A Real-Time Phase Vocoder for Linux
Nick Bailey
Abstract:
Computer music in some respects places extreme demands on operating
systems, especially now that inexpensive desktop platforms have
enough raw processing power to perform relatively complex signal
processing tasks in real time. Shared memory blocks and
System V IPC are powerful allies in realising audio manipulation
tools under real-time control. Sculptor is a set of tools for Linux
which uses these techniques to produce impressive throughput even on
modest platforms. It was initially conceived as a research tool,
but may end up being a musical instrument.
