Quite new to Max; what I'm looking for is some kind of graph, like a spectroscope that is able to divide outputs of sound colour/timbre.

I thought at first some kind of voice recognition might do; I've been looking at a few posts here on the forum but can't seem to find anything befitting. Can anyone recommend anything?

audio-colour-recognition

did you look into the msp help?: spectroscope~.maxhelp

you can work with that maybe, but I guess there are a lot of other examples in the forum.

A nice one, maybe not what you are looking for though, is jitter-recepies • book 1, #5

when i understand you right you want to be able to sort files or route

incoming audio according to the spectrum they contain.

there are some nice thirdy party objects such as tristans [analyzer~] which

you´d use the output of this object or any other analysis setup to simply

control a a [gate~ 2] in order to route audio.

if you one day think this isnt enough then it is time to dive into (simple)

FFT and/or build your own analysis stuff using filter objects and dynamics.

@Giorgio, I did look at the help, yes, but to no avail.

I seen 'timbre' analysis is quite technical -

 I will have a go down this route; it seems very interesting - once I get my head around it ! :)

I will also have a look at the help you recommend, thank you

@Roman, I want Max to be able to detect timbre/colour of sound. The link I gave Giogio -

 - seems to go into it quite in depth, which is what (I think) I'm looking for...

But I will no doubt take a look at what you recommend =))
