Extreme Time Stretching - Max/MSP/Jitter Spectral Sound Processing 3

This video is related to the free pdf article "A Tutorial for Spectral Sound Processing with Max/MSP and Jitter", published in the Computer Music Journal, Fall 2008. A FFT based Phase Vocoder makes possible extreme time stretching and audio freeze. ---Download the free article: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/comj.2008.32.3.87 ---Download Max/MSP/Jitter patches: http://www.cycling74.com/share.html ---More information on audio freeze: http://www.jeanfrancoischarles.com/2008/10/freeze-sound-with-maxmspjitter.html ---UPDATE after comments: a version of Plex for Violin and Live Electronics: http://jfcharles.bandcamp.mu/track/plex-violin

cycling74 just reconnected the old share page contents. You can download 16 patches to study spectral sound processing - I updated the link in the video information.

really good example, going to check patch out and use open sound control to link with face tracking / color tracking / ipod touch accelerometer data for a performance, ohhhhhh spoke too soon, your link to cycling is INVALID, pity, no patches....

[jfcharles]

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Yes, indeed, cycling74 just updated their web site, and their "user pages" are in "coming soon" state now. Hope they fix that soon. In the meantime, just e-mail me and I will send you all of these patches (you should find my contact when visiting my blog).

Thanks for the comments. Yes, reading the article may be useful to get more insight. Otherwise, just playing with the Max patches can be fun. You can even use them without a Max license: you can use Max runtime and play with most of them, generate sounds, and maybe record the sounds (using some audio routing software such as SoundFlower or Jack, etc).

try giving Keith Acheson a ring, the asst. manager at the Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast. That's all I can think of at the moment. Shall we trade email addresses?

Cheers Brendan, but jfcharles has kindly mailed them to me, will have a mess around with them and see what I can do, do you know any dance groups in belfast brendan who might be interested in a performance using face/color/motion tracking/dmx lighting and the likes, using wii and/or ipod touch?
