Prior to initiating this trial, effort to characterize the instrument's amplitude and phase responses, and standardize them between replicated instruments was required [ 32, 33].
Comprising a potentially infinite array of oscillators, filters, noise generators, ring modulators, triggers and mixers, linked by telephone exchange-type patch cables, and played using joysticks, pedals, ribbon controllers and keyboards, the modular Moogs had no interest in replicating existing instruments.
Profile: Kurzweil made his name with a series of inventions – the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind; the first synth capable of accurately replicating orchestral instruments – and after popularising the idea of the singularity (see "A futurist glossary, below"), he is now turning the bulk of his attention to reverse-engineering (structurally analysing) the brain.
But a lack of repertoire as well as the high cost of replicating the original instrument impedes the uptake — and eventual mastery — of new electro-acoustic devices like Slabs.
In one sense, "Les Espaces Acoustiques" anticipates and inverts an objective of electronically realized sound, which has often sought to complement and extend the world of voices and instruments: in this work, instruments replicate electronic effects.
There were 3 5 separate replicates of pooled tissue from a minimum of five fruit analyzed in each biochemical assay, with duplicate instrument measurements made on each replicate.
Link Trainer, airplane cockpit replicated, with full instruments and controls, in such a way that it can be used in a ground location for pilot training.
In order to study and perhaps replicate these historic instruments, researchers created the Musical Instrument Computed tomography Examination Standard, or MUSICES.
A further important step should be the publication of papers, allowing the developers to insert the new tools in a compendium, where all concerned researchers and regulators can find the instruments and replicate experiences to confirm the validity of the instruments.
Instead of audio recordings as the lasting human record, we will have a robotic orchestra replicating human playing behaviors on actual acoustic instruments.
