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)
