spectmorph-0.0.3 has been released. The main improvement is that the piano samples sound a lot better now, because the attack is modelled better by the SpectMorph model. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.0.3: ---------------------------------------- * added encoder algorithm to find attack envelope, this makes piano sound much more realistic * introduced smwavset tool, which allows managing instruments consisting of many samples - encoding/decoding a set of samples - delta operation for comparing errors of sets of samples * smextract can now provide an overview of how many bytes in an .sm file can be attributed to which fields * documentation updates * refactoring, cleanups What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments. This should allow constructing hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute. Also interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be interesting. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 SpectMorph currently is in the early stages of development, which means that it is not yet ready to be used by end users.
