Using MuBu to create databases

Hello all,

I’m very new to the MuBu max library, so I’m not really sure about all of it is possible to do with it. I’m trying to create a database of sound descriptors values of buffers similar to the way the object <orchidea.features> works (giving a basic average value for each buffer descriptor) but using the ircamdescriptors.

Would it be possible for the objects in MuBu to calculate an avarage descriptor value for a buffer and output it in text form? I have only took an overlook at the mubu objects, and could only see offline calculation been shown through the object.

I also tried to use the <ircamdescriptors~> object, but its offline analysis outputs multiple values for the same descriptor of each buffer, and I couldn’t figure out what is the math behind the number of instances each buffer was analysed to then calculate the average value myself.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best,
Raphael

Hi @RaphaelVilani,

You can check the pipo library inside the mubu package.
A good way to see it in action is to have a look at:

All the best,
