\section{Concatenator}
|
||||
The concatenator project was designed as a Python framework and
|
||||
command-line tool for easy access to CS. The project aimed to provide an
|
||||
open source set of tools that would allow composers to generate a variety
|
||||
of CS driven realisations. In addition, the project aimed to provide an
|
||||
intuitive API that Python programmers could use as fundamental building
|
||||
blocks to build further concatenative synthesis applications on.

Why Python?

instrument resynthesis onto a pre-existing source sound, rather than from scratch onto things like midi notes.
|
||||
Offline processing to allow for large databases to be used - disadvantage: loss of feedback between performer and system, as described in PA's paper.
|
||||
advantage: Real-time approach results in reduced continuity of grains
