Speaker: Roberto Piassi Passos Bodo
Date and time: Monday, November 3, 2014 - 12:00
Place: CCSL Auditorium, IME/USP
Abstract:

This seminar will be an introduction to MIDI as communication protocol between instruments/applications and as file format for digital representation of musical scores.

We will present the main control events, their codification protocol, MIDI note numbers details, sound banks and musical symbols support, among other topics.

Also, it will be exhibit two of the most commonly used audio APIs in Linux and some free MIDI tools (synthesizers and score editors, for example).

Speaker: Guilherme Feulo
Date and time: Monday, September 29, 2014 - 12:00
Place: CCSL Auditorium, IME/USP
Abstract:

Recent technological advances promoted the development of sensors that previously, because of the costs, were used only for medical proposes. Among all, the Electroencephalogram (EEG), gained attention between Interface researchers by it's versatility and portability, creating different applications in distinct fields. In this seminar we will present some techniques, results and discussions that were published in the Fifth International Brain-Computer Interface Meeting (2013) involving the Musical BCI development problem.

Date and time: Monday, September 1, 2014 - 12:00
Place: CCSL Auditorium, IME/USP
Abstract: (sorry about the abstract in Portuguese)

Neste seminário vamos abordar técnicas recentemente propostas de distorção de senóides para síntese de sinais musicais, baseadas em extensões ou variações das técnicas clássicas (já apresentadas em outro seminário). No âmbito das modulações serão exploradas as técnicas de ModFM (FM Modificada), SpSB (Split Side band), e FBAM (Modulação de amplitude com retroalimentação). Em relação às novas abordagens para moldagens, serão exploradas as técnicas de moldagem de fase com exponencial, moldagem de fase com entidades básicas encadeadas, hard sync, e moldagem de fase por modulação de coeficientes de filtros passa-tudo. Implementações utilizando a linguagem Chuck e exemplos sonoros também serão apresentados.

Date and time: Monday, August 25, 2014 - 12:00
Place: Auditório do CCSL, IME/USP
Abstract:

Pure Data (PD) is a computer music language used to create musical applications that has been increasingly integrated into mobile applications since the development of libpd. Sensors2PD (aka S2PD) was developed in order to facilitate the use of sensors in Android devices as input for PD patches. S2PD is going to be presented at this seminar with some demonstrations in order to show that it can be used in new musical applications aimed at performances with mobile devices.

Currently, all sensors in Android devices can be used as input for receivers on PD patches with S2PD. Also, touch position on the screen and WiFi signal levels can also be used as input. The audience will have the opportunity to test and discuss the application during this talk.
