Topics

Some core topics to work on (in random order):

  • sound i/o and feedback control (add compressor, EQ, test different microphones and actuators)
  • compare amplifiers (test)
  • feedback control: signal processing - based approaches (test vst - other platforms: juice)
  • violin augmentation (test)
  • MPE instruments and Bela (tested - different devices)
  • Myo and Bela (check whether it is possible)
  • sharing experiences from the latest artistic research
  • discussion on the music for the instruments
Some other interesting things we can talk about:
  • embedding MIR techniques
  • breathing (new mic)
  • a new design: the "mock acoustic" instrument (currently working on this with Juhana and people from Aalto University)
  • how much can we push the Bela amplifiers? Better: add new cape with larger amplifiers (Class-D, Class-T)
  • wireless connectivity
  • workflows when working with multiple Belas (how to update 10+ Belas quickly in an installation setup)
