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

The software sampler with sounds of of the dulcimer
Bičan, Jan ; Přikryl, Lubor (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
Major aim of this thesis is to create VST plugin module, which would be an output part of electronic cimbalom (dulcimer). Thesis explains basic terms at first, such as sampler, cimbalom, VST, MIDI, microphones and microphone techniques for recording. Then it describes particular segments of creating a software sampler with cimbalom samples. That includes recording each of individual cimbalom tones, sorting and editing these samples and implementing to VST technology. Thesis also describes instrument’s difficulties and differences from other related plugin modules and offers solution. There is a thesis’s assessment at the end of the document, where is mentioned its progress, testing with hardware components of electronic cimbalom and its imperfections with suggestions of future improvement.

Granular Synthesis in Music Production
Pečinka, Pavel ; Glembek, Ondřej (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
Cílem této práce je navrhnout a vytvořit aplikaci pro granulární syntézu, využitelnou v hudbení produkci. Aplikace je implementována jako VST3 zásuvný modul s využitím frameworku JUCE a programovacího jazyka C++ a je schopná propojení s programy typu Digital Audio workstation, zkráceně DAW, což jsou programy sloužící jako centrální bod pro hudební producenty, kde mohou mimo jiné vytvářet nové zvuky, provádět mixování skladeb a vytvářet zvukové nahrávky. Tento zásuvný modul je navržen jako sampler a je schopen nahrát zvukový soubor obsahující audio data, která dále využívá pro další zpracování a následné přehrávání. Z vyhodnocení uživatelského testování vyplývá, že je tato aplikace použitelná pro hudební produkci jako nástroj pro granulární syntézu.

Experimental Software Musical Instrument on Android Platform with Ability to Control Parameters by Text Conversion
Rychtecký, Václav ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The purpose of the thesis is to create a mobile application on the Android platform, characterized by creation of sound using a text captured by a built-in camera of the device in combination with synthesizer, sequencer and sampler. The implementation is partly based on a design prepared within a semestral thesis and is divided into several parts. The first part briefly describes the types of syntheses, the Android operating system, the Pure Data programming language, MIDI and the Android library for controlling Pure Data. The second part deals with the design of the application and the third part describes the implementation and especially the functionality of the application which is created using the programming language Kotlin and IDE Android Studio from JetBrains in combination with the language Pure Data.

Modern pitch-shifting algorithms and its aplication in virtual musical instruments
Křupka, Aleš ; Balík, Miroslav (referee) ; Trzos, Michal (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with pitch shifting methods of acoustical signals. The theoretic part of this thesis involves description of three different pitch shifting techniques, these are the method using a modulated delay line, PICOLA method and method using a phase vocoder. The first two methods represent the processing in time domain, the third method represents the processing in frequency domain. In relation with the PICOLA method, the thesis also mentions algorithms for pitch estimation. The practical part demonstrates the use of these methods. There is described a sampler virtual musical instrument based on the playback of the sounds stored in memory. In this part the particular units providing the required functionality are described. The generating of sounds is controlled by the MIDI protocol. In the sampler is implemented the PICOLA method.

Experimental Software Musical Instrument, Combining Step Sequencer and Sampler
Dobrocký, Filip ; Jirásek, Ondřej (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to design an experimental software musical instrument combining a step sequencer and a sampler. The distinctive qualities of said instrument lie in the ability to produce complicated polyrhythms and make use of microtonality. The theoretical part of the thesis explores concepts such as polyrhythms, musical intonation systems, microtuning of electronic musical instruments, and explains the fundamentals of step sequencing and sampling. The practical part of the thesis features the design and implementation of the instrument, which takes form of a VST plug-in module implemented using the JUCE framework.

Video on Demand Protocols Testing using Apache JMeter
Srnec, Tomáš ; Smékal, David (referee) ; Číka, Petr (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals with testing the application protocol HLS and RTSP in JMeter program. The aim of this thesis is to design and implement a test modules for both protocols, which will perform stress tests. The first part of thesis describes the types of stress tests, JMeter program for performance testing and video on demand services. Next chapter describes selected protokols, especially HLS and RTSP, which are used in this thesis. The practical part contains the design and implementation of test modules including test plans. Finally, the results are processed and commented.

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.
