daBowsa Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 In the interest of music and science, I present to you... Hamster Sequencing! An intelligent MIDI sequencer was designed with hamster control. The MIDI sequencer intelligently produced melodies by manipulating the musical elements of rhythm and note-choice. Guided by inputs based on hamster movements, Markov chains were used to perform such beat and note computations. In culmination, 3 simultaneous voices were produced spanning 3 octaves and 3 rhythmic tiers. Each voice was controlled by two hamsters: one that was responsible for adjusting the rhythmic qualities of the melody and another that modified the note sequence.(Watch the video for full effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The obvious question remains: are you less of a player if you rely on Hamster Sequencing? Cheers, SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthetic Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I couldn't get the video to work on a Mac. He should have used analog control voltages. MIDI seems too quantized for this experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
