Not exactly a trombone. In a trombone you decide what note do you want to play by slider and LIPS cause the higher "buzz" you make by mouth the higher will be the note on the trombone without moving the slider. I think it would be hard to make that "lips moving" by machine. In slide whistle you just blow. And yes. I know that a joke but i wanted to explain this

@@duncathan_salt Well it depends if we're talking woodwind specifically or not. A trombone is a brass instrument and not a woodwind. They don't occupy the same niche.

"Keywinds"? Or well, "Brasskeys" or "Keybrass" in that case. Wind or Brass instrument's rigged up with a keyboard like a "Keytar." Would needa getup like marching with a bassdrum or Xylophone. Imagine the poor fella wacked by a motorized trombone slide though.... :d
I love the idea but I think trombone is nigh impossible since the slide doesn't cover all the notes. You need complex embouchure (lip tension manipulation) to switch registers (or even notes in the same register) and even the basic lip vibration technique would be really hard to recreate artificially. I doubt anyone could make a working midi trombone.
@@tomthepom98 I applaud your creativity but I'm afraid that the embouchure is different per note. I used to play a little (self taught, still a beginner) a while back so I picked it up today to feel how it worked again. Once I started playing, I remembered: you need to buzz your lips at the same pitch as what you're playing with your slide. It's kind of like how you can make a balloon squeal at different pitches if you deflate it while pulling the outlet tighter or looser. I hope someone proves me wrong and makes it work though. It would be so awesome.
@@TaylorTheOtter You don't need to replicate lips buzzing, you can just use a small, powerful speaker to pump a sound of the correct frequency into the tube where the mouthpiece goes. The trombone doesn't care exactly how you make the air inside it resonate, just that you do. Instead of a normal mouthpiece, you could fabricate a horn bell shape that attaches to a small driver on one end, and tapers down to fit into the trombone at the other. Servos or a linear actuator to move the slide and a small amp and tone generator to drive the speaker and you've got yourself a MIDI trombone.
I'm so glad the algorithm brought me this video. I was sold as soon as you started playing Star Wars, but then having FOUR SLIDE WHISTLES SING BARBERSHOP?? I had to leave a comment omg. Going to send this to all my barbershop friends :P
Won't it make sense to add a piezo element to the whistle and monitor the current pitch and adjust the position slightly in a PID loop, therefore solving both the backlash and the constant need of re-calibration?
I was thinking that if improvement was desired, step 1 would be to eliminate most/all of the backlash by going to an o-ring sealed metal (or plastic, or, heck, why not wood) piston. Once you take the slop out the feedback technique will work better - probably just a quick pre-performance automatic tuneup. I'd think closed loop while playing might make wobbly or 'chirpy' notes where you'd have a pitch transient at the beginning. Now that I think about it, a good analogy is the calibration strategy for the Volca Keys - it plays silent notes at itself while idle to keep the VCOs tuned, but doesn't while you're playing to avoid note-stepping. (the upshot is if you start playing before it's tuned up you'll get interesting results).
I am in AWE at the linearity of servo rotation to pitch. At the beginning of the video I thought the servo pair with linkages was a strange actuator choice and I was thinking about it all the way up until you started talking about the linearization, and then when you showed the graph my jaw was on the floor. Brilliant!
I really love how you structured this video with the explanations in between performances, as soon as I felt the video was over I was blessed with another ballad
Thank you for sharing. I have listened to the last piece probably a hundred times, and I know that my hours of enjoyment pale in comparison to the hours you must have spent on this. The mechanics are beautiful in their apparent simplicity and function. Thanks again.
As in.. Death by midi. (Also, a neverending stream of this, especially with machine learning (aka little repetition to hold on to) would probably qualify as 'torture' according to the Geneva Convention ;) *[hence, the Saw movie plot]) As cool as this thing is, a continous barrage of this sound.. Is something that I would struggle with ;) . ("Tell me ze locationz of ze missilez, Mr. Bond.. Or ze midi stringy thingie will play its own interpretation of Swan Lake...")
That might be difficult to implement because "good" or even just "tolerable" music is subjective to the human experience. So there's no really good way to train a Neural Network or other types of machine learning without a large database of examples. I guess you could just have it train on your favorite Spotify play lists but that again might wind up just making random notes without constant user feedback
Dude has a face that is a mashup of several famous actors. I can see Nathan Fillion, Harrison Ford, Pedro Pascal heck even Kevin Smith all combined into one.
I wonder what would be the best way to calculate the frequency. FFT might be overkill and I think one might already get decent results with autocorrelation.
@@kwinvdv I don't do signal processing so I might be wrong but isn't FFT the fastest way to do autocorrelation, meaning that we should just use the FFT directly anyway?
@@PascalSommerMovies I initially assumed that autocorrelation would be cheaper to calculate then FFT. However, according to wikipedia a fast algorithm for calculating the autocorrelation uses two FFTs. So FFT indeed seems to be the way to go.
What an elegant design ! It's simple, cheap and gives a better playability to the slide whistle all while making an annoying rattling sound. Great invention.
