The bistable resonator cymbal: an actuated acoustic instrument displaying physical audio effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the Bistable Resonator Cymbal, a type of actuated acoustic instrument which augments a conventional cymbal with feedback-induced resonance. The system largely employs standard, commercially-available sound reinforcement and signal processing hardware and software, and no permanent modifications to the cymbal are needed. Several types of cymbals may be used, each capable of producing a number of physical audio e↵ects. Cymbal acoustics, implementation, stability issues, interaction behavior, and sonic results are discussed.

متن کاملFeedback lapsteel : exploring tactile transducers as string actuators
The Feedback Lap Steel is an actuated instrument that makes use of mechanical vibration of the instruments bridge to excite the strings. A custom bridge mounted directly to a tactile transducer enables the strings to be driven with any audio signal from a standard audio amplifier. The instrument can be played as a traditional lap steel guitar without any changes to playing technique as well as ...

Thermoacoustics describes energy conversion processes, activated by interaction temperature oscillation, accompanying the pressure oscillation in a sound wave, with solid boundaries. In ordinary experience this interaction of sound and heat cannot be observed, because of the very low temperature differences, but under suitable conditions, it can be emphasized and amplified to create remarkable ...
متن کاملA platform for manipulation and examination of the acoustic guitar: The Chameleon Guitar
A platform for manipulation and examination the acoustic guitar is presented, based on a novel guitar design – the Chameleon Guitar – featuring a replaceable acoustic resonator functioning as the soundboard of the instrument. The goal of the design process is to create a tone as sonically close to that of a traditional guitar as possible, while maintaining an easily replaceable soundboard. An i...
متن کاملPitch fork: a novel tactile digital musical instrument
Pitch Fork is a prototype of an alternate, actuated digital musical instrument (DMI). It uses 5 infra-red and 4 piezoelectric sensors to control an additive synthesis engine. Iron bars are used as the physical point of contact in interaction with the aim of using this materials natural acoustic properties as a control signal for aspects of the digitally produced sound. This choice of material w...
