Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) connects sound cards, musical instruments, and computers in order to make music. MIDI-based music programs can play music, teach music theory and technique, provide games with exciting scores, and allow musicians to record, edit, play, and print compositions. This book is the programmer's definitive source of information for developing MIDI-based Windows 95 applications.
In Max/MSP/Jitter for Music, expert author and music technologist V. J. Manzo provides a user-friendly introduction to a powerful programming language that can be used to write custom software for musical interaction. Through clear, step-by-step instructions illustrated with numerous examples of working systems, the book equips readers with everything they need to know in order to design and complete meaningful music projects. The book also discusses ways to interact with software beyond the mouse and keyboard through use of camera tracking, pitch tracking, video game controllers, sensors, mobile devices, and more. The book does not require any prerequisite programming skills, but rather walks readers through a series of small projects through which they will immediately begin to develop software applications for practical musical projects. As the book progresses, and as the individual's knowledge of the language grows, the projects become more sophisticated. This new and expanded second edition brings the book fully up-to-date including additional applications in integrating Max with Ableton Live. It also includes a variety of additional projects as part of the final three project chapters. The book is of special value both to software programmers working in Max/MSP/Jitter and to music educators looking to supplement their lessons with interactive instructional tools, develop adaptive instruments to aid in student composition and performance activities, and create measurement tools with which to conduct music education research.
Sound & Music Projects for Eurorack & Beyond explores the intersection of music, electronics, and computer science and provides a practical path for musicians and sound designers to envision and create custom electronic instruments. The book explores these concepts in the context of Eurorack, a popular framework for mounting and interconnecting electronic instruments.
Manzo and Kuhn provide readers with all the practical skills and insights necessary to compose and perform electronic music in a variety of popular styles. Even those with little experience with digital audio software will learn to design powerful systems that facilitate their own compositional ideas.
This volume contains technical papers and panel position papers selected from the proceedings of the International Symposium on Information Systems and Technologies for Network Society, held together with the IPSJ (information processing society of Japan) National Convention, in September 1997. Papers were submitted from all over the world, especially from Japan, Korea and China. Since these countries are believed to form one of the major computer manufacturing centers in the world, a panel on “Computer Science Education for the 21st Century” was set up. A special session on the Japanese project on Software Engineering invited representative researchers from the project, which is supported by the Ministry of Education, Japan.

Subtractive sound synthesis has been one of the most widely used techniques in electronic music and for many analog synthesizers since the early 1960s. It is based on a simple principle, but its operation remains complex, involving many parameters. It can be enriched by a variety of effects that give the sound its authenticity. It does not just imitate musical instruments, but can also transcribe noises present in natural soundscapes, or generate entirely synthetic sounds. Synthesizers and Subtractive Synthesis 1 presents the theoretical basis of a sound phenomenon, the different types of synthesis, the components that are required and present in synthesizers, the working environment specific to the study of subtractive synthesis, and the hardware and software available. After reading the various chapters of this book, readers will have a clear vision of the tools and actions required to grasp the world of subtractive sound.
"Presents relevant concepts, including basic circuitry and programming, in a building-block format that is accessible to musicians and other individuals who enjoy using music technology. In addition to comprehensive coverage of music-related concepts including direct digital synthesis, audio input and output, and the Music Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), the book concludes with four projects that build on the concepts presented throughout the book. The projects, which will be of interest to many electronic musicians, include a MIDI breath controller with pitch and modulation joystick, 'retro' step sequencer, custom digital/analog synthesizer, and an expressive MIDI hand drum."--Provided by publisher.
1 With its fourth edition, the ANTS series of workshops has changed its name. The original"ANTS-From Ant Colonies to Artificial Ants: International Workshop on Ant Algorithms" has become "ANTS - International Workshop on Ant Colony Optimization and Swarm Intelligence". This change is mainly due to the following reasons. First, the term "ant algorithms" was slower in spreading in the research community than the term "swarm intelligence", while at the same time research inso-called swarm robotics was the subject of increasing activity: it was therefore an obvious choice to substitute the term ant algorithms with the more accepted and used term swarm intelligence. Second, although swarm intelligence research has undoubtedly produced a 2 number of interesting and promising research directions, we think it is fair to say that its most successful strand is the one known as "ant colony optimization". Ant colony optimization, first introduced in the early 1990s as a novel tool for the approximate solution of discrete optimization problems, has recently seen an explosion in the number of its applications, both to academic and real-world problems, and is currently being extended to the realm of continuous optimization (a few papers on this subject being published in these proceedings). It is therefore a reasonable choice to have the term ant colony optimization as part of the workshop name
Best-selling Traktor guidebook in Japan finally released for the world. Every DJ that has selected Traktor as their weapon of choice eventually runs into a wall. “Why does Traktor do (or not do) this?” The truth is that if you imagined it, Traktor can probably do it. So versatile is the software that one can also misuse it in so many different ways. The author has carefully selected topics that were long unanswered in online communities and forums and completed this guide to bestow the reader with perfect knowledge of utilizing Traktor ? in all the ways imaginable. ?Sync. ? The one feature in Traktor that every DJ must nail without exception. You may know what it does ? but mastering the why and how will take you to a whole new dimension. ?The Equipment. ? The book will guide you through the basic operations of each of the virtual devices in Traktor including the decks in various flavors, the effects, the loop recorder, and the mixer. ?MIDI and Customization. ? A little bit of knowledge about the customizing capabilities of Traktor will take you great lengths ? but some in-depth knowledge of MIDI signals and devices will give you the power to create the DJ controller of your dreams. This e-book is a fixed-layout document.
