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. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
