Overtone Analysis Of A Holtkamp Organ Using Fourier Methods, Mario Harper, David Berg

Student Showcase

This research is a study of the similarities and differences of the four sound families (principal, flute, reed, and string) of the organ, specifically, we used the organ located in the Kent Hall at USU. This experiment focuses on the mechanics of the organ, turning sound into mathematical signals, and performing Fourier analysis using computer methods. We conclude that a certain family of pipes (flute pipe family) had the most similarities to the “natural” series while the reed family was the most variant. We show the steps taken in our experiment and attempt to explain the variance and correlation of ...


Exploration Of Physical Computing: Digital Interfaces Using Microsoft Kinect And Peggy 2 Led Matrix, Jeffrey Franklin California Polytechnic State University

Exploration Of Physical Computing: Digital Interfaces Using Microsoft Kinect And Peggy 2 Led Matrix, Jeffrey Franklin

Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies

Physical computing, or more specifically social immersive media, is an offshoot of New Media that incorporates interactive physical systems (software/hardware systems) to sense and respond to the analog world. This serves as a creative framework for understanding our own relationship to the digital world. In this project, computer vision is incorporated as a medium between both input and output through the use of two cameras, a typical webcam and a Microsoft Kinect. For the first part of the project, a webcam streams visual data into a computer program which interpolates the video data into a 25x25 virtual dot matrix ...

The Quickiecomposer Android Application, Brigit Elizabeth Hawley

Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies

The QuickieComposer application is a program intended for use on Android Devices. Designed for the composer on the go, the QuickieComposer app is perfect for those “in the moment” compositions. In the following document, the functionality and development of the first version of the QuickieComposer application is explained.

Mashups: Supporting Music Communities @ Your Library, Michelle H. Brannen, Matthew R. Jordan, Allison Sharp, Margaret A. Roberts, Herbert H. Hobson

Black Issues Conference

The library isn’t just a study space. It’s a clearinghouse for resources to support professional, academic, and personal goals. Using music as a topic, this presentation highlights the broad range of tools available to students with an interest in music including recording equipment, multimedia support, databases, and circulating materials. Participants will learn how to create their own music with tools provided by the university, and how to use various technologies to access music and information about music while on the go.


A Guide To Producing An A Cappella Cd And Development Of A Pitch Detection Program, Jacob Ray Stringfellow California Polytechnic State University

A Guide To Producing An A Cappella Cd And Development Of A Pitch Detection Program, Jacob Ray Stringfellow

Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies

An in-depth look at the steps required to produce a CD for an a cappella group. From what microphone and preamplifiers to use, to what steps to take during the editing, mixing, and mastering processes. Finished with a look at pitch detection algorithms and how they work, and a little bit of experimentation with my own algorithm and program.
