MuBu

From IMTR

The MuBu multi-buffer is a multi-track container for sound description and motion capture data. We are currently developing a set of Max/MSP externals for content based real-time interactive audio processing around the MuBu container.

Beta-Testing

A set of Max/MSP externals has been released as a beta version.

The current beta-release contains the following externals with simple help/example patches:

  • mubu ... the multi-buffer container (doc)
  • imubu ... the container with graphical user interface (doc)
  • mubu.track ... optimized access to a track (doc)
  • mubu.knn ... KNN unit selection using a kD-Tree (doc)
  • mubu.concat~ ... concatenative synthesis (doc)
  • mubu.granular~ ... granular synthesis (doc)
