Experimental Electro-Mechanical Musical String Instrument
Svěrák, Jan ; Mojdl, Edgar (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to design and construct a prototype of an experimental electromechanical musical instrument of unusual construction and a plethora of achievable timbres. The design is based on a combination of fundamental attributes of two already existing instruments, namely the hurdy-gurdy and the electric guitar. The first chapter of this thesis analyzes the theoretical background of said problematics. The second chapter describes the construction and function of individual components, including the reasoning behind the chosen principles and materials. The third chapter describes the changes from the original design and the process of building the instrument. The fourth chapter evaluates the instrument in terms of functionality and its properties. The fifth chapter proposes changes in design which could eliminate or mitigate the problems revealed by the prototype.

Experimental Software Musical Instrument on Android Platform Combining Sampler, Synthesizer and Sequencer
Kučera, Karel ; Kavan, Jan (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is the realization of the application as an experimental software musical instrument on the Android platform. The implementation is partly based on the draft elaborated in semester work. The application is designed for tablets and smartphones. It combines functions of sampler, sequencer and synthesizer and contains built-in effects. With this features, it is possible to create new sounds, sequantions and songs. The applications is programmed by visual programing language Pure Data. The graphic interface is created by the MobMuPlat platform. The thesis is consists of three parts. The first part is a theoretical introduction, where are discussed, the theory of digital audio signal processing, principles and types of sound signal synthesis, effects and electronic instruments. Furthermore, the Pure Data and MobMuPlat platform features. The second part is an updated design of the graphical interface and there are discussed the functions of individual graphic elements. The third part describes implementation of the application by Pure Data

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.

Experimental Electro-Mechanical Musical Drum Instrument
Šípek, Petr ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to design and create an experimental mechanic-electrical drum instrument, namely a hybrid percussion instrument, using various resonant materials and oscillators supplemented by mechanical tuning in the main part of the instrument. Part of the instrument will consist of a series of piezoelectric transducers scanning individual segments of the musical instrument. It will be possible to edit each individual created sound by using effects.

Experimental Hardware Musical Instrument
Chaňo, Petr ; Vrba, Kamil (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The main aim of the bachelor thesis was to design and build a musical instrument that will have a signs of the experimentalism consist of combination synthesizer and sequencer, tuning, unusual kind of controls and its look. At the top of this work is the theoretical introduction to the musical instruments and to the process of generating and modulating sound. There is also written information about parts that the instrument consists of (microcontroller, D/A converter), principles that leads to being able to create this instrument (operational amplifiers, frequency filters, DDS) in the theoretical part. The description of the components is in the practical part followed by the information about the circuits at this instrument and about software solution as well.

Experimental Software Musical Instrument
Konečný, Dominik ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The goal of this document is a design and realization of a synthesizer combining additive and subtractive synthesis in Max/MSP. The synthesizer will distinguish itself from others with its high variability of amplitude envelopes, low frequency oscillators (LFO) and an option of micro interval tuning and inharmonious spectrum. There will also be an option to setup the parameters by typing a text string.
