[linux-audio-user] [ANN] Introducing TAPESTREA: a new system/paradigm for sound design

Dear linux audio users,

(sorry for the cross-posting)

tapestrea-0.1 (tap tap) is now released, for
Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.

    http://taps.cs.princeton.edu/

This is the very first release of TAPESTREA, a new
paradigm and system for sound design (new research,
led by Ananya Misra, with Perry Cook, Ge Wang, and others
at the Princeton Sound Lab).

In addition to the release, one can find documentation,
papers, audio examples, and a video delineating the
ideas and features of Taps at the URL above. The video
is about 5 minutes in duration and explains the system clearly.

TAPESTREA leverages sinusoidal analysis, wavelet-tree
learning, transient analysis, and a new real-time
graphical interface to perform analysis,
transformation, and synthesis of sounds through a
system of "sound templates". In addition, one can
write scripts (in ChucK) to provide precise control
over various parts of the system, and to script
entire compositions combining taps with "traditional"
audio synthesis techniques.

We invite you to take a look, fire up the system, and
let us know of any questions and suggestions. This is
the first release, and we still working out some platform
and build issues - please let us know if something seems
fishy or just plain doesn't work/compile.

There is also a taps mailing list for everyone interested in
keeping up with the use and development of the system.
Join us!!!

Thanks!!!

Best,
Ananya, Perry, Ge!
