NoteAbilityPro is a music notation software editor developed by Hamel. This software was among the first ones to address the issue of easing the integration between a musical score and a computational music framework [Hammel, 2006]. NoteabilityPro started as a flexible music notation editor and later the Integrated Interactive Music Performance Environment module (IIMPE) was added to support interactivity with Max/Msp (PureData).
NoteAbiltyPro communicates with Max/Msp(PureData) by sending messages, so these messages are added by the user to the score in the NotabilityPro environment as text messages and specifies the measure and beat location with text-numbers. Figure 5, shows one sample score of the NoteAbilityPro screen with some

2.2.2 Antescofo
Antescofo is a score-following system that enables to code interactions between the instrumental parts and the computer-generated parts by providing a proprietary programming language [Giavitto, Cont and Echeveste, 2015]. Antescofo stands for anticipatory synchronization and control of interactive parameters in computer music, and its core is a score-following system based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM) with some variants to be able to model time changes which are one of the major drawbacks of the HMM algorithm.
The Antescofo score-following core performs tracking of audio events and triggers some customized actions written in a text-based programming descriptor. In Antescofo, the text based representation of computer generated events follows a Score Language design pattern, which has a long tradition in computer music since the debut of Mathews’ MUSIC-N languages in the late 60’s [ Mathews, Miller, Moore, Pierce, and Risset, 1969 ], but Antescofo extends the concept to a reactive language, meaning that customized actions responds to events. The current Antescofo public version runs as a patch extension of Max/Msp (or PureData).
Antescofo is an event based customizable score-following, accordingly its most important programming entities in Antescofo language are events and actions [Giavitto, Cont and Echeveste, 2015]. Figure 6 shows a sample code in Antescofo language with events and actions. Events represents symbolic elements in the
To understand why music is a product of human intention and perception, we start by defining or understanding the nature of music. Music is defined as the sounds or combination of vocals and instruments in a way that it produces a form of beauty, expression, or harmony of emotions. Arguably, people compose or make music through many ways (Resnicow, Joel E., 20-29). While some people might compose music without incorporating instruments, others use instruments to produce beats that match with their sounds. However, to argue that the
Demonstrate selected musical ideas for a simple improvisation or composition to express intent, and describe connection to a specific purpose and context.
The adaptive and interactive music plays when a certain number of triggers or conditions have been met; some examples of these conditions are listed below:
* Tone – the duration (length), frequency (pitch), amplitude (loudness), timbre (quality of sound). * All sounds have the potential to be tones
The mission of “Musically Infinite” is to provide Affordable, professionally engineered, complete Audio production.” Musically Infinite’s goal is to become the industry standard for Audio production in the digital music era. From the veteran vocal artists, worldwide superstars, to new local artists seeking to make a name for him and herself with a high quality product usually only reserved for the elite and super wealthy. The later part of our company name “Infinite” is defined as “immeasurably great, indefinitely or exceedingly great; Unlimited, unbounded or unlimited; boundless or endless.” This term when joined with our focus “Music,” is what our core passion is, and conveys that our corporate objective is to allow an unlimited love for music to flow from our creative artists to the extent of their talents, gifts or supernatural abilities. The literary genius that is embodied within the walls of skin held

As an electrical engineer, it is only appropriate that I interview another fellow senior electrical engineer. I decided to interview one senior group consisting of Bryan Guner (Interviewee), Ralph Quinto and Haley Scott. I found Bryan during an IEEE meeting at TCNJ and realized he would be perfect for the interview. Their senior project is a software platform that digitizes a guitar signal then analyzes a sequence of notes played in time and triggers guitar effects at a desired time. However, the system must be able to tolerate inconsistencies between the performance where the system learns the song and the trigger points in the live performance. The primary goal is to produce a system that frees the guitarist to be anywhere on the stage when performing, rather than standing by the effects pedals.
This course is an introduction to music and to the musical mechanics from a global perspective. There will be three aims:
Van Dyck, Vansteenkiste, Lenoire, Lesaffre, and Leman’s (2014) experiment identifies whether induced emotions of happiness and sadness can be recognized from dance movements. Their study revealed subjects were able to recognize the emotions expressed by the dancers accurately. Zentner and Eerola (2010) examined whether infants between the ages of 5-24 months were able to take part in rhythmic engagement and identification. The study found infants were in fact able to engage more with rhythmic sounds than they were to speech and that they were also able to distinguish between fast and slow tempo. Jensenius (2007) provides the different definitions for gestures and an outline various music related movements and the taxonomies used to describes these actions.
Over the decades, music has evolved; from the classics to today’s contemporary music. In the 1960’s it was all about The Beatles, 1970’s was about Pink Floyd, 1980’s was about the king of pop: Michael Jackson, Nirvana in the 1990’s, and Green Day in the 2000’s. However today’s artists are completely different from the previous generations in terms of composition and quality.
The music genome project is described as “the most sophisticated taxonomy of musical information ever collected.” (Pandora, 2015). Over ten years, the project has evolved due to the researchers and musicologists who
“Audio & Midi Sequencers” is software which is designed to create, record, and edit music. “Audio Analysis” means methods of analyzing an audio signal, such as a spectrum analyzer, which displays the intensity of the various frequencies from which the audio signal is composed. “Audio Editor” is software which specifically allows you to finely edit and process an audio file, such as with equalizer, or various effects. “CD Ripper” is software which extracts audio tracks from a CD. “CD Burner” is software which saves audio tracks TO a CD, in such a way that it can be played on a CD player. “File Encoders” is software which takes, for example, a ‘.wav’ file, and compresses it into a smaller, but usually slightly lower quality file, such as an ‘.mp3′, or a ‘.wma’.”DJ Software” is software which is usually designed to emulate DJ hardware, with features such as track mixing, or possibly ’scratching’. “Effects Processors” is software which allows the hosting, or chaining of effects, such as VST’s.You don’t have to be a music expert to edit music.

From infancy to adulthood, music has been a huge part of our lives. Whether one is listening to their favorite song in the car or out at a social event, music not only is very entertaining, but possesses the ability to influence specific behaviors in an individual. With music, various emotions are triggered using schema’s and person-level and context-level construct’s. Schema’s are like a folder in a document that collects and combines a host of day-to-day interactions in the everyday life of an individual. For example, think about every time you have attended a birthday party. By attending multiple birthday parties, you then have a “schema” of what to expect and not to expect at a birthday party. This concept is also applied to music. Our
