Transferring Music Pieces into Different Scales based on Nyquist Language

Abstract

As the increasingly need for art in the society and the current boost in technology, computer music is known as an increasingly important field in our life. While for music scales, which determine a music piece’s genre and style, is also important to any music pieces. The idea of this study is to combine the concepts of music scales and computer music, realizing the ability for music scales transformation. This article will use Nyquist language as an example to provide a clearer perspective of the way that computer algorithms are able to transfer music pieces into different music scales. This study combined the advantages programming within Nyquist, which will be the music synchronize functions and the presence of the unique data type “score” with our music ideas. Thus, it was easy for users to compose the notes in a clear and ordered manner. After composing the scales as functions in Nyquist, one can modify music pieces into different styles according to the scales. In addition, based on the auto backup function in Nyquist, it is easy to retrieve a .wav format video file after processing the program on our terminals. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of music pieces transferring based on computer techniques.
