In this paper, we describe a playable musical interface for tablets and multi-touch tables. The interface is a generalized keyboard, inspired by the Thummer, and consists of an array of virtual buttons. On a generalized keyboard, any given interval always has the same shape (and therefore fingering); furthermore, the fingering is consistent over a broad range of tunings. Compared to a physical ...

In this series of experiments, evidence was found for a complex psychological representation of musical pitch. The results of a scaling study, in which subjects judged the similarities between pairs of tones presented in an explicitly tonal context, suggest that musical listeners extract a pattern of relationships among tones that is determined not only by pitch height and chroma, but also by m...

A white-light snapshot channeled linear imaging (CLI) polarimeter is demonstrated by utilizing polarization gratings (PGs). The CLI polarimeter is capable of measuring the two-dimensional distribution of the linear Stokes polarization parameters by incorporating two identical PGs, in series, along the optical axis. In this configuration, the general optical shearing functionality of a uniaxial ...

Nowadays, music demands constantly change respectively to listeners’ needs. Owing this fact, old genres fade into the background. However, traditional leaves a mark largely imprinted in not only Chinese music, but also world music. Thus, it is important investigate contribution of modern European Respondents from various departments were surveyed examine culture types contemporary A list folk i...

The Ampère theorem and the Biot–Savart law are well known tools used to calculate magnetic fields created by currents. Their use is not limited to the case of magnetostatics; they can also be used in time-dependent problems. We show in this paper that the highly classical example of a straight wire,generally treated as a simple magnetostatics problem, should be considered in the framework of ti...

The current study extends the efforts of Bischoff Renninger, Granot and Donchin (2003) to non-Western musical systems and focuses specifically on EventRelated Potential (ERP) responses to scalar deviations within the Javanese pélog scale by groups of musicians trained within the Western and Javanese systems. The principal aim is to ascertain whether results found in previous experiments may be ...
