Week 4

During this meeting, Professor Dosiek and I discussed my pseudo code for generating MIDI parameters from the captured power grid data. The pseudo code mapped out how I will be generating the MIDI parameter values. The maximum and minimum sample signal values will be used for determining ranges for each MIDI value. Voltage magnitude will be converted into a MIDI velocity value and frequency will be converted to a MIDI frequency value. For velocity I will be using all 127 values with 0 corresponding to the lowest measured voltage magnitude and 127 corresponding to the highest measured voltage magnitude. For pitch I decided to center the pitches at middle c or MIDI pitch value 60. The fluctuations above will be 2 octave above the middle C and the fluctuations below will be 2 octaves below middle C.
