  • Spring 2012: For undergraduates and graduates: Music Informatics Seminar,
    Meeting Fr., 11:15 am, in Ferg 115

  • Assignments for 1/27:

    • Install Java on your computer.

    • Download and Compile (javac...) the HelloWorldApp.java class.

    • Run (java...) the compiled HelloWorldApp.class.

    • Read the three chapters objects, classes, inheritance in the tutorial.

    • Read the chapter on variables in the tutorial.

    • Write down four classes (just use your words, no technical language).

  • Assignments for 2/03:

    • Use the class Cat.java I sent you by email as a reference to build your own classes.

    • Read the chapter on operators in the tutorial (pay attention to read everything there!!!)

    • Write you own class(e)s, also using the operators, to demonstrate next Friday.

  • Assignments for 2/10:

    • Read the chapter on flow control in the tutorial (again: read everything there!!!).

    • Think about general ideas concerning our collaborative project of musical composition.

  • Assignments for 2/17:

    • steps to compile and deploy the example plugin:
      -place the entire file structure in the example rubette zip, which we sent you by email, anywhere on your HD
      -go to that folder in your terminal
      -execute 'javac -classpath rubato.jar PassItOnRubette.java'
      -execute 'jar cvmf PassItOnManifest PassItOnRubette.jar .'
      -make a directory ~/Rubato/Plugins, where ~ stands for your home directory; to do so, make the command'mkdir Rubato', then change ('cd Rubato') into that directory and make the directory 'mkdir Plugins'
      -put the generated jar file in the folder '~/Rubato/Plugins',
      -run rubato (by double-clicking on the rubato.jar file
      -change the code however you wish, repeat the two execute steps in order to get the changed situation working in Rubato.

  • Assignments for 2/24:

    • please use the two classes I sent you by email.
    • compile them as described in theprevious assignments, and of course replacing the previous rubette name 'PassItOnRubette' by the new names.
    • ATTENTION 1: To compile the MelodyRubette, please remove the line 'package org.rubato.rubettes.score;'
    • ATTENTION 2: If you want to a cleaner jar file (not containing superfluous files), relating to the class XXX, just use the command 'jar cvmf XXXManifest XXXRubette.jar XXXRubette.class' instead of the above 'jar.....' command.
    • Also generate corresponding new manifest files from the already existing manifest file.
    • Look into these classes and try to understand their function. The Beethoven class is simple, the other one is quite involved.
    • Try to experiment with the Beethoven melody, e.g. changing it by some flow controls, etc., and then compile it!
