Haptic Carillon – Analysis & Design Of The Carillon Mechanism, Mark Havryliv, Fazel Naghdy, Greg Schiemer, T. Hurd
Haptic Carillon – Analysis & Design Of The Carillon Mechanism, Mark Havryliv, Fazel Naghdy, Greg Schiemer, T. Hurd
Professor Fazel Naghdy
The carillon is one of the few instruments that elicit sophisticated haptic interaction from amateur and professional players alike. Like the piano keyboard, the velocity of a player’s impact on each carillon key, or baton, affects the quality of the resultant tone; unlike the piano, each carillon baton returns a different forcefeedback. Force-feedback varies widely from one baton to the next across the entire range of the instrument and with further idiosyncratic variation from one instrument to another. This makes the carillon an ideal candidate for haptic simulation. The application of synthesized forcefeedback based on an analysis of forces operating …

The Haptic Carillon project is an ARC Linkage (APAI) with Industry partners, the National Capital Authority and Olympic Carillon International. Our objective is to create an electronic practice clavier with the sound and feel of a real carillon. This will solve a problem that has plagued carillonists for centuries, namely, the inability to practice their instrument in private. Progress has been made synthesising haptic characteristics of the traditional clavier. We propose to present a comparative demonstration of the haptic and original carillon clavier. This will happen in the clavier chamber of the National Carillon, Aspen Island on Lake Burley Griffin. …

The commercialisation of higher education, an increasingly diverse student population, the emphasis on educational technology and flexible delivery, the need to be internationally competitive and the increased regulation on quality standards, just to name a few factors, has seen a rapid transformation of the university system and the demands placed on the staff therein. Assisting staff to cope with such changes and providing them with the necessary skills to effectively contribute to the needs or goals of the institution requires sophisticated methods of professional development. This paper introduces one such method that is being implemented at the University of Wollongong. …

Haptic Carillon: Sensing And Control In Musical Instruments, Mark Havryliv, Greg Schiemer, Fazel Naghdy
Haptic Carillon: Sensing And Control In Musical Instruments, Mark Havryliv, Greg Schiemer, Fazel Naghdy
Professor Fazel Naghdy
This paper discusses the proposed design of a hapticrendered practice carillon clavier. This instrument will produce a haptic feedback coupled with a responsive bell synthesis algorithm in order to replicate the authentic playing ‘feel’ and sound of a conventional mechanical carillon. An original classification scheme for haptic devices is presented with two principle goals: 1. to forge a conceptual understanding of the nature of a haptically-enabled version of a traditional instrument, and 2. to identify which existing haptic projects contribute towards a technical roadmap for the haptic carillon. Devices surveyed include both musical instruments and other applications that clarify the …
Synthesising Touch: Haptic-Rendered Practice Carillon, Mark Havryliv, Fazel Naghdy, Greg Schiemer
Synthesising Touch: Haptic-Rendered Practice Carillon, Mark Havryliv, Fazel Naghdy, Greg Schiemer
Professor Fazel Naghdy
This paper describes the design and construction of a prototype haptic carillon baton, and mathematical modelling of the carillon mechanism. Other research which haptically renders the grand piano mechanism inspires analysis of the kinematic constraints of the carillon mechanism. Analysis is used to construct a physical model using Simulink. This is then implemented numerically in a Java application. A microcontroller is programmed to interface the prototype’s motor and force sensor with a desktop Java application, allowing realtime simulation of the computational model in conjunction with the prototype. A strategy for containing all physical model computations on an AVR Microcontroller is …
