I`d like to create a patch that generates a whispering-like feedback to audio input. Whispering meaning : having somebody talking into a microphone and a patch that transforms it into a whisper.

Anybody any ideas on this?

That is a requirement that is simple to describe, but extraordinarily difficult to accomplish. A whisper contains radically different harmonics to the spoken word.

I don't know of any way to do this, but you could experiment with vocoding a sample of an exhalation, combined with some EQ.

I would be surprised if you get a result that you are happy with though, using any technology at all (not just Max.)

Try taking the original speech and using it as an

amplitude envelope to gate a white noise signal. Then mix in a

highpass filtered version of the speech into the gated white noise.

If that sounds good, then try using tuned white noise that matches

i guess splitting the audio into impulses and resonants will

try programs like SPEAR, or, if you have a PPC mac, MARCOHACK

(runs in classic),. thy do this kind of thing.

i often use spear to "split" audio that way into 2 parts, in order

to blend or porcess the two files elsewhere.

Thanks all! I'll give it a try and post the results...
