MAGE-PHTS

pHTS is an open-source per­for­ma­tive speech syn­the­sis sys­tem built upon the HMM-based speech syn­the­sis toolkit, HTS.
MAGE is a thread-safe and engine-inde­pen­dent layer of pHTS, that can be used in reac­tive speech syn­the­sis designs, (i.e. a design that can be often inter­rupted and can respond in real-time to requests).
Feel free to down­load it!

Device­Cy­cle

  Device­Cy­cle v0.1 (2.3 MiB, 271 hits)

Device­Cy­cle is a tool­box for Pure­Data aim­ing at facil­i­tat­ing the rapid pro­to­typ­ing of ges­tural inter­faces using off-the-shelf devices (jog wheels, 3D mice, force-feedback 3D mice, mul­ti­touch track­pads…).
The first ver­sion of this tool­box was devel­oped by Chris­t­ian Fris­son for numediart’s Mul­ti­Me­di­a­Cy­cle project. While it is designed to be cross-platform, it has so far been tested on OSX Leop­ard only. Please send us your feedback!

Minim

  Minim 2.1.0b (29.8 MiB, 199 hits)

We are pleased to announce the arrival of  Minim_2.1.0_BETA.
This is a beta build of the next release of Minim, which con­tains the new UGen frame­work devel­oped by Damien Di Fede, Ander­son Mills, and Nico­las Brix. There are still a few loose ends to clean up, pri­mar­ily doc­u­men­ta­tion related, but we expect to have a com­plete release com­pleted by the end of June. Until then, feel free to give this build a try and see how the new real-time syn­the­sis capa­bil­i­ties work.
At this time, all of the doc­u­men­ta­tion is in the form of Javadocs, which are included with the down­load. We hope that you find the docs for the UGen frame­work clear enough to get started. If not, there are also quite a few new exam­ples included in the down­load that demon­strate how to use many of the UGens and how to pro­gram­mat­i­cally sequence sound.

To install this release, you will sim­ply unzip the archive into a folder named libraries in your sketch folder. This folder may already exist if you’ve installed other libraries not included with the Pro­cess­ing down­load; cre­ate the folder if it doesn’t exist. By installing this release in your sketchbook’s libraries folder, you will make Pro­cess­ing use this release instead of the release included with Pro­cess­ing. All of your exist­ing sketches should still work. If you find one that doesn’t, please let us know.
You can also check at http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim for new updates and releases.
