M29CDE.............. ... ................. M95CS: Course of study: ................ Project Supervisor:. 2. Project title (provisional) [Meaningful, relevant and concise]

3.Outline (synopsis) of your project.[ What are the aims and objectives of the project?] The main objective of the project lies in understanding the underlying concepts of music synthesis. The project would deal with simulation and working of a piano using simulink matlab. The project would give the mathematical description of production sound for different Octave codes, note codes and their combination. The implementation would consists of sinusoidal generator and a envelope generator.

4. Project requirements and deliverables. [ a) Identify the main requirements to be met. b) Identify the process stages and the corresponding deliverables.]

a) Understanding the generation of music in a piano and its mathematical model Development of the mathematical model in simulink and testing it. b)

5. Research [ a) identify a research methodology - how will you investigate the project needs? a) b) c) d) Disassemble the aim of the project into smaller parts into basic requirements. Identify the learning process in each part and collect necessary resources. Implement the each phase separately in simulink. Integrate the entire into the final output.

6. Evaluation. [ a) What makes the project outcome successful? b) How will you demonstrate that it fulfils the stated requirements in (4)? c) How will you evaluate the project outcome?] a) a complete simulation of piano with a proper generation of sound for each octave codes, note codes and their combination. b) a simulink model with a output through speaker. c) Comparing with a real model output.

7. Development skills. [ a) What information and resources do you need to complete the project successfully? ] a) b) c) d) Principle of music synthesis. Development of mathematical models. Skills in signal processing. Matlab

8.Skill acquisition. [How do you intend to gain the skills, information and resources specified in (7)? ]

1) Web resources. 2) Text materials from library.

9. Identify the essential stages of your project and estimate the number of hours you are planning to spend for each of the stages. Stages Number of hours required Deadline to meet

( ) Total number of hours This form must be accompanied by your Ethics Form, signed by both you and your supervisor.
