Last few months I've been building digital musical instruments for Android [0], I guess I'll continue working on that. So far I've built a few 'instruments' that emulate traditional instruments (guitar, organ, choir...) that you can play in real time on your phone. During next year I would like to take advantage of interactive platform, to make the instrument actually respond to your playing (and then to augment it).

- catbird 9y agoVery cool! I love the guitar mode especially (as long as I'm leaning far to the left to get a clean sound haha). I was wondering, what are you using to make this? Are the sounds sampled, or is there digital synthesis going on?
- veli_joza 9y agoThanks. I'm using free samples I find around (common source being decompiled soundfonts). I also plan to integrate Faust audio processing which would enable true digital synthesis and HiFi sound effects. Next version of guitar should have wah-wah effect.
- vram22 9y ago>Last few months I've been building digital musical instruments Ha ha, that's a fun area. I had written this Python "piano" app for PCs a while ago; it's simple, but the comments on it about Western classical music theory (which I am a newb at) were interesting: https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2013/04/play-piano-on-your-computer-with-python.html https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2013/04/play-piano-on-your-comput... Edit: In fact, I had first written a BASIC version of this same program on my first personal computer, an IBM PC Jr., which I wrote about here: Lissajous hippo, retrocomputing and the IBM PC Jr.: https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/09/lissajous-hippo.html https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/09/lissajous-hippo.html
