Richard Moore's DSP Code for a Piano String

Richard made this program to synthesize a piano string available for people to experiment with for free!

He would like some help updating the model so it can simulate a "prepared piano," so if you can help him, get in touch with him.  You can see his email address on this page:

Richard's Piano script is based on Master's thesis work by Charalampos Saitis which you can find at http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~harry/pdfs/Ch_Saitis_MA_Thesis.pdf .
 
Also, if you don't have Matlab, try out GNU Octave.  It's free, very compatiable and quite good!

Piano Player Rolls Transcribed via DSP

Clever application of DSP!

Zulko extracts notes from a youtube video of a player piano!  He talks you through every step of Python to pull it off. 

BTW, this video tours a factory where rolls for player pianos are made!  It shows a piano player entering notes one step at a time, some classic computers used in the process and many other fascinating details!

Hilarious Intro to DSP

A Great Sense of Humor

hahaha!  Honestly, it is rare to find people with a great sense of humor when learning DSP!  This video though, is a wonderful exception!  He describes DSP using PacMan!

My New Recommendation

Over on my main website DIYDSP.com, I go through great pains to introduce people to DSP so they can make music instruments from it.  I recommend books, FAQs and other tutorials - - but from now on, I'm going to be introducing people to DSP using this video!  Excellent!

Once You Get Through That

I've been collecting a whole playlist of youtube videos that help explain Digital Signal Processing, with a particular slant on learning how to make electronic music instruments, so check them out.

Sketch a Filter from DSP Creations

Draw a filter by hand with Dr. Gerry Cain's extremely powerful tool, Sketch-a-filt. Listening to him, I am amazed at how incredibly intelligent and experienced he sounds with DSP!
