My Project
I
am attempting to produce a conceptual design of an ideal music
composition controller aiming for non-professional music composers.
Why?
Nowadays,
we see a lot of exciting technological advances incorporated into
music—mainly for the performance of music. Music composition is
also an exciting area to explore. Although there already exists
a lot of software programs that contain a variety of music-editing
functions that are very handy and user-friendly, these software
programs are not 'mobile'. A hand-held device that allows people
to compose music while they are away from the computer is very
helpful. For example, a composer may come up with some great musical
ideas out of a sudden, and he or she may not have access to a
computer at that moment. It is useful if he or she can record
the music immediately via a convenient handheld device.
Features
Because
it is for non-professional users and intended for convenient input
of melody, I have focused on the simple basic features (in contrast
to all those advanced music composition software applications
out there).
- inputting
music
- editing
music (melody, tempo, volume)
- saving
- playing
back and navigating through the music
- printing
on music sheet
