Short Description of the existing system version: |
| When |
we |
first |
thought |
about |
our |
project, |
we |
agreed |
that |
it |
has |
to |
be |
| something |
to |
make |
music |
which |
can |
be |
used |
by |
more |
than |
one |
| person at the same time. Note that it doesn't have to be more than |
one |
instrument. |
| The |
basic |
idea |
is |
one |
instrument |
that |
is |
used |
by |
2 |
people |
at |
once. |
| One person is making |
the music and the |
other one has something |
like |
| a real |
time |
interface for |
manipulating |
this |
music or |
sound |
directly. |
We |
| decided that |
both of |
them get |
some kind |
of a |
voice interface |
to |
control |
| the |
sound |
and |
the |
manipulation. |
One |
idea |
would |
be |
to |
use |
a |
| microphone |
and |
analyze |
the |
tone |
pitch. |
The |
person |
who |
creates |
the |
| music will |
somehow |
change |
the pitch |
and |
the |
beat of |
a |
given |
sample. |
| The |
manipulator |
will |
be |
able |
to |
select |
different |
types |
of |
effects |
which |
can then manipulate. |
| Our |
currenct |
system |
concept |
provides |
something |
which |
is |
functioning |
| like a live-sampler. One |
data source sends analogous |
data as input, |
in |
| our |
case |
an |
E-Guitar. |
This |
is |
the |
so |
called |
"Music |
creator", |
| responsable |
for |
pitch |
modificatino |
resp. |
beat |
generation. |
Another |
also |
| analogous data source offers also signals in its role being the so called |
| "Music |
manipulator", |
modifying |
the |
guitar |
signal-stream |
using |
voice |
| and |
microphone. |
Besides |
that |
Music |
Manipulator |
is |
accountable |
for |
| the |
selection |
of |
different |
type |
of |
effects |
and |
then |
manipulate |
(them). |
| INcoming |
analogous |
signal |
stream |
first |
is |
"transliterated" |
into |
MIDI- |
| data |
and |
several |
times |
filtered |
(to |
get |
rid |
of |
multiple |
notes |
as |
said |
before). In effect wave data are played back. |
