SMS Composer and SMS Conductor: Applications for Spectral Modeling Synthesis Composition and Performance
E. Resina · 1998
SMS Composer and SMS Conductor are Windows applications designed to take musical advantage of both the flexibility and potential of SMS sound transformations and its current capability for real-time synthesis. SMS Composer offers a powerful compositional environment for SMS score generation, editing and synthesis. SMS Conductor is a real-time SMS controller, mainly focused on the problem of tracking and translating conductors' queues into time-stretch synthesis fluctuations. 1 Introduction Spectral Modeling Synthesis (SMS) [1], provides a musically attractive and powerful tools for sound transformation. The increasing speed of CPUs makes it possible, and highly appealing, to apply this system to new and more complex musical situations than to what it could be attempted some time ago. Through 1998, some applications designed to control and manipulate the synthesis parameters of SMS analysis files have been developed at the Audiovisual Institute of the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelo...
