Authorship of Computer Music Tools

 

 

á     LyonPotpourri 2.0 - a large collection of MaxMSP externals with a wide variety of functionality. Written for both MaxMSP and Pd, and released with source code.

 

á     FFTease 2.5 - FFTease rewritten with a more flexible architecture, expanded externals set, ported to Pure Data, recompiled as Universal Binaries for MaxMSP. (Since 2003, I have assumed full responsibility for the FFTease project.)

 

á     LyonPotpourri 1.0 of Externals - A set of externals for Max/MSP providing various capabilities, such as an additive synthesizer, a sample-accurate sequencer, a flanger, a phase modulated waveform, and so forth.

 

á     FFTease 2.0 - an expanded version of FFTease compiled for Mac OS X and Windows. (Collaboration with Christopher Penrose.)

 

á     POWERpv - a set of spectral processing tools based on the short time FFT and the phase vocoder. These tools provide multiple schemes for spectral alterations of sound for artistic purposes.

 

á     BashFest - a virtual drum machine. This tool preserves the drum machine paradigm of quantized rhythm, attack patterns, and bar sequences, but uses sounds stored on hard disks, rather than ROM memory, greatly expanding the potential sonic vocabulary of drum machines. In addition, built-in independent DSP and spatial paths provide the potential for multiple sonic permutations of each individual source sample.

 

á     eriCMIX - a set of objective-C unit generators for Paul Lansky's acoustic compiler Cmix.

 

á     NetMix Audio - a system for spatially distributing sound with spectral separation and independent realtime control of time/frequency parameters for multiple oscillator banks. (Collaboration with Hisakazu Igarashii of IAMAS.)

 

á     FFTease 1.0 - a set of externals (linked objects) for Max/MSP which provide real-time capabilities for many different spectral processing methods. (Collaboration with Christopher Penrose of Keio University.)

 

á     Mushroom - an iterative sound-processing system for generating families of spectrally related sounds, in generational layers with progressive reduction of features from the original source sound.
