3. WEB MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
``CREATOR''
USING CSOUND
The objective is to write a web interface allowing the creation
of different (real and artificial) musical instruments. This creation
will be done by creating CSOUND .orc and .sco files (see
http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-books/csound/frontpage.html and click on any of the panels
to the left) which can then
be processed to create a .wav (audio) file. Instruments will be defined at
the fundamental level of
- specifying the relative harmonics.
- giving curves for ``attack'' and ``decay'' amplitudes of individual
notes.
The software will allow for polyphonic music, i.e. a number of
instruments playing simultaneously. It will run using APACHE, LINUX, C,
PHP, CSOUND. An interest
in/knowledge of music would help in this project.
