Additionally, there are few research on blending modern music with Chinese traditional genres. By addressing these issues, the project is an invention contributes to Chinese traditional music instrument in a modern context and innovatively researches the possible music style transformation between model music and traditional Chinese music. # Solution Overview The project aims to revive the melody played by smartphones in the Chinese traditional Chimes. We will first recognize a melody from a smartphone and generate the adapted melody for chimes, then transform the melody to signals, and then control a mechanical design to ring the chimes with the motor. # Solution Components - Melody Recognition and Generating Model: The model will be trained to automatically recognize the main melody from a period of sound played by the smartphone and adapt to Chinese traditional style for chimes. - Electrical Control System: The system will transform the generated melody to location and time signals （for different pitches and rhythms) and build a microcontroller. - Mechanical System: A hammer structure hanging horizontally at the top of a series of chimes controlled by a motor. It will ring the corresponding chimes controlled by the electrical control system. # Criteria for Success - Training a machine learning model that could correctly recognize the melody from a smartphone (with noise). Apply the algorithm to adapt the recognized melody for chimes play. - Generating correct position and time signals and successfully controlling motor operation. - Easy and flexible structure for hammer ringing every chime. - Make the adapted music pleasant and make the whole structure as simple as possible. |
