All releases of audio-checker
Release Notes: This is a demo release. It shows Chladni patterns and/or Makyoh images of a vibrating, elastic, and reflective surface. Sound is captured by the microphone. The interactive console is disabled by default in the Windows build.
Release Notes: The 'mirage toy' has two matched opposing parabolic mirrors to create an illusion: an object in the focus of one of the mirrors will be projected to the other focus, just like a hologram. This release simulates this device, but lets music reshape the mirrors, so the projected object looks like it is dancing. The idea was based on Leibnitz's Monads.
Release Notes: Origami was used as an inspiration to create a moving 3D object that 'dances' to music.
Release Notes: This version adds the visualization of the propagation of waves on a rope and "ether" (a different type of medium).
Release Notes: This version adds surface waves to the tool. Both transformation and visualization of sound on different surfaces (such as rectangle, circle, hexagon, and triangle) are supported. The results are known as "Chlandi patterns". The transform supports both pre-recorded as live sound, so you can have an open microphone visualizing sounds. The documentation gives you a how-to, some examples, and a movie.
Release Notes: The UNFOLD command simulates an expanding medium, ether, that propagates music from a sender to a receiver. This elastic medium is used to see if there is a fundamental invariable chord in a melody.
Release Notes: This release adds two tin-can music 'transforms'. The filters simulate the propagation of the audio through an elastic medium (just like the rope in a tin can telephone). Critical parameters like damping, pull force, mass, length, etc. can cause reflections and resonance on the string. A second device is 'ether': an imaginary tin can telephone-system with many ropes of different lengths between the two end points.
Release Notes: The rhythmic folding is a musical transformation based on reflection. If correctly tuned, it can mask off-beat notes.
Release Notes: This release adds spiral display documentation.
Release Notes: The 'spiral' display type is designed to visualize rhythm in music. If it is correctly tuned, beats show up as upward pointing spikes while off-beats as down-pointing spikes. The basic idea is to use reflection of impulses. Regulary repeated pulses will add up to a strong and steady pulse, unlike irregular pulses who are weaker and move.
