Experimental Electro-Mechanical Musical String Instrument
Blasche, Ondřej ; Mojdl, Edgar (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to design and build stringed mechanical electrphone with unusual sound characteristics. The end product is an instrument devided into three sections with specific options of sound creation, able to be both plucked and played with a bow. Thesis utilizes knowledge of electric guitar construction and their sound pickup methods. It also deals with experimentation in the field of strig instruments and their development.

Electroacoustic Hardware Musical Instrument - Sampler with Unusual Controlers
Dudáš, Martin ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes the design and implementation of an electroacoustic hardware instrument with unusual controls. The experimentalism of the instrument consist of, for example, parameter control based on surrounding light or parameter control by hand movement. The main part of the instrument is the Arduino development board, which controls the Sunvox modular synthesizer on the Raspberry Pi microcomputer. Communication between the Arduino and the synthesizer takes place via MIDI messages. The software part is programmed in the Arduino IDE development environment in C++.

Experimental synthesizer suitable for microtonal ambient music
Pavlov, Mykhailo ; Dlouhý, Dan (referee) ; Indrák, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is devoted to an experimental software instrument, the main component of which is a sequencer with the capability of microtonal tuning and scale selection. The main objective of this work is to design and implement such a synthesizer within the Reaktor environment based on knowledge and proposals acquired during the semester project. The work is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The task of the theoretical part is to summarize the theoretical knowledge necessary for the design and subsequent implementation of the instrument. These insights include a brief history, types of synthesis, typical design principles, and principles of interaction with the development environment. The practical part describes the process of designing and implementing individual components of the instrument, its design, and subsequently focuses on the practical use of the synthesizer, its unique features, and further theoretical development.

Experimental musical instrument, combining a sampler based on the tape principle and the principle of frequency modulation
Hofr, Šimon ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to design and implement an experimental mechanical-electric musical instrument specified as a sampler on the magnetophonic principle, whose sound is frequency modulated. In the theoretical introduction I will describe the basic classification of musical instruments and present examples from selected groups that are close to the proposed sampler. The second chapter is devoted to types of synthesis, of which frequency modulation is the central one. The third chapter describes the design of the sampler form and its circuitry. The fourth chapter discusses the realisation and construction findings.

Experimental granular software with spatial setting
Pospíšil, Tomáš ; Dlouhý, Dan (referee) ; Indrák, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with a design and realization of the experimental software, which has the task to distribute the granular synthesis into surround sound, specifically into the octofonic sound system. The software is designed as a VST3 plugin, which was created in a JUCE framework. Apart of problematics mentioned above the thesis also contains theoretical and technical knowledge linked with granular synthesis, surround sound and a form of realization of a resulting software. The end of this thesis is dedicated to the testing phase and deficits of resulting software.

VST granular plugin with experimental input and output settings
Kalinič, Jan ; Dlouhý, Dan (referee) ; Indrák, Michal (advisor)
This thesis discusses the development of a plug-in module that is able to implement granular synthesis with help of experimental methods of parameter value settings. Graphic designs and schemes were created in the vector graphics editor Inkscape. The separate plug-in was programmed in C++ language using the JUCE framework and VST3 technology. With a use of this module, granular synthesis can be performed over a predetermined sample, but also over the stream of an audio channel of a digital audio station. The module also includes blocks with other types of sound synthesis, which can also be modified in experimental ways. Thanks to its properties, the plug-in can be applied as an effect over one sound channel in the mixing section of an audio station.
