Next Generation Performance Rendering -- Exploiting Controllability
Keiji Hirata, Rumi Hiraga · 2000
We believe that the next-generation performance rendering system should be able to re ne and improve a generated performance interactively, incrementally and locally through direct instructions in the natural language of a musician. In addition, the generated performance must re ect the musician's intention properly. For these purposes, we propose a new framework called two-stage performance rendering. The rst stage translates a musician's instruction in natural language into the deviations of the onset time, duration and amplitude of structurally important notes and second stage spreads the deviations over surrounding notes. We demonstrate sample sessions using a prototype system that contains a gouping editor and a performance rendering engine. 1
