[microsound] text to sound conversion

[dan <dan@xxxxxxxxxxx> (iel)]

Or if you are looking at a more bloody-mindedly simple

translate "boom-chakka-chakka" to a midi sequence
"kick-hat-snare-hat-snare", the folks on the Supercollider list were
discussing this a coupla months back, you'll have to search the
archives.

Tristan Jehan's patches do a similar thing with spoken voice, using
Max/MSP
http://web.media.mit.edu/~tristan/maxmsp.html
and of course you can cobble yer own thing together in MSP/pd anyway,
interpreting the textual as frequency domain and other such madness.

all run on mac, all are a bit of a pain to use if ya don't already.

but yeah.

cool,
dan

How the Body Works 6, coming soon. You are invited to participate.
Create something textual or visual about 'surface', such as:

Surface: Outward or external appearance---
              Vain and weak understandings, which penetrate no
              deeper than the surface.
