Graphical Transformations - Max/MSP/Jitter Spectral Sound Processing 1

[desnos]

HI

x Es.

can i download many image from google search image

(in realtime?)

and start to make a sound with that ?

using Max5/mps/jitter

i 'm new in max5 ( but i like to learn) i read you article in Mit forum

thank for time you spend for us

friends of research

@desnos Hi, thanks for the question. To download images from Google search into Max/Jitter, you can find more info on the Max MSP forum on cycling74's web site. Search the archives, answers should already be there. Then, to make sound from them, it's possible, but an image gives you just an amplitude info, you'll have to make-up (or not) phase information. Plus, the image might not be 32-bit color resolution, whereas you have a 32-bit float data behind the images in the phase vocoder.

the last one is great!

how did you do it?

did you transpose the riff on 4 different octaves?

@antonvonwebern Thanks for the comments. Well, it's really just graphically-based sound processing. For the last one (kind of a kaleidoscope), you can see and hear that there is a time compression. What happens in the frequencies is a kind of transposition for the lowest part. Then the upper parts, we could say they are frequency-shifted versions of the transposed one. But it's really made by processing the data as an image.

Very Interesting!  Well done.

Thank You.
