Clubhouse 21
00:00 Jeff's going for both an Alpha and a Pico
03:00 how are virtual instruments created, modeled versus sampled
07:42 constraints are different for modeled and sampled, CPU versus memory/bandwidth
08:55 EigenD being open source, agents can be developed independently, DevCon
09:35 leverage the existing papers and alogryhtms and implement them as EigenD agents
12:01 agents can be anything
13:17 programming knowledge needed is Python, C++ fairly straightforward with cfilter example
14:16 different layers of programming
14:35 assembling existing agents into creative synthesizers
15:23 share, import and export rigs (group of agents)
16:42 parallel with MaxMSP patches and externals
17:27 place for sharing the agents, rigs, ...
18:46 planetarium show: "Music of the spheres", Mike Oldfield music, laser show, lacked Eigenharps
20:31 lots of empty planetariums, go out of business, lack of interest, interesting venue to grab
21:16 Google performing arts day in June
21:36 connectivity problems
23:21 log buildings and Eigenharps ;-)
25:03 do AU/VST instruments play as nicely as the natively built instruments in EigenD
26:15 EigenD routing matrix, host automation parameters, MIDI CC
31:36 last week's problem with Omnisphere related to installation problem
32:46 balance between power, flexibility and convenience: hardware synths versus software synths
35:08 Spicy Guitar free guitar modeling plugin
35:43 VST and AUs are merely a de-facto standard, no formal specification that's good enough
37:58 plugin problems are usually stupid, EigenD ironed out a lot of incompatibility problems now
39:17 no central rig sharing place on the website yet
39:30 EigenD 2 still in experimental phase
42:32 how many Eigenharp Alpha's are out there in the world
44:02 article in the Atlanta Chronicle about new musical instruments adoption in history
45:27 Google performing arts day follow up
46:35 programming needs continuous practice or you start losing it, goes much quicker than you expect
49:01 http://wikifonia.org : sheet music sharing site with external contributions (transposable)
50:10 great tip, transpose music to C and then transpose back on the Eigenharp, very easy to play
50:46 forums discussion about notation, use cases for notation are being mixed
52:22 you have to really try out notation, both reading and writing to know how suitable they are
55:01 try to use existing software for the notation, Musescore, Sibelius
55:35 WikiFonia uses MusicXML, that could maybe be integrated into an agent
56:30 MusicXML initial experience from Dragica
UK
