Please note that all free software contributed to and distributed
by CDP
remains the responsibility of the respective authors.
Soundshaper Demo Version- You can have a look at how this graphic user interface for the
CDP programs is organised by downloading this demo/shareware
version. It has no processing functionality unless the CDP
programs are also present. You can get this from author
Robert Fraser's website:
http://www.ensemble-software.co.uk. At the time of writing, the
current version is 1.64. NB. This version temporarily disables the internal
window and only uses 'Run via Console'. Also see our
information page for Soundshaper.
Sound Loom- This graphic user interface for the CDP programs is written by
Trevor Wishart. It also has no functionality without the CDP
programs. At the time of writing, the current version is 9.2b.
A fully working version is available free from his website:
http://www.trevorwishart.co.uk. Sound Loom is written
in TCL/TK, which can be freely downloaded from
http://www.dev.scriptics.com/software/tcltk/.
(As of 24 August 2006, this site is 'under reconstruction').
Also see our information page for
Sound Loom.
GrainMill Demo Version- A demo version of this powerful way to granulate sounds can be
downloaded from
http://people.bath.ac.uk/~masrwd/grndemo.zip". Also see our
information page for GrainMill.
NB - GrainMill is PC-only. The demo version is for 16-bit
soundfiles.
Multi-Channel Toolkit- This represents Richard Dobson's important research into
multi-channel facilities (greater than 2 channels) needed for
various types of 'surround' sound. These facilities are being
gradually built into the main CDP System. For the time being,
these command line tools can be downloaded from Richard's
website:
http://people.bath.ac.uk/~masrwd/mctools.html
MAC OSX version:
http://people.bath.ac.uk/~masrwd/mctools.osx.tgz
Pvstream- This prototype CDP plug-in is written by Richard Dobson, and
the Direct-X version can be downloaded from his website:
http://people.bath.ac.uk/~masrwd/pvstream_dx.zip. Reference is
also made in the /~masrwd/ section of Richard's work on an extended pvoc
format: 'pvocex', which is part of the background work for these
plugins.
Prototype CDP VST plugin- Richard's ongoing work towards CDP plugins can be seen via this
download:
http://people.bath.ac.uk/~masrwd/pvplugswin.zip.
AL-ERWIN Granulation & Algorithmic Package- Written by Rajmil Fischman with the assistance of an Arts and
Humanities Research Board (AHRB) grant, this is a highly featured software
combo with a sophisticated graphic user interface, including both
granular synthesis and algorithmic mixing. A fully working version can be
downloaded from
http://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/mu/staff/rajmilfischmanalsoftware01.htm
. Also see our information page
about this software. Please note that this software is still supplied with CDP
Systems, as well as via the above link to Rajmil's website page.
Sndan- This Richard Dobson PC port of James Beauchamp's 'sound analysis' software
was funded by the Sonic Arts Network. This PC version is available from
a research section of John Fitch's website ('national open studio for
Development & Reserach in Electro-acoustic Media'):
http://dream.cs.bath.ac.uk/. Follow the link to 'Software for
composers'.
The method of analysis is particularly well-suited to pitched sounds,
and the software has a number of impressive display modes.
Csound- One of the world's leading software synthesis 'engines', Csound
is coming of age with a rapid expansion of its internal facilities
(some from CDP!) and the advent of new graphic environments. See
Dennis Miller's comprehensive article on in Electronic
Musician: Csound: It's Not Just for Techies Anymore
(Vol 18, No. 8, July 2002).
- Also see the tutorial texts edited by Richard Boulanger; these are
listed on our Publications
page.
- Mention was made on our News Page of Steven Yi's Blue, a
well-designed graphic front end for Csound, with graphic orchestra
editor and time-line score assembler. See the
Csound Website
for more information.
- Csound can be downloaded from John Fitch's website:
http://dream.cs.bath.ac.uk/dreamware.html
- Other related software can be downloaded from this site:
- SAOLC - the reference implementation of the new language for the
Structured Audio component of MPEG-4.
- SFRONT - an implementation of SAOL developed at Berkeley which
creates a compilable file in C.
