IMUTUS was an RTD project that aimed at the development of an open platform for training students on the recorder. The paper focuses on one of the most important and innovative parts of the IMUTUS system, the practicing environment. This environment integrates technological tools for the automatic analysis and evaluation of student performances along with enhanced interaction schemes to provide an effective approach to music learning. Testing and validation activities that have been carried out indicate that the IMUTUS approach is appreciated by both students and teacher, and that it clearly has a strong potential.

The project involves many components oriented towards a new approach of music learning. After a brief overview of the system, the performance evaluation module and the music score processing components are described to show how they enforce the peda-gogical approach.

Confrontée aux nouvelles formes musicales comme les musiques élec-troniques, les oeuvres interactives, le live coding, aux phéno-mènes de migration de l'instrument musical vers des plates-formes gestuelles et mobiles, aux hybridations avec la danse, le design, le multimédia, la partition contemporaine est sou-vent étendue, éclatée sur des supports différents, revisitée à travers de nouvelles formes d'écriture. Cet article fait le point sur les évolutions actuelles de la notation musicale et sur les outils informatiques émergents pour servir ses be-soins.

This platform is characterized by an open, highly interactive and networked multilingual music tuition framework that covers a selection of popular wind instruments. The VEMUS environment integrates innovative, pedagogically-motivated elearning components to augment traditional music teaching in three distinct learning settings, namely self-practicing, classroom and distance learning. In the present article, the current stage of development of VEMUS is presented, and the areas where it might be of most use towards supporting the educational activities associated with music tuition are identified.

Ce standard décrit un format permettant la paquetisation de toute commande pouvant apparaître légalement sur un câble DIN MIDI 1.0. Il utilise le cadre générique fourni par RTP et les outils qui lui sont associés afin de permettre une transmission de ces données MIDI en temps réel. Un tel protocole pourrait être utilisé dans le cadre d'applications interactives ou pour le streaming de fichiers. Le format propose également un mécanisme de réparation en cas de pertes de paquets lorsque le flux est transmis à travers un environnement réseau incertain. Après une brève présentation de MIDI et de RTP, l'article présente le domaine et les enjeux de RTP MIDI puis le format des paquets et les mécanismes de réparation décrits dans ce standard ainsi que, pour finir, nos travaux d'implémentation d'une bibliothèque permettant la création et l'analyse de payloads au format RTP MIDI et pouvant s'intégrer au système MidiShare.

The presented implementation is based on the software architecture of MidiShare. After some reminders about Ethernet and MidiShare, we shall present an overview of the intended solution. Then we shall examine the chosen protocols, the implementation and its performance.

The proposed algebra is based on three binary operations of construction : sequential, parallel and recursive constructions. These operations can be seen as high level connection schemes that set several connections at once in order to combine two block diagrams to form a new one. Algebraic representations have interesting applications for visual languages based on block diagrams and are useful to specify the formal semantic of this languages.

It was awarded the Apple Trophy (1989), the Paris-City prize (1990) and more recently, the Max d'Or at the Bourges International Musical Software Competition (1999). Multi-platform ...

Cet article expose les différentes stratégies mises en oeuvre pour exploiter voire amplifier la complémentarité des perceptions visuelles et sonores, avec un point de vue particulier sur les applications dans le domaine de la pédagogie de la pratique instrumentale.

The first one aims to describe temporal trajectories. The second allows the manipulation of both real-time and deferred time streams. We shall describe the architecture of the real-time reduction machine used for evaluation. We shall also review the expected consequences of this approach.

This paper explains the new option and presents some benchmarks.

Ce protocole inclus des mécanismes permettant de compenser la latence du réseau et d'optimiser l'utilisation de la bande passante. Il prend également en compte les dérives d'horloges des différentes machines impliquées dans une transmission. Il est particulièrement adapté à la transmission d'événements musicaux tels que les messages MIDI.
