hello list,
(sorry for cross-postings)
juan pampin has just announced the new "official" release of ATS.
ATS is a spectral modeling system based on a sinusoidal plus critical-band
noise decomposition. Psychoacoustic processing informs the system's
sinusoidal tracking and noise modeling algorithms.
I'm doing a project and experimented with ATSH. It didn't do exactly what I
was looking for but what I was looking for is kind of esoteric so I don't
blame the program. Perhaps you can point me in some kind of direction or at
least clarify some things since I feel that ATS probably comes the closest to
what I'm looking for.
I'd like to extract spectral information from a short sound recording and
write it to a text file in the form of bin -> value for each frame. This data
will eventually make it's way into a Maya plugin to be used as a function for
a 3D object. I can't seem to find a program that will spit out this kind of
FFT data as just a text file. Csound's pvanal gets real close but the format
is binary.
Anyway, the visualizations from ATSH looked the closest to what I'm looking
for so I thought I'd ask for some advice.
OpenDX
www.opendx.org My choice... You don't have to limit what you visualize
with it. This thing is just plain amazing. Matlab {amongst others {Scilab} can
do file conversions for you {take a look at h5 for conversions... maybe Cactus
if you really decide to get into it...}
Mayavi {If you're into Python...}
Grass {I've not used it in years... It was excellent in the late '9os though
and it looks like it's gotten "popular".}
{maybe vxl... It's a language for "computer vision" ....I'm just setting
it
up. I'm not quite sure what functionality it might add to your system {s}.
...It looks as though it's got potential though. There *is* a lot of stuff
here:
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/cil/ftp/html/vision.html {One of
my favorite web pages. :}} Don't blame me if you download it and it's useless.
It *seems* really similar to:
VTK/ITK

{Do take a look at what they're doing with some of their projects.}
Oh... thanks for the hint about the above... I was at the page the other
night and decided I didn't have time to mess with it... after reading a bit
more it looks as though it could be excellent though....
