  See the learning materials on Learning Central and also tutorial lab sheets for links to useful MATLAB code (STFT/Phase Vocoder, Audio Synthesis and Effects) that will help with this Coursework.

• Isotope Iris: Iris in unfortunately now discontinued (a good reason why a MATLAB "replacement" would be useful!) A good YouTube overview is here
• Spectralayers by Steinberg: Trial demo here
• Novum by Tracktion: Trial demo here
• A piece of hardware called a Granular Convolver
• Understanding Granular Synthesis (YouTube Tutorial)
• MATLAB audio documentation: DSP System Toolbox/Speech and Audio Processing. (Also see MATLAB buitl-in help/doc files on these)
• MATLAB MidiToolbox --- Reads/Writes Midifiles, converts midi between note number, musical notes/pitches and frequencies.
  • Local copy of zipped MIDI toolbox MATLAB FIles (Local Students Only)
  • Local copy of MIDI toolbox MATLAB PDF Manual
• Labrosa Audio Processing Examples.
• musical pitches frequency relationship
• List of pitch/tone intervals as ratios (Useful for the phase vocoder --- see Tutorial 2 notes).
