碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 民族音樂研究所 === 104 === The thesis focuses on the study of sample library producing techniques which include recording, sound editing, script designing and making user interface, by sourcing the Paiwan twin-pipe nose flute and the modern Tsou twin-pipe nose flute. In the current market the majority of sample libraries for ethnic instruments are made by Occidental companies, and rarely have the indigenous Taiwanese instruments made. The thesis will present the process of the making of sample library created for the Taiwanese nose flutes. The research begins with the general background information regarding the history of music sampling and MIDI techniques. MIDI techniques serve a prerequisite for the making of sample library, because the synthesizer/sampler and all the other technological music products mainly communicate through the MIDI protocol. The nose flute sample library is create by the software Kontakt from the Native Instruments. It helps manage the recorded nose flute soundfiles, generate the script within the universal function module, and develop its user interface. Additionally, it is designed to let the users modify the script and fit their musical inventions. Through the systematic illustration, the research not only presents the core functions of the making process of a sample library but also creates its first for the indigenous Taiwanese nose flutes. The result provides a reference guide for researchers who have similar interests in this area and it attempts to broaden the connection between music archive and application.
