UPISketch 2.1

Upisketch 2.1 has been released for OSX and Windows.

(http://centre-iannis-xenakis.org/upisketch)

It proposes a new way for generating events, based on cellular automata.

Here are some explainer videos:

UPISketch

UPISketch is an application that allows to freely draw the absolute pitch curves applied to existing sounds.
It has been possible thanks to a partnership between the Centre Iannis Xenakis, the European University of Cyprus and the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

But I hope it reflects some of the concerns above. It has some advantages upon similar softwares : 
- it can respect the drawn gesture with a good accuracy;
- the default use is based on the classical notation of pitch versus time, which makes it easy to have a global vision of what happens at a given time, and helps to have a feeling of the form;
- the sounds are not just played at different speeds, but rather resynthesized using original grains spaced by their analysed period.
We can use non-standard divisions of the octave, thanks to a configurable grid.

The current version is available for iOS devices.

PeGaSus First Draft

PeGaSuS is a Probabilistic Granular Synthesis Sequencer based on image reading. 
This is a first draft. It will be improved, by including its own real-time granular synthesis engine. 
(As for now, it is only used as a data generator, in OSC form). 
And another random image-based generator will be added, for the rhythm.

Comma

Since Comma will be reborn this year, thanks to a residency in the European University of Cyprus, I have just dig up a video showing the way the software, made with Max/MSP, looked like so far:

Images et sons de ProbaPainter

Quelques montages effectués à partir de la pièce "110110", qui date de 2012 et qui utilise ProbaPainter pour une lecture probabiliste des partitions dessinées.

N.B. : les sons produits peuvent être très différents de ceux qu'on peut entendre dans ces trois exemples.
