predicts musical properties from acoustic impedance spectra. Impedance spectra for the 39,744 acoustic configurations of the flute are generated by a physical model of the instrument, some parameters of which are machinelearned. We report the construction and use of The Virtual Flute (http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/music/flute/ virtual/).

Acoustics Australia August 2002 - The Virtual Boehm Flute - A web service that predicts multiphonics, microtones and alternative fingerings
We report a web service for flute players, ‘The Virtual Boehm Flute’, that provides alternative fingerings which may be easier to play, less awkward to finger and/or more in tune for different circumstances. It also provides possible fingerings for multiphonics (chords). It uses an expert system that predicts the playability of notes from features in the input impedance spectra, based on the pl...
متن کاملAnalytical evaluation of an innovative decision-making algorithm for VM live migration
In order to achieve the virtual machines live migration, the two "pre-copy" and "post-copy" strategies are presented. Each of these strategies, depending on the operating conditions of the machine, may perform better than the other. In this article, a new algorithm is presented that automatically decides how the virtual machine live migration takes place. In this approach, the virtual machine m...

The issue of online privacy and security is a challenging subject, as it concerns the privacy of data that are increasingly more accessible via the internet. In other words, people who intend to access the private information of other users can do so more efficiently over the internet. This study is an attempt to address the privacy issue of distributed big data in the context of cloud computin...
متن کاملAn Improved Digital Waveguide Model of Flute - Implementation Issues
This paper introduces a digital waveguide model of a flute which features a full set of finger holes of a real flute. The model responds correctly to real playing techniques, including the fingering combinations, overblowing, and vibrato. Many of the flute model parameters, such as the lengths of delay lines and finger hole filter parameters, have been computed from measurements taken from a re...
متن کاملHierarchical Approach to Detect Common Mistakes of Beginner Flute Players
Music lessons are a repetitive process of giving feedback on a student’s performance techniques. The manner in which performance skills are improved depends on the particular instrument, and therefore, it is important to consider the unique characteristics of the target instrument. In this paper, we investigate the common mistakes of beginner flute players and propose a hierarchical approach to...
