Hi folks,
        Thanks to Lilypond and a lot of work from the team here, the
UNSW/NICTA robot clarinet won first prize in the Artemis Orchestra
competition.

See
http://www.nicta.com.au/research/research_themes2/embedded_systems/artemis
for details.

The `articulate' script that adds phrasing and trills to the Midi
output will be available as soon as I get permission to post it,
likewise the Rimsky-Korsakov `Flight of the Bumblebee' (which will go
to Mutopia).

A few technical details on the robot:
 -- it has a gumstix running Linux, that does Lilypond and some
    control loops, which talk to ...
 -- a robostix that controls fifteen solenoids, an air pressure
    modulator, a fake tongue and some fake lips to operate the reed.

The clarinet itself is an unmodified Yamaha student model, albeit with
a plastic reed.
