  Interpolation Summary
Linear interpolation is the simplest form of interpolation where a function is estimated by drawing a straight line between the nearest neighboring given points on either side of a required position.
Furthermore, the interpolant is a polynomial and thus infinitely differentiable.
For instance, rational interpolation is interpolation by rational functions, and trigonometric interpolation is interpolation by trigonometric polynomials.

  Interpolation - from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Interpolation is a specific case of curve fitting, in which the function must go exactly through the data points.
Furthermore, the interpolant is a polynomial and thus infinitely differentiable.
For instance, rational interpolation is interpolation by rational functions, and trigonometric interpolation is interpolation by trigonometric polynomials.

 Interpolation
The use of the term interpolation in mathematics was inspired in an obvious way by that concept, but is different: it refers to the approximation of a value of a function for which we only know values for a discrete set of values of the independent variable.
Polynomial interpolation is a generalization of linear interpolation.
In music, interpolation is an abrupt change of elements, with (almost immediate) continuation of the first idea.

Art music is bound by a 'System', 'Sruti' and 'laya', i.e., remaining aligned to a basic pitch and maintaining a regular beat, are the requirements, not just of art music, but of any music in India.
Music by itself means only the melodic edifice with or without the scaffolding of tala, created by the voice or tonal instrument, and does not include the drum part, In a South Indian concert performance the drumming supplies another dimension, and together with the melodic event, creates a larger, complex art form.
In south Indian music tala-s are of two kinds-those which belong to the group of 35 tala-s and those which belong to a random collection of tala-s such as misra-capu and khanda-cap.

 The Arts in France - French Music
The chief musical forms of this period were the motet--now little resembling its medieval ancestor--and the cyclic mass.
By the late 15th century musical supremacy was taken over by Flemish musicians; never again was French music to dominate as it had during the Middle Ages.
The eclectic aspect of contemporary French music, which uses serialism, electronic music, and aleatory techniques, as well as Oriental and other non-Western modes, is largely due to the influence of composer Olivier Messiaen, who taught many of the major postwar composers, most notably Pierre Boulez.

Phillips tried very hard to keep everything to a linear interpolation (much of the interleaving is arranged to increase the linear interpolation region as much as possible - to 48 frames +2symbols to be precise) as the hold interpolation produces considerable high frequency hash (a sort of zinging sound).

 SOUND COMPRESSION/INTERPOLATION BY GRANULATION
Sound granulation was originally proposed in 1946 for narrow band communication and has been applied for electro-acoustic music since 1970s.
The technique has been applied for sound processing mainly for music composition [9][10], where as a similar technique called wavelet transformation is applied mainly for sound and image processing in engineering.
By applying this technique, time-compression at the sender side and time-expansion at the receiver, sound compression and reconstruction with interpolation by granulation can be achieved.

Meanwhile, the relationships between music and the human cognition have been raising a myriad of recent works in the most several correlate issues, which can be gathered under the generic term of musical cognition, or others of equal value.
That is, the musical cognition will be prescribed starting from the present characteristics in the normal “music” that we knew, of the musical patterns established socially, of an preformed idea (idealization) of the musical contents.
If a causal “needing” is stipulated between the musical perception and its objects, this causality doesn't seem to supply new data nor for a free interpolation between music and musicality (between musical elements and its psychological effects), nor for a contingent relationship with the language and the Linguistics, for besides a mere instrumentality.

It is necessary to interpolate between given sounds as illustrated in figure 2.
The shaded area in figure 2 shows where this kind of interpolation can not be used, because only one sound provides frames for the corresponding RPM values.

 [music-dsp] Sine waves, Nyquist, sample rates confusion
Fortunately, musical gear isn't played at "full code" on a CD, people put noise gates on their stomp boxes (and the "music" drowns masks the noise the rest of the time, just as the envelope does with VCAs for synths and samplers).
But saying that "linear interpolation does not work on audio, it's just a complete failure as a method (well unless you oversample by better methods to an extreme degree before hand)" is being heavy handed.
So, when you have an interpolation error at a certain frequency, you have to subtract how many dB that frequency is down in the source material to see the impact on the overall sound.

The similiarity between Indian Music and Western classical music begins in the fact that both possess seven basic notes, that serve as building blocks of all musical compositions.
If resampling is done at a higher rate the given sample is zero packed and then interpolated using a FIR filter (the cut-off frequency of the filter is proportional to the new sampling rate).
Interpolation is the process, by which the samples obtained by resampling (generally lesser then the original) are used to get back the sound signal, although of a different pitch.

 INTERPOLATION
Interpolation Interpolation is the process of obtaining a value from a graph or table that is located between major points given, or between data points plotted.
Using the curve in the following example, the value of the dependent variable at 4.5 can be estimated by interpolating on the curve between the two data points given, resulting in the value of 32.
Note that the interpolation is the process of obtaining a value on the plotted graph that lies between two given data points.

 Makewavs - we reduce noise on records and tapes converted to cds
Another common noise is that 'fuzz' sound made when the needle runs through a fingerprint (which is caused by deterioration of the vinyl from acids produced by the molds that grew on the oils of the fingerprint).
It is very difficult to reduce the noise caused by the latter without compromising the sonic quality of the music itself, so we usually don't try.
When this happens, the best corrective technique is to use the music on the other channel to replace the segment wiped out on the one channel by the pop.

In music this principle is reflected in that we tend to follow separate melodies even when they cross each other.
In music this can be connected to the idea of tonality: The idea that certain pitches within a system of pitches (scales) serve as focal points for a piece (or section of a piece) of music.
In music this is illustrated in the fact that no matter how complex or unpatterned a piece may be, some sort of pattern will be imposed by the listener based on his/her experience.

Multiple wavetable interpolation is a form of music analysis/synthesis.
Optimized multiple wavetable interpolation is a new music analysis/- synthesis method introduced in the author's doctoral thesis that generalizes and optimizes multiple wavetable interpolation.
The method uses a clustering algorithm to select a bank of wavetables such that the wavetables will be useful in matching the breakpoint spectra of a wide variety of harmonic tones played by various instruments.

Edgard Varèse's music has been accorded only a marginal place in the mainstream musical community despite having long held a strong, resonant influence on many important creative musicians of the 20th century.

 Students of Game Design--Linear Interpolation
For instance, if we wanted a cannon to change its angle from 27 degrees to 90 degrees over the course of 7 frames, then we have a line that is 7 units long, with our initial value (27) at the left end and 90 at the right end.
When we are interpolating linearly, our value is changing by the same amount with every step, so if we know the distance from one step to another, we don't have to do any hefty recalculations.
We interpolate from the upper-left corner to the upper-right corner using standard 1-dimensional interpolation, and then we do the same thing from the bottom-left to the bottom-right.
