spinCycle: a Color-Tracking Turntable Sequencer
نویسنده
چکیده
This report presents an interface for musical performance called the spinCycle. spinCycle enables performers to make visual patterns with brightly colored objects on a spinning turntable platter that get translated into musical arrangements in realtime. I will briefly describe the hardware implementation and the sound generation logic used, as well as provide a historical background for the project.

A New Mix of Forgotten Technology: Sound Generation, Sequencing and Performance Using an Optical Turntable
This report presents a novel interface for musical performance which utilizes a record-player turntable augmented with a computation engine and a high-density optical sensing array. The turntable functions as a standalone step sequencer for MIDI events transmitted to a computer or another device and it is programmed in real-time using visual disks. The program instructions are represented on pr...
متن کاملTrajectory Generation for the Trajectory Tracking Control of a Fire Rescue Turntable Ladder
In cooperation with IVECO Magirus for the new generation of fire turntable ladders a trajectory tracking control was developed to avoid swaying of the cage especially in case of large ladder lengths. Beside the active damping of the upcoming oscillations as a new functionality a automated mode for the ladder operation was implemented. This automated mode has to provide time indexed reference fu...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Fuzzy RBF Neural Network PID Controller for Simulation Turntable Servo System
Because simulation turntable servo system is highly nonlinear and uncertainty plants, a fuzzy neural network PID controller is proposed based on the Radial Basis Function (RBF). Up to now, various kinds of nonlinear PID controllers have been designed in order to satisfactorily control this system and some of them applied in actual systems with different degrees. Given this background, the step ...
متن کاملPedestrians Tracking in a Camera Network
With the increase of the number of cameras installed across a video surveillance network, the ability of security staffs to attentively scan all the video feeds actually decreases. Therefore, the need for an intelligent system that operates as a tracking system is vital for security personnel to do their jobs well. Tracking people as they move through a camera network with non-overlapping field...
متن کاملThe Tactus: a Tangible , Rhythmic Grid Interface Using Found-Objects
This paper describes the inspiration and implementation of a tactile, tabletop synthesizer/step sequencer. The Tactus is an expandable and inexpensive musical interface for the creation of loop-based music inspired by the Bubblegum Sequencer [2]. An optical camera, coupled with a computer running Max/MSP/Jitter can turn almost any matrix-like object into a step sequencer. The empty cells in the...
