Software

Orchidea

A framework for static and dynamic computer-assisted orchestration: given a recorded sound, it searches a database of instrumental samples to reconstruct that sound with a real orchestra. The new generation of the Orchid* software originally created in IRCAM's Music Representation team, developed jointly by IRCAM, HEM Genève and UC Berkeley. Standalone application, Max package and command-line tools.

Wavelet scattering transforms in Python, for large-scale numerical experiments in signal processing and machine learning. Scattering transforms are translation-invariant representations implemented as convolutional networks with fixed wavelet filters.

Legacy

Older tools, mostly for Windows, kept online for reference. They are unsupported.

Spectral design

• SonicPad — high-quality sound transformations in time and frequency domains, as command-line utilities or through a GUI; encapsulates Sparkle, CombSyn, CoolVerb, Pconv and an offline Nebula. Screenshot · Site
• Nebula — real-time granular synthesis for iPad (glissons, grainlets, morphing between prototypal waveforms, preset interpolation by gesture, motion control). Screenshot 1 · Screenshot 2. An older, unrelated Windows version: screenshot · installer
• Crossing — computer-assisted composition with additive synthesis: spectral states and interpolations (series, FM-like tones, random spectra), rendered to audio. Guide by F. Paolinelli (Italian) · Screenshot · Installer (Windows)
• pureControl — real-time control environment with its own language (IdiL), building GUIs whose controls send socket messages to external synthesizers. Screenshot · Installer v1.3 (Windows)
• Sinewarp — additive synthesis with up to 512 oscillators under vectorial control. Screenshot

Voice processing

• ReVoice — real-time voice synthesis with pitch modification preserving formant structure; harmonisation; synchronous granular synthesis and real-time pitch detection. Screenshot · Installer (Windows)

Computer-assisted composition

• OpenMosaic — analysis of pc-set properties (Z-relations etc.) and generation of mosaics (trichordal generators, generated hexachords). Installer (Windows)

Csound

• MidiLab — MIDI control surface with vectorial control, usable as a real-time controller for Csound. Screenshot · Installer v2 (Windows)
• Clusters — rhythmic patterns from a matrix, a MIDI-based granular synthesis for Csound. Screenshot · Installer (Windows)
• Series — mathematical series and spectral interpolations rendered with Csound. Installer (Windows)
• Evolve — a language for Csound scores: clusters of notes from rhythmic patterns (command line; more on request).

Others

• PerfectTune — a tuner for stringed instruments with a multi-string layout, instrument-specific algorithms, a wide range of tunings and smart calibration.
• Cast — a scriptable assistant for programmers: scheduling, backups, shortcuts, code templates, process lists. Screenshot · Installer (Windows)
• MediaCarve — command-line recovery of media files (avi, wav, rmi, pal, ani, bmp, png, aiff, mp3, jpg) from working or broken storage, disregarding the file system. Download v1.0 (macOS)
