Auracle: A Voice-Controlled, Networked Sound Instrument

Auracle is a voice-controlled, networked sound instrument which enables users to control a synthesized instrument with their voice and to interact with each other in real time over the Internet. This paper describes the architecture of the system in detail, including the multi-level analysis of vocal input, the communication of that analysis data across the network, and the mapping of that data onto a software synthesizer.
