Design of Virtual Javanese Gamelan as Learning Media

The design of virtual Javanese gamelan transforms the Javanese gamelan into a modern form through multimedia which can be used as an effective learning media. The development of such media aims at improving the concerns of Indonesian young people to the national cultural assets. One of the efforts is the use of multimedia technology. This design is the implementation of multimedia in Javanese gamelan equipped with menu consisting of some Javanese gamelan sounds which were recorded from some qualified instruments of Javanese gamelan. This virtual gamelan is designed to be played together by using personal computer or laptop in a place in which one laptop plays one instrument of Javanese gamelan. Planned as a learning multimedia of Javanese gamelan arts, this media is used as an early cultural transmission to introduce the Javanese gamelan arts to young people, particularly high school students.
