Calibrated Background Noise Generators | Online & Free
Noise machines are great for blocking out background noises whether you’re trying to work, study, relax, or even sleep. Compared to conventional noise blocking machines, myNoise noise generators can be shaped to the frequency characteristics of the environmental noise one needs to block, and therefore achieve a better camouflage, or – in other words – a greater masking efficiency at quieter levels.
Playing the bouzouki in GDAD tuning.
This page has all the information that is specific to the G,DAd bouzouki tuning. This seems to be the most popular tuning, and is used by Irish bouzouki pioneers such as Donal Lunny (ex-member of Planxty, the Bothy Band, Moving Hearts, ….) and Andy Irvine.
The cadence is a critical element in any harmonic progression. Cadences will often come to you naturally without you being aware of them, but understanding how and why you are using them (and how you can avoid using them) will give you more sophisticated control over the dramatic shape and direction of your music.

American Mavericks: Harry Partch’s Instruments
By 1969, the year he recorded “Delusion of the Fury,” Harry Partch had designed 27 new instruments, all to be played on stage at the same time in a spatial ritual theater. These instruments were made to be beautiful in sound, vision, and “magical purpose.”
From the simple 3-string cigar box guitar instructional that started the Cigar Box Guitar Revolution to historical plans dating back to the 1800’s…we’ve collected them all.

ntoll.org: Species Counterpoint
Counterpoint is a term derived from the Latin punctus contra punctum (note against note). It is a piece of music combining two or more contrasting melodies; each of which is an individual melody when played on its own. Pleasing results are achieved when the constituent contrapuntal melodies fit together and complement each other.
This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes which produce the most divine sound ever.
We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played.
We’ll concentrate on “bucal cavity driven” nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones,
plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.
The Palette – Music Composing Tool – Overview
The program implements twelve four methods of motive development. Some of them are listed here: variation; inversion; repetition; sequence and so on. These methods similar to the visual effects in graphical editors. The program suggests the ‘theoretically correct’ algorithm for the melody creation. The main advantage of the algorithm is: we take some existing part of a melody (motive or phrase) and apply the methods of motive development (for example, variation) to this motive of phrase to create a new motive or phrase of the melody
Korg Forums :: View topic – Editing on the Wavedrum: Tips & Tricks
Editing on the Wavedrum is far from perfect—there doesn’t seem to be any disagreement on that. But it is what it is, and that shouldn’t stop anyone from taking advantage of the tremendously rewarding possibilities contained within the Wavedrum.
The main body of the Eigenharp software is now Open Source software, released under the GPLv3. If you are interested this enables you to develop Agents, help fix bugs and contribute to the ongoing Eigenharp project.
Free OpenSoundControl VST on Windows
Everywhere I go, people bug me about when they’ll see better support for OpenSoundControl (OSC) in applications. Why use fancy-schmancy OSC when MIDI does the job? Well, OSC supports higher resolutions of data when needed, maps variables elegantly (when you’re controlling something like visuals and descriptions like musical pitch or filter cutoff make no sense), and plays nice over networks and with multiple computers. In other words, go ahead and use MIDI when it does the job — but we need something else when it doesn’t.
Today FScape consists of around fifty independent modules for rendering audio files. From simple utilities such as separating channels, normalising, cutting and splicing sounds, through various DSP and filtering algorithms to more complex algorithmic units which take a sound, analyse it, and rearrange it in new forms. Many of the processes and their ways of parametrisation are unique.
The Web site contains interactive tools, which provide a unique learning experience for users, regardless of their musical training. Students of music composition can explore algorithmic composition, while others can create musical representations of models for the purpose of aural interpretation and analysis.
Ruin & Wesen: RWMidi Processing MIDI Library
The library provides access to existing MIDI devices through static methods in the RWMidi class. It differentiates between input and output device, because some OS provide devices that can do both input and output, while others don’t. Also, we don’t provide access to devices through IDs, because these could change dynamically.
AGE OF THE WHEEL: Circle of Fifths Chord Resource in Ableton Live
The session file is just a container for several midi clips organized around the circle of fifths. Every note’s major and minor key are described by the I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII chords that are grouped under it’s heading. The chords grouped under each heading all sound good in that track’s key
