READ NFO: AudioMulch.Interactive.Music.Studio.v0.9b12-0xdBass (0607)
was unrightfully nuked.
AudioMulch.v0.9b12.Beta.Incl.Keymaker-ACME (0411) is an early beta
release. This one is v0.9b12 "final" (if you're looking for proof:
The ACME Keymaker won't work on this release).
AudioMulch is an interactive musician's environment for computers
running Microsoft Windows. Bringing together the popular with what
has up to now been considered experimental, AudioMulch merges the
worlds of mainstream electronica and electroacoustic sound composition
to create a fluid sonic environment only limited by the artist's
imagination.
While many of the processes featured within AudioMulch are not new to
computer music programs, it is the software's ability to carry out
these traditionally "studio" or "non-real-time" signal processing
techniques in real-time that emerges as its major asset.
With AudioMulch, music that has for so long been limited to the
pre & post-production practices of a studio can emerge in a new
LIVE and interactive context.
Through the essentially unlimited (only by the power of the computer)
combination of a network of synthesis and processing contraptions,
AudioMulch allows the user to extend their current audio processing
capabilities or create new music within their computer without
additional expensive software or hardware systems.
Contraptions
AudioMulch 'Contraptions' (signal processing elements) include:
Signal Generators:
Test tone / noise, drum machine, bassline synthesizer,
additive synthesizer, stored sample granulator, loop player,
Shepard / Risset tone generator, arpeggiator.
Effects:
Reverb, flanger, phaser, delay line granulator,
ring / amplitude modulation, stereo delays, dynamic stereo spatialiser,
waveshaper / distortion , digital grunge inducer, pulsar comb filter.
Filters:
Parametric EQ, resonant comb filter bank,
Shepard / Risset filter bank, granular filtering.
AudioMulch supports VST audio effects plugins, allowing over 50 free
plugins and many commercial plugins to be used within the
AudioMulch environment.
Capabilities
AudioMulch can be used to process and generate sound files or as a
live performance instrument.
AudioMulch allows any processing parameter to be controlled via MIDI.
AudioMulch can syncronise to an external MIDI clock source.
Up to 16 channels of real-time audio input and output can be
generated and / or processed by AudioMulch when used in conjunction
with a multichannel soundcard.
System Requirements
AudioMulch is a 32 bit Windows application requiring either
Windows95/98/Me or NT4.0/2000/XP (or later).
To hear audio in real-time (that is what the program is designed for)
you need a soundcard capable of delivering 16bit 44.1k stereo sound.
To process audio from the soundcard input you will need a full-duplex
soundcard i.e. one capable of simultaneous 16bit 44.1k stereo
recording and playback. To do anything useful a Pentium(R) class
machine is required. MMX Won't speed things up much but enhanced
floating-point (Pentium Pro or Pentium II, III, IV, AMD Athlon etc.)
will. The faster the machine, the more you can do in real-time.
