My background is in music informatics, and I am interested in the perception of sound in space (3D Audio) and ways in which computers can encode various aspects of music, such as a score, the recording of a performance, the instructions for a synthesizer, or its deep structures.
I work on technologies to promote digital access to our shared musical cultural heritage.

Arpeggiatorum: an Audio Controllable MIDI Arpeggiator
An arpeggiator is a system that takes in input notes (or chords) and breaks them up into sequences, so-called arpeggios. While typical MIDI arpeggiators receive and produce MIDI messages Arpeggiatorum allows for an audio signal to be the input of the system, performing monoor poly-phonic pitch estimation. Arpeggiatorum is also specifically designed to work with pipe organs. In this contribution we present the architecture of Arpeggiatorum, highlighting the design choices that lead to the development of specific features, and its strengths and current limitations. We will focus our attention on the possibility to use an audio input, for example a voice, or multiple voices, to control the system, and the new musical possibilities that emerge. We discuss the impact that of some of the most crucial parameters, namely accuracy and delay of the audio input have on the performances and suitability of the system.
