About
Inspired by the work of Zack Settel & Cort Lippe (1994), Jean-François Charles (2008), and the GRM Spectral Transform and Evolution suites of audio processors, I have adapted the patches of Jean-François Charles (2011) into a set of FFT processing tools using Cycling 74’s Max environment, with Jitter matrices storing and processing the FFT. The idea was to explore the notion of “timbre hacking”.
NES-Spectrale-Beta-01 has been created for people who want to:
1. Open a sound file, or use live audio input, or both.
2. Record a portion of it in the frequency domain (FFT).
3. Process it in some way – in the frequency domain.
4. Render the result as audio, in the time domain.
5. Record the result.
Each NES-Spectrale tool is in its own folder. The NES-Spectrale suite is as follows:
NES-Interpolate-periodic: freezes two slices of sound and interpolates between their frequency content over the set interpolation period
NES-Multi-FX-05: lets you select one of five jitter effects to apply to the FFT matrix
NES-Playtwo: has two independent play heads that can be adjusted to play across different frequency bands at different rates
NES-Playfour: has four independent play heads that can be adjusted to play across different frequency bands at different rates
NES-Transform-Mx: uses the jit.mxform2d object, which performs a 2-dimensional matrix transform on an input matrix. It can be used to perform scaling, rotation, skewing, and perspective operations on the FFT matrix.
