Hi everyone,
I am excited to share a major update to Praat AudioTools! The toolkit has been fully updated and optimized to run seamlessly on Praat 7.0+. In this release, the library has expanded to 460 modular scripts across 13 categories, focusing heavily on offline analysis-resynthesis, neural audio processing, physical modeling, and spatial manipulation for experimental composition and sound design.
Here are some of the key newly added and updated scripts available in the latest version:
- Anomaly Outlier Extractor: Detects, isolates, and extracts statistical/spectral anomalies within an audio file for micro-montage and experimental gesture extraction.
- Corpus Concatenative Codec: Extends descriptor-driven concatenative synthesis, allowing precise target-matching from segmented audio corpora using feature-matching logic.
- Acoustic DNA Resonator: Maps acoustic feature profiles directly onto dynamic physical modeling networks and resonant filter structures.
- DDSP Neural Revoicing: Implements Differentiable Digital Signal Processing concepts directly within Praat’s analytical environment to revoice and transform harmonic/noise components.
- Fluid Event Fields: Generates dynamic, evolving temporal textures and fluid granular distributions based on stochastic continuous field equations.
- IRCAM ambiX Bformat to Binaural: Formats and decodes Higher-Order Ambisonic (ambiX B-format) signals down to binaural spatial audio directly offline.
- Neural Resynthesis Vocoder: Merges machine-learning feature tracking with parametric resynthesis engines for hybrid vocal and instrumental transformations.
Feel free to check out the project, explore the scripts, and share any feedback or compositions created with the toolkit!
