Early Build of Generative Software in Max/MSP

Here is a short video of where I'm up to with my 2nd piece of software for my MA in Research. The basic idea is to find segments based upon the amplitude of the audio and use them as indexes to play the file back using granular techniques.

A few longer samples can be found here,

I. Love. This.

What algorithm are you using for your granulation? Time- or frequency-based

[MachineSleet4]

@ronnie9253 thanks! its a simple time based thing. you'd be surprised what you can do with a few objects. the key here is the playback positions and how the playhead position is modulated.

@MachineSleet4

Look forward to a release soon.

Hey Mike

I read that you're doing an MA; is it in sound design and where are you studying? I'm doing a PhD in digital musical instrument design and would be interested to read any papers you may have on this subject, and would also be very interested to see the MaxMSP engine you are using here

now THAT's what I'm fuckin talkin about
