Interpolator: a two-dimensional graphical interpolation system for the simultaneous control of digital signal processing parameters
Spain, M.G.; Polfreman, R. (2001)The musical use of realtime digital audio tools implies the need for simultaneous control of a large number of parameters to achieve the desired sonic results. Often it is also necessary to be able to navigate between ... -
Modalys-ER for OpenMusic (MfOM): virtual instruments and virtual musicians
Polfreman, R. (2002)Modalys-ER is a graphical environment for creating physical model instruments and generating musical sounds with them. While Modalys-ER provides users with a relatively simple-to-use interface, it has only limited methods ... -
Physically inspired interactive music machines - making contemporary composition accessible
Polfreman, R.; Loomes, M.J.; Wright, R. (2003)Much of what we might call ‘high-art music’ occupies the difficult end of listening for contemporary audiences. Concepts such as pitch, meter and even musical instruments often have little to do with such music, where all ... -
A task analysis of music composition and its application to the development of Modalyser
Polfreman, R. (1999)This paper presents an overview of a generic task model of music composition, developed as part of a research project investigating methods of improving user-interface designs for music software (in particular focusing on ... -
Time to re-wire Problems and strategies for the maintenance of live electronics
Polfreman, R.; Sheppard, D.; Dearden, I. (2006)While much work is proceeding with regard to the preservation and restoration of audio documents in general and compositions for tape in particular, relatively little research has been published with regard to the issues ... -
Towards effective singing voice extraction from stereophonic recordings
Sofianos, Stratis; Ariyaeeinia, A.; Polfreman, R. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)Extracting a singing voice from its music accompaniment can significantly facilitate certain applications of Music Information Retrieval including singer identification and singing melody extraction. In this paper, we ... -
User interface design and computer music systems
Polfreman, R.; Sapsford-Francis, J.; Lewis, J.; Burrell, H. (University of Hertfordshire, 1995)This report describes preliminary work carried out as part of a PhD research project into the design of user interfaces for computer music systems (incorporating software synthesis systems). It describes some of the features ...
