StochGran on OSX
Mara Helmuth · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2002
StochGran, the Cmix-based granular synthesis composition application, has been ported to MacIntosh OSX Cocoa with OpenGL graphics and RTCmix 3.1.0 synthesis. A redesigned interface is easier to use, with various enhancements to streamline the composer’s actions to produce sound. Graphical representation of the probability distributions as well, as the previously implemented shape of change curves, now allows graphical editing of the extreme distributions. Graphical control of algorithmic compositional parameters allows the composer to specify preferred parameters, yet keep enough randomness in the process to allow unexpected and interesting results. The demonstration will include sounds and piece excerpts by UC-CCM students and myself.
