CataRT-MuBu

CataRT-MuBu is a collection of Max patches for corpus-based concatenative synthesis, audio mosaicing, descriptor analysis, transcription, and composition.

CataRT is a technology devoted to structuring sound grains obtained from large sound data bases of any kind according to sound characteristics automatically analyzed and chosen by the user. Thus, sound databases and archives may be explored quickly and intuitively for use in the areas of musical composition, sound design, live performance and improvisation.

Requirements

• Max (at least version 7)
• Mubu package installed from Max package manager, or Forum
• Optional external controller packages for some main patches: sensel, blocks packages from Max package manager (if you don't use these controllers you can ignore the missing externals)
