Download Phase Vocoder Applications In Grm Tools Environment This paper focuses on four real time audio processes based on the phase-vocoder, or more generally on analysis/synthesis algorithms by Fourier transformation. These effects are available as VST (Steinberg) or RTAS (Digidesign) plugins. Constraints dependent on an exclusive real-time use will be exposed as well as the related issues on algorithmics and user interface.
Download Soundspotter - A Prototype System for Content-based Audio Retrieval We present the audio retrieval system “Soundspotter,” which allows the user to select a specific passage within an audio file and retrieve perceptually similar passages. The system extracts framebased features from the sound signal and performs pattern matching on the resulting sequences of feature vectors. Finally, an adjustable number of best matches is returned, ranked by their similarity to the reference passage. Soundspotter comprises several alternative retrieval algorithms, including dynamic time warping and trajectory matching based on a self-organizing map. We explain the algorithms and report initial results of a comparative evaluation.
