REplay PLAYer is a audio computer program based on the paradigms of granular synthesis. The program de-constructs a given sound file and re-composes it by using realtime composition algorithms - a field of research that has been investigated by Karlheinz Essl since the mid 1980ies. With this project, the author is following once again his vision of a music "that is composed, as if from itself (auto-poetic), at the moment of its sounding." REplay PLAYer can be used as a tool to generate an infinite and every-changing sonic stream from a single sound file for artistical, compositional or mere recreational purposes. It can also be regarded as a computer based instrument for live performances, as an interactive sound installation or a generator for ambient music. What's New: Version 3.0.2: runs natively under MacOS X loads AIFF, WAV and MP3 supports external audio interfaces MIDI control added smoothing factor added (in Special/mode) time grid included in waveform display several internal improvements and bug fixes correcting a bug which could truncate a loaded soundfile  |  |
