Hi All,

I need to do something that's probably not that difficult, but I haven't done a ton of MSP, so I'm not sure the best way to go about doing it. I need to grab a short chunk of live audio, then resythnesize it using some sort of additive synthesis. The point is to transition from the live sound down to just a few sine waves, over some variable period of time (and to have sines "die off" at different rates). I'd thought to use a phase vocoder "freeze" type of approach, then filter the frozen audio down to individual sines. If this seems like a reasonable approach, I could use a few tips on the filtering approach. I want to be able to specify the sines that remain, so I'd ideally want something like that could be controlled by a multislider, or similar interface. The other thought was to somehow produce an SDIF model, then use the CNMAT objects to do the synthesis. But I'm not sure how you get from a sampling of live audio (just a few frames would do) to an SDIF model...

Any other thoughts on better ways to accomplish what I'm after would also be appreciated.

thanks,

J.
