Basic review of Audiosculpt

Preferences --- set new home folder and sound folder for audiosculpt outside of application folder

FFT analysis window size
larger the window size the better the frequency analysis and the poorer the temporal resolution

FFT analysis, window size, hop size
added "markers" to a sound file "generate markers"

Marker Analysis Parameters

Transient Detection Settings
Threshold (trial and error, but lower the number the greater the sensitivity i.e. more markers)

markers can be added and deleted

In audiosculpt one marker appears but there are two markers (one invisible) onset outset...

use SDIFConverter to get text file of start times or end times of export makers.sdif

All data is exported as SDIF
go to Audiosculpt/SDIF Utilities for converting SDIF files to text files
SDIFToText (drag and drop file on top of this) -- this gives complete view of SDIF contents (not friendly)
SDIFConverter (independent application double-click) choose what you want to see

Audiosculpt/ChordSequence

Open Music

open new patch
File/new patch

click in space while holding "apple" key

type in --> sdiffile
click on object to highlight (dark boarder
keystroke -- v (opens window to locate sdif file)

load soundfile.mrk.sdif (generated from the audiosculpt marker tool)

letter b to lock sdiffile

LOAD LIBRARY

touch bottom part of suitcase and double click

click in space while holding "apple" key
--> sdifinfo

evaluate sdinfo to see contents of SDIF file

keystroke -- d (opens short text file documentation)

click in space while holding "apple" key
--> get-times

go to functions/user libraries/repmus/audiosculpt

shift click on input buttons of object to add boxes

get-times needs sdiff information stream number and data type

FIRST INLET == OUTPUT OF SDIFFILE

SECOND INLET == STREAM NUMBER 0

THIRD INLET == FRAME SIGNATURE == "1MRK"

FOURTH INLET == 1BEG (to take the beginning of each marker as Audiosculpt markers have start and end points)

double click in bottom part of suitcase (not top of suitcase!)
repmus library is installed

go to OM and

first inlet == analysis from SDIFFILE
second inlet and third inlet == amplitudes as midi velocities
fourth --delta == integer, onset time falling with the window of 1/100 of value in milleseconds
mmin == minimum pitch midi cents
mmax == maximum pitch in midi cents
microtonal approximation in half-steps (2), quarter-tones (4), eighth tones (8)
npoly == number of polyphonic voices
v == evaluate (any object)
