SpectMorph

SpectMorph is an open source software written in C++ that allows musicians to easily analyze samples of musical instruments.

SpectMorph can also be used to build hybrid sounds (for example a sound between a flute and a trumpet) or smooth transitions (for example a sound that starts as a flute and then gradually changes to a trumpet).

What is new in this release:

• Implemented user defined morphing using a MorphPlan consisting of operators:
• graphical representation of the operators
• graphical editing of the MorphPlan
• implement actual morphing (in per-operator per-voice module object)
• added MorphPlanSynth/MorphPlanVoice, which allow running MorphPlan's easily
• added LPC (linear prediction) during encoding, and LPC/LSF based morphing
• BEAST plugin:
• added GUI required for editing a MorphPlan
• support four output channels, as well as twc control inputs
• delay compensation plugin (to compensate SpectMorph delay)
• JACK client:
• support GUI MorphPlan editing
• Added sminspector (graphical tool for displaying SpectMorph instruments):
• zoomable time/frequency view
• configurable (FFT/CWT/LPC) time/frequency view transform parameters
• spectrum, sample, LPC visualization
• graphical loop point editing
• allow storing changes in .smset files (for editing loop points)
• play support via JACK
• Improved smtool (old name: smextract); its now installed by default:
• lots of new commands (like "total-noise", "auto-volume", ...)
• support .smset as input (in addition to .sm); command is executed on all .sm files in the .smset
• Added shared libraries for gui and jack code
• New integrated memory leak debugger (to find missing delete's)
• Support ping-pong loops
• Doxygen API docs updates
• Migrated man pages from Doxer to testbit.eu wiki (and use wikihtml2man.py)
• Performance improvements
