Developing Tools for Studying Musical gestures within the Max/MSP/jitter Environment

چکیده
We present the Musical Gestures Toolbox, a collection of Max/MSP/Jitter modules to help in qualitative and quantitative analysis of musical gestures. Examples are shown of how the toolbox is used for studying musical mimicry, such as ”air piano” performance, and expressive gestures of musicians.

Implementation of the Discrete Hidden Markov Model in Max/MSP Environment
A set of discrete Hidden Markov Model (HMM) objects have been developed for Max/MSP software as part of the project that deals with the analysis of expressive movements of a conductor. The objects were tested with recognition of English alphabet symbols, and were applied toward analysis of isolated conducting gestures. Training and recognition procedures were applied toward both right hand beat...
متن کاملA Real-Time Human Body Skeletonization Algorithm For Max/Msp/Jitter
In this paper we present an algorithm for real–time fullbody skeletonization and visualization implemented as two external objects for Max/MSP/Jitter. These objects are intended to provide an accurate description of bodily motion as captured by a video camera, to be used as musical rhythm controller in interactive music systems.
متن کاملA Score-Based Interface for Interactive Computer Music
The creation of interactive computer music often requires composers and performers to work within the paradigms of both instrumental music and responsive electroacoustics. The obstacles inherent in uniting these modes of operation have led the authors to develop an integrated working environment for interactive composition. NoteAbilityPro, a comprehensive music notation application, has been au...
متن کاملThird-Order Ambisonic Extensions for Max/MSP with Musical Applications
This paper describes a package of extensions (externals) for Cycling ‘74’s Max/MSP software to facilitate the exploration of Ambisonic techniques of up to third order. Areas of exploration well suited to the Max/MSP environment and techniques for composition within the Ambisonic domain using the presented externals are described.
متن کاملPlaySoundGround: An Interactive Musical Playground
We describe a novel transformation of a playground merry-go-round, teeter-totter (also referred to as a seesaw), swings, and climbing structure – from its traditional purpose to a collaborative and interactive musical performance system by equipping key structures with sensors that communicate with a computer. A set of Max/ MSP patches translate the physical gestures of playground play into a v...
