Algorithms and Interactive Tools for Exploring Music Composition, Analysis, and Interdisciplinary Learning.
How to:
There are 6 basic steps to create music from your data.
1) Pitch Input
This is where you enter your starting data, what you want to turn into music.
2) Pitch Mapping
This is where your data values are modified to be read as a musical note; the range of 1-88 represents the 88 keys on a piano with a value of 0 representing silence (no pitch).
3) Duration Input
This is where each number of your data set is given a number representing a length of time to play. A higher number plays the respective note for a longer amount of time.
4) Duration Mapping
This is where the duration values get mapped a range of durations, each being associated with the pitch from Pitch Mapping.
5) Scale Options
This is where the Pitch Mapping output is adjusted to fit a designated musical scale.
6) Play
Here you can change tempo, instrument playing your data and save your creation as a MIDI file.
Head over to the "Play" tab and enjoy your creation!
