Real-time synthesis control using an electro-acoustic instrument

September 1, 2013

This project aims to digitize the sound emitted by an electro-acoustic instrument to be able to act as a controller for a synthesis system or for a MIDI sequencer. This way, the expansion of timbral possibilities is unlimited, controlled in real-time by a tradicional musical instrument. This also applies to the musician's experimental capability and […]

MIDI controller based on Arduino

July 1, 2013

This project intends to provide with the needed tools for anyone, without specific programming skills, to be able to build their own electronic music instruments, making use of low-cost components, free platforms and standards widely recognized by synthesizers and musical prodction software.

Automatic generation of music based on color harmony

July 1, 2012

This project is based on the automatic generation of music, guided (conditioned) by the color harmony of a color palette or a picture. The generation of music is done in three steps: 1. Extraction of relevant features from an image or a color palette. 2. Mapping of these features into parameters for controlling the music […]

Analysis of Sound Design Techniques in Audio-Image Interaction Environments

February 1, 2011

This project was born with the intention of studying and analyzing the part of the sound design that tries to portray the sounds present in nature and our daily life. The synthesis of this type of sounds presents great complexity. For this reason, the technique most used to achieve this level of realism has been […]

Recording and processing sound for a music band

September 1, 2010

The aim of the project is the practical application of the theoretical concept involved in the musical recording chain. These concepts will be investigated and then applied to turn a rehearsal room into a recording studio in order to make a sound recording from an engineering point of view. For that the room has been […]

Choral Voice Synthesis with CSound

September 1, 2009

The aim of this web page is to be used as a broadcasting platform of the software programmed for this project. As it is free software, it can be free downloaded and modificated. It is also included, in this web site, the memory of the project and the sounds that are referred to in the […]

Harmony and rhythm structure detection

June 1, 2009

This project aims to build an automatic system for extracting the rhymic and harmonic information from a musical audio signal. First the harmony changes are detected and their duration. With them, the tempo is inferred. Using the harmonic analysis, tonality is computed and the song is classified into a musical genre. First this is applied […]

Sampling a Spanish baroque organ for its use as a software instrument

December 1, 2007

The objective of our research was the creation of a sound library with the sound records of an Spanish baroque organ placed in the Church of San Pedro en Novelda (Alicante). The sound recordings are the first step for further research and for creating a software sampler from that historic instrument.
