MASS is Music and Audio in Sample Sequences

Project description

This project delivers routines for music oriented sound synthesis in a sample based system. MASS can be though of as a sample level DAW system, in which the objects manipulated are in fact the array of samples describing the sound wave that will reach a listener ear.

All parameters are updated in a sample by sample rate and calculations are made in 64 bit floating point. All operations are described by equations that directly relates audio samples to musical aspects. Detailed descriptions can be found in:

Usage example

Download messages from one GMANE list:

import mass as m

# sine, triangle, square and sawtooth
# are attributes of the bt object:
bt=m.BasicTables()

# for frequency to midi and decibels to amplitude relations:
co=m.BasicConverter()
# try co.db2Amp .amp2Db .hz2Midi .midi2Hz

sy=m.Synth()

note=sy.render()
ut=m.Utils()
ut.write(note) # saved to fooname.wav

melody=n.hstack([sy.render(f,.2) for f in
                  co.p2f(220,[0,7,7,5,6,7,0,4,7,0])])
sy.vib_depth=3.
sy.vib_freq=3.
sy.tab=bt.saw
section2=n.hstack([sy.render(freq,dur) for freq,dur in
                    zip(co.p2f(110,[0,7,7,5,6,7,0,4,7,0]),
                    [.2,.4,.2,.2,.8,.2,.4,.2,.4])])

song=n.hstack((melody,section2))

ut.write(song,"song.wav")

# A core purpose of the toolbox is to serve other
# toolboxes on the development sonic representations
# E.g. m.pieces.FourHubsDance is used by gmane toolbox
# to make sonified animations:
# https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxDiwzAUPeU
# sonicLine1 and sonicLine2 attributes are
# most basic sonic "templates" used by:
# https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gmane to make social music

# more in the way. Take a look at the above literature.
# Enjoy!
