Wow, guess that settles it. Thanks all for the advice. I'll let you all
know when the prototypes are rendered.

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....
