Overtone -- OpenSource Audio Editing, Sample, Creation Jaming Etc etc.
|
http://overtone.github.com/index.html
Overtone is an open source audio environment being created to explore musical ideas from synthesis and sampling to instrument building, live-coding and collaborative jamming. We use the SuperCollider synth server as the audio engine, with Clojure being used to develop the APIs and the application. Synthesizers, effects, analyzers and musical generators can be programmed in Clojure.
Come and join the Overtone Google Group if you want to get involved in the project or have any questions about how you can use Overtone to make cool sounds and music.
This looks pretty neat. Where I see this being super cool is creating a sample or tone with in this tool, and then importing it into another DAW some place else. The idea of creating something that no other DAW out there could ever create is pretty neat.
The project looks a little rough, and by rough I mean.. rough. Even by my standards. Which.. are pretty low. But it might be something really cool to tinker with.
if you are looking for something that is point and click stop then right there.. this has its own programable language.
most people are going to say this thing sucks.. but dig a little, and i think you'll be shocked. I'm trying to find some youtube videos of it in action but having a hardtime. should show you how raw this product is.
