Recently I completed my live performance tool Instant Decomposer. It is done in Pure Data, some new externals were specially written for the project. An introduction video clip is on

The project is documented on http://www.katjaas.nl/instantdecomposer/instantdecomposer.html

That's absolutely amazing! This sound like one of the coolest pathes I've seen sofar.

THat is bloody awesome, you must be very proud It is quite humbling seeing a patch constructed that is genuinely useful and invites you to experiment. Thanks for posting all the details

Just out of interest did you consider using [bonk~] for the onset detection?

Unreal. That is crazy good!

This is wonderful. I just feel like mentioning that I've been looking at your website and it's pretty awesome; I've been wanting to learn more about DSP and maybe this will get me started.

yeah - great stuff! - great documentation - thanks!

Awesome work man! I really like your website, very easy to understand.

i like!

Thanks for all your enthousiasm.

Boonier, [bonk~] is what I started with. It is a good attack detector, sensitive to a wide range of sound material. But I wanted to set cuepoints with more precision than could be done with [bonk~] and Pd's message system. That is where I developed [slicerec~] and [sliceplay~], the source code of which is on (the page bottom of):

If anyone of you is on OSX and want to try them, I can upload binaries. For other OS's I can not regularly compile, therefore don't have the most recent versions for them.

Katja

That is way too cool!

yes, please upload.

Katya, thanks for sharing. I learnt a bit more about creating externals too thanks to you. I compiled them and already having fun!

OSX binaries

Attached is a .zip with binaries slicerec~.pd_darwin, sliceplay~.pd_darwin for OSX and a patch slicerec~-help.pd.

The source is on http://www.katjaas.nl/beatdetection/beatdetection.html

If something about these objects is unclear, please let me know. And if you find an interesting way of using the objects, I would be happy if you want to share that.

Katja.

Youtube performance is great, congrats!
Great documentation on your site too, keep going!

nice work!

Hey Alberto, you are the one who wrote that very useful MinGW-for-Pd-externals tutorial! Indispensable tutorial for me when I compiled externals on a friend's windows system. Thank you for that.

Katja

Great to know that it was useful...

Thumbs up for instant decomposer!

Alberto

dear mad audio lady
don't listen to your dad
he has no clue at all
thou is now one of my audio heroes

i want one instant decomposer too!
but it seems that i'm to stupid to even find the files...

by the way there are some different image objects in extended

*** farout no doubt ***

great documentation also

Yeah, where are those Instant Decomposer files.....

I'm workingt to make at least bits and pieces available for everyone to use, but it's a complicated project. Some externals, amongst which slicerec~ and sliceplay~, were written for I.D. because the process is not precise enough otherwise, or too CPU-intensive. They all run fine on OSX 10.5. But last weekend when building the classes with latest Kubuntu on a friend's computer, we found (some of) the objects to fail. So next time is for debug and test, and for windows builds.

Part of the set will be [soundtouch~] realtime pitch shifter with Olli Parviainen's SoundTouch library built in.

When build&test is done I will do a couple of demo patches in Instant Decomposer style and upload things to appropriate places on this forum. You know what, if there's some new I.D. stuff to share I will leave a message here.

Katja.

BTW I ran Instant Decomposer on a three year old Asus EEE netbook with Ubuntu. Ok it did 100% CPU load but it was fully functional. Now working on Mini Decomposer... for imaginary touchscreen tablet, yippie

yeay!
sounds great and really worth the wait

BTW, attached you can find the compiled .dll for windows in a zip file.
Seems to work ok with the help patch.
