Structor & Findings

The group has got the ball going this morning with a brainstorm of what needs to be done, everyones quality's, issue's ahead and potental extras. Ideas like a website introducing the group members and photos of the assignments progression, mic directions and projection arrangments. After this everyone was slotted a subject to research such as connection between MAX MSP and Processing, sound analysis, shape templates and other sections nessercery.

All findings and progression will be posted on http://shoutbox.craigdennisonline.com/ for the time being untill a good quality website is up and running. Sound analysis is important to the project due to requiring information from a sound wave. Details on its pitch, volume and length are required to create a shape. Thus the MAX MSP object [info~] is just the tip of the ice burg, research shows, but will need to be more complex. Here are some findings.

Output
Most of the information reported by info~ is taken from the audio file most recently read into the associated buffer~. If this information is not present, only the sampling rate is sent out the left outlet. No output occurs for any item that’s missing from the sound file.
float Out left outlet: The sampling rate of the sample.
Out 3rd outlet: Sustain loop start, in milliseconds.
Out 4th outlet: Sustain loop end, in milliseconds.
Out 5th outlet: Release loop start, in milliseconds.
Out 6th outlet: Release loop end, in milliseconds.
Out 7th outlet: Total time of the associated buffer~ object, in milliseconds.
Out 8th outlet: Name of the most recently read audio file.
