Controlling complex virtuel instruments---A setup with note~ for Max and prepared piano sound synthesis

Thomas Resch, and Stefan Bilbao

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

This paper describes a setup for embedding complex virtual instruments such as a physical model of the prepared piano sound synthesis in the sequencing library note~ for Max. Based on the requirements of contemporary music and media arts, note~ introduces computer-aided composition techniques and graphical user interfaces for sequencing and editing into the real time world of Max/MSP. A piano roll, a microtonal musical score and the capability to attach floating-point lists of (theoretically) arbitrary length to a single note-on event, enables artists to play, edit and record compound sound synthesis with the necessary precision.
