Design and Development: Sound Analysis & Synthesis Team<br />

TS is a standalone software application for sound<br />

transformation and time stretching that uses SuperVP and<br />

elements of the AudioSculpt 3 interface.<br />

The Snail-Absolute Tuning is a sound frequency analyzer that<br />

uses an inventive representation with chromatic alignment.<br />

Compared to standard analyzers, this representation makes<br />

it possible to easily visualize active zones with light (like on<br />

a spectrogram) and to organize frequencies by note on a<br />

tempered scale, in tune with a diapason.<br />

Applications<br />

Composition, sound design, post-production, teaching<br />

Main Features<br />

• Visualization – display of the sonogram, waveform, and<br />

spectrum. Interactive zoom from the temporal signal to<br />

sample, linear and logarithmic sonogram. FFT, LPC, and<br />

True Envelope analysis<br />

• Compression/Expansion – modification of the length of a<br />

sound without changing its pitch or timbre and preserving<br />

the quality of the attacks and transitions. Presets for<br />

different transposition modes with the possibility of<br />

adjusting the max FO and spectral envelope<br />

• Remix – remix the transient, sinus, or noise components<br />

of the sound signal<br />

• Control – audio playback with standard controls. Results<br />

can be recorded in real-time or offline by modifying the<br />

parameters. Possibility of piloting and automation via a<br />

MIDI controller<br />

Platform<br />

Macintosh on MacOSX (10.5 or higher). Compatible with<br />

AIFF/AIFC, WAV, and other formats via the libsndfile library<br />

Applications<br />

Musical visualization of a sound signal, education, tuning<br />

Main Features<br />

• Visualization – display of The Snail-Absolute Tuning’s<br />

chromatic abacus simplified for a musical image of sound<br />

• Interface – configurable analysis engine. Settings for<br />

different modes of visualization: phase, spectrum, or snail<br />

(tuner). Settings for the frequency region visible in MIDI<br />

notes. Diapason tuning<br />

Platform<br />

Macintosh on MacOSX (10.6 or higher), iOS (iPad).<br />

Compatible with all audio files (all formats supported by the<br />

native MacOSX library) or signal input via the audio input of<br />

the equipment used<br />
