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.
