Virtual Piano using Assembly Language Programming

Abstract

In the field of music technology and computer programming, the concept of a virtual piano represents a fascinating intersection. This project aims to develop software using assembly language and TASM (Turbo Assembler), emulating the functionality of a physical piano. The goal is to replicate the production of musical notes similar to those generated by pressing keys on an actual piano. At its core, the virtual piano program orchestrates various components seamlessly. The audio processing module synthesizes distinct notes, each defined by a unique frequency, as users interact with the program by pressing mapped keyboard keys. A thoughtfully designed user interface is crucial, as it bridges the gap between the user and the underlying program, facilitating smooth interaction. By integrating these elements harmoniously, the virtual piano emerges as a comprehensive tool that merges creativity with technology. Harnessing the intricacies of low-level programming allows for the accurate translation of user input into coherent musical notes. Additionally, a solid foundation in audio processing is essential for achieving an authentic rendition of piano sounds. Ultimately, upon completion, the virtual piano program transcends mere software, embodying a transformative musical experience. It not only serves as a functional instrument but also showcases the potential of assembly language in creating sophisticated and engaging digital applications. Through detailed audio synthesis and a user-friendly interface, this project highlights the convergence of technology and art, offering users an immersive and educational encounter with music and programming.
