About CataRT
CataRT (Concatenative Real-Time) is a Max/MSP environment focused on real-time sound synthesis and processing using concatenative techniques. It allows users to explore vast sound corpora by selecting and playing back segments based on various descriptors. CataRT leverages machine learning algorithms for feature extraction and similarity analysis, enabling intuitive navigation and manipulation of large audio databases. The core architecture involves indexing a sound corpus with descriptors like MFCCs, spectral centroid, and pitch. Real-time input or pre-computed audio can then be mapped to these descriptors, triggering the playback of similar sound segments from the corpus. It's designed for creative applications in music performance, sound design, and interactive installations, offering a flexible platform for algorithmic composition and sonic exploration. CataRT excels at granular synthesis, sound morphing, and creating complex sonic textures from simple sound elements.
