RoboSax Melody Slot Machine

摘要

This paper describes RoboSax Melody Slot Machine, which automatically plays fingering melodies selected using a dial-like controller with stave notation on a tablet screen. All that are required for the saxophone to output the melody selected by the tablet operator are the blowing and tonguing of the saxophonist. RoboSax Melody Slot Machine makes the task of selecting melodies, which was previously possible only for composers, possible for the general people and enables saxophone playing by those who cannot quickly read the note names on the staff.
