Extensions and Applications of the SDIF Sound Description Interchange Format

摘要: This paper concentrates on recent extensions and applications of the well established SDIF Sound Description Interchange Format: selection is a standard way to access part an file. It allows users select frames certain type time, parts matrix data. can be appended file name, making it easy use for command-line programs. Other include choosing output description types, or mapping them display modes actions, e.g., when converting from untyped legacy formats. Foreign programming language interfaces allow processing data by languages other than C. Interfaces support functions Lisp (CLOS) Matlab are presented. Dispatching I/O new style supported IRCAM’s libraray. Users library specify set callback each with indicating matrices that should passed callback. The takes care reading file, dispatches selected appropriate callback(s). Writing works analogously. described in this utility programs Unix Macintosh conversion, viewing, extracting, merging SDIF, integration into widely used software-systems Additive, jMax, Max/MSP, Diphone, OpenMusic, synergetic effects induced. We propose Frame Directory, which rapid random at given time recording position, type, information about frame
