SoundStroll is a kind of 3D audio sequencer. It is a tool for placing sounds in a virtual landscape (a very bare landscape) constructed with jitter OpenGL, and triggering them and spatializing them around you as you take a stroll in this virtual sound world.

SoundStroll exists as a MaxMSP project, which is to say a set of MaxMSP patches ; as such it should be compatible with Windows and Mac OSX (made with Max 6.1.9 on OSX 10.6.8)

Any kind of feedback will be appreciated. A possible lot of things might be half broken or badly programmed, but i want to believe it is usable by someone else than me at this point ! An attempt at tutorial is included, so fear not to enter this oddity.


A demo of SoundStroll.
(sound recorded in binaural stereo, you will need earphones to hear the binaural effect)

SoundStroll is a tool for placing sounds in an open 3D virtual landscape and triggering them as you take a stroll through your soundscape.

SoundStroll exists as a MaxMSP project, which is to say a set of MaxMSP patches ; as such it should be compatible with Windows and Mac OSX (made with Max 6.1.9 on OSX 10.6.8). It is intended to be free and open source (though one still needs to possess a MaxMSP 6 licence to modify the sources) under the terms of CreativeCommons Attribution-Non Commercial licence (cc by nc).
The shown example also uses the spatialisation tools from IRCAM, which are non-free nor open source. However, it is possible to easily adapt the system to any other spatialisation toolset available in MaxMSP ; and provided with the current distribution is a fully functionnal binaural engine using the free HOA library (which must be installed separately).

(You might notice occasional hiccups ; my video recording skills and setup are not that good.)

8 In/8 Out Audio Spatialization Matrix with graphical location controls and real-time gesture recording/playback and manipulation. (ca. 1999) A vastly improved spatializer interface is included with the examples that ship with Jitter if you want to take a look at that...

This Max 6 patch uses two instances of the [nodes] object to output weighted values/volumes for multiple input sources ("points") as they are spatially related to output sources/channels ("zones").

Both the points and zones can be positioned manually, or automatically distributed evenly.

For each "point", the patch outputs a list of values corresponding to the number of "zones" currently in use.

Nothing groundbreaking here, but I thought others might find it helpful, especially for multichannel work and spatialization. Enjoy!

Max is used both as a prototyping tool for the various features of Jamoma c++ frameworks and for their implementation as a rich set of externals and abstractions.

This is part of a series of sketches exploring the potential to bridge the gap between sound visualization and musical instrument. With multi-touch interaction it is possible to manipulate multiple characteristics of a sound—visually, and simultaneously. This shift has the potential of bringing the experience of synthesizer as music instrument to a whole new place. This approach allows the performer to have a more tactile and immediate experience of the synthesizer and also creates a visual reference for the audience.

In the performance of electronic music it is fairly common that the audience is alienated from the process and performance of the musician. This project hopes to create a common visual language and experience for the electronic musician and the audience by enhancing the perception of sound and music on both sides.

mmt.tools is a set of  abstractions for Max.  These panners use a constant power formula from Roads (1996) COMPUTER MUSIC TUTORIAL, p. 460, can be helpful for spatialization.

The CICM is pleased to announce this new release of the HOA Library.

The HOA library allows musicians and composers to synthesize, transform and render sound fields (in 2d and 3d) in a creative and artistic way. It aims facilitating the understanding and the appropriation of key concepts of Ambisonics. It offers original processings like diffuse sound field synthesis, perspective distortion or spatial filtering and graphical user interfaces. The library is available for Pure Data and Max.

This new release includes some updates and new features like new binaural rendering, new tutorials, exchanger for Ambisonics data format, optimizations, etc.

Authors : Pierre Guillot, Eliott Paris, Julien Colafrancesco.

The HOA library is free, open-source and made available by the CICM, the centre of research on musical composition and computer science of the University Paris 8.
The project has been developed as a part of the LABEX Arts H2H at the MSH Paris-Nord and the plate-forme Arts-Sciences-Technologies.

This library is under the terms of the GNU Public License.
If you want to avoid the restrictions of the GPL and use HoaLibrary for a closed-source product, please contact us.

A max patch which uses video (or static images) to spatialise audio in 3 dimensions and affect parameters of granular synthesis, filters and volume. I made this in 2011 for my masters at the Sonic arts Research Centre in Belfast. It uses RGB, alpha, HSL etc outputs from Jitter to control the spatialisation (using ICSTs ambisonic panners) and maps colour to frequency , light/dark to volume etc etc. In a previous patch if a red pixel is in the top right of the screen a matrix will pan the sound there in a horizontal surround sound field. In this patch the concept is taken to an entire 3d audio space. It was originally used at the Sonic Lab at the sonic arts research centre in Belfast which is a full 3d system with speakers under , above and all around the listener. Just as a moving image exhibits cohesion as it changes through time - so does the spatialisation and other parameters when controlled by the same video - there is a noticeable correlation. The sounds you hear here are not matched to the video as as its hard to render 48 channels into stereo.

Authors: Matthew Ritchie with Aranda/Lasch and Arup AGUThe Morning Line is a groundbreaking experimental project by Matthew Ritchie designed with architects ArandaLasch and Arup AGU, commissioned by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary. The spatialisation, exhibition control and multi-spatial sound authoring system was designed and implemented using Max by the Music Research Centre Team at the University of York, UK. The Morning Line is a platform for new spatial works that will be commissioned by tba21 and will it will be touring internationally in 2010/11
