Very well said. I've come to similar conclusions working with the postfix syntax of Sporth. Is your language public at all?

by zebproj 7y ago
They are great as well! Especially Csound. That's where I started. In fact, Sporth uses a lot of DSP code adapted from Csound. From a language/syntax standpoint, you're still typing way more keystrokes with Csound to do equiv

I agree it would be a cool feature. Unfortunately, you'd have to basically rewrite everything in order to do it. I actually kind of did that. Soundpipe[0], Patchwerk[1], and Runt[2] used together builds something that syntactically res

+1 on this. the author also wrote an interactive tutorial here: https://audiomasher.org/learn this is based on the sporth cookbook, found here: http://paulbatchelor.github.io/proj/cook/

Thank you for sharing. It's always fun to see the ways BF can be used to make music. I really like the way the editor visually shows where you are. It would be really neat to get it controlling some synths in an Ableton live session or

Could you elaborate on what you mean by that?

I am a casual user of Fossil. I tried it out for some of my smaller projects. I can't say I am at the point where I "get" it, but I'd definitely recommend at least trying it out, as it provides a contrasting perspective

I've been using org and org-mode for literate programming for the past few months. org-mode provides a really nice interactive environment suitable for literate programming, but tangling code is hilariously slow, to the point where sev

Creator of Sporth here. AudioMasher is a really cool project! Projects like this make me really glad I open sourced Sporth. It's really cool to see what sorts of things people will use it for. In addition to learning the API and portin

In PD, the normal thin cables carry control-rate signals. The thicker cables are the audio-rate cables. Objects like "osc~" and "+~" produce audio-rate signals. Objects like "mtof" and "stripnote" pro

Ha. Your README was very honest at the time :) It was very encouraging for me to see some ports to C/C++ already in progress. At the time, it was definitely an overwhelming notion. That chunk of JS code looked impenetrable to me.

There aren't any real reasons I have for choosing C89 over C99. Both tend to be very portable, which is very nice if you aren't sure what operating system you are running on (if any, in many situations). I still write many program

Yes and no. Perceptually, you don't really need to model everything to get convincing speech sounds. Most of the realism actually comes from performance, and not the mathematical model. In a way, lips and mouth are accounted for here,

by zebproj 9y ago
Correct. WaveNet is a very brute force approach to speech synthesis.

by zebproj 9y ago
In theory, I think it's doable, but you'd have to build some sort of interface for it. Right now, all that exists are the low level foundations. The KL model does sing! Max Matthews and Bell Labs produced "Daisy Bell" us

Maybe, maybe not. LPC10 is a 8kHz speech codec optimized for low-bandwith signals. The Kelley-Lochbaum is a full-blown physical model of the tract. What you put into the filter is important. The LF glottal pulse model used here is a pretty

Do it! I think it's a rewarding exercise. Also, build a language. Mine is Sporth: http://pbat.ch/proj/sporth.html More recently, I've been building UIs on top of Sporth called Spigot: http://pbat.c

Not directly, no. IIRC, programs like Espeak and Festival use formant synthesis, which would require explicit formant values. Voc models the tract itself... the main parameters are diameters in the vocal tract (which implicitly produce vowe

I found your code last night, and it really freaked me out that there would be another person in the world who would want to make a C port of pink trombone and call it Voc as well. Voc is pretty much a line-for-line port of PT as well, but

by zebproj 9y ago
It seems like it would be, right? There are 44 tract-diameters you can modify to shape the vocal tract, and these can be used to generated specific vowel formants. I can imagine you can build a system using deep learning that can find the b

Hey yeah! I actually came across that when I first set out to make my project. I was going to actually fork off your project, but decided it would be cleaner/faster to do it off the original code since I wanted to write it in ANSI C.
