Getting Started

Information on downloading and building taps, as well as some basics on using the system.

• Downloading taps
• Building taps (and beyond)
• Very high-level TAPESTREA overview

Techniques And Paradigms

A high-level overview of the various analysis, transformation, and synthesis mechanisms available. Transformation and synthesis are closely tied under the heading "Synthesis" throughout, since many of the transformations can take place in real-time during synthesis.

• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Grouping and Editing Tracks
• Search
• Valid file types (not exactly a technique, but good to know now)

User Interface

Like the Audicle, TAPESTREA presents multiple "faces" or interfaces, in this case, one for each class of actions. Currently TAPESTREA has an analysis, a synthesis, and an audio control face, with more in progress.

• General overview (switching between faces, overall commands)
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Grouping and Editing Tracks
• Audio control
• Scripting
• Search

Parameters

Quick access to tables of available parameters. The parameters are interactively controlled from the user interfaces, but could also be driven by other engines.
