Audio Time Compansion for Studio and Performance Synchronization
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent research has provided systems that play musical accompaniment on real-time synthesizers while following the performance of human soloists. Another solution to electronic music's problem of syncing live players to pre-recorded tapes is a system using a time code synchronized tape deck whose audio output is pitch corrected for any tape speed deviation. A frequency shifter with SMPTE time code input is required for this task. With a computer-based, variable-rate time code generator, a musical performance can be compared against an internal representation of its score and external devices-be they audio or video tape machines, video disk players, or MIDI synthesizerssynchronized to the live action. Two forseeable uses of this interactive time code generator will be the freeing of musical sequencing tasks from the host computer in "synthetic performer"-allowing the computer to concentrate on pitch tracking and score following while sequencing and synthesis is accomplished by dedicated MIDI machines-and the synchronization of visual images-such as from video disk-to live musical performance. The complete system of time code generator and reader/pitch shifter will be outlined in this paper, and other uses for the technology developed therein will be suggested.

This experiment was carried out on 123 Farahani ewes from a herd in Delijan city in Markazi province of Iran to determine the best short-term method for oestrus synchronization. Ewes were divided into five experimental groups randomly: group 1) use of controlled intervaginal drug release devices (CIDR) for 7 days with intramuscular (IM) injection of PGF2α on zero day and IM injection of 500 IU ...
متن کاملA Survey – Audio and Video Synchronization
The audio and video Synchronization is extremely necessary. The synchronization loss between image and sound continues to disturb observers and irritate telecasters. The demand is to assure synchronization without adjusting content at the same time as still retaining price low. The objective of the synchronization is to line up both the audio and video signals that are processed individually. T...
متن کاملGlobal Finite Time Synchronization of Two Nonlinear Chaotic Gyros Using High Order Sliding Mode Control
In this paper, under the existence of system uncertainties, external disturbances, and input nonlinearity, global finite time synchronization between two identical attractors which belong to a class of second-order chaotic nonlinear gyros are achieved by considering a method of continuous smooth second-order sliding mode control (HOAMSC). It is proved that the proposed controller is robust to m...
متن کاملSynchronization for Complex Dynamic Networks with State and Coupling Time-Delays
This paper is concerned with the problem of synchronization for complex dynamic networks with state and coupling time-delays. Therefore, larger class and more complicated complex dynamic networks can be considered for the synchronization problem. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a delay-independent criterion is obtained and formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)...
