just when i thought i had plenty to be getting on with a fellow student showed me Cecilia for Csound. It has a graphical interface for a good number of sound manipulation tools, including granular sythesis. I’ve had a brief tinker but will have to set aside some time for some serious play……
also on my, increasingly long, to do list is concatenative sythesis. in particular i’ve started to look at cataRT by diemo schwarz at IRCAM. it lets one segment audio files in a number of different ways allowing a non-linear access to the file. it shares some similarity with granular synthesis but the audio can be accessed by measures such a spectral content not just time. multiple sound files can be held within the same database and accessed at the same time. allowing the morphing from on to the other.
i’d best fire up the coffee pot and put sleep to the back of my thoughts……
