Max/MSP Projects

The MBrola Project

As an explanation of MBrola, take a look at the following:

You can also search Google for information:

Recently, some Belgian software designers have developed a Max external that implements the MBrola format:

One of the interesting things here is that the entire voice is generated at the time. There is no actual audio recording, but pre-recorded phonemes are 'played back' incorporating modulations provided by a separate file.

NB The objects do not appear to be very stable, so save frequently!


The Projects

The projects and tasks are designed to help you through the various courses and materials that you'll have to deal with, and also to provide an active and practical element to what could otherwise become a rather dry and technical exercise. Tasks are small exercises - you may be asked to complete one or two per week. Projects are larger and carry a higher percentage of the mark. We will undertake two, three, four or more projects and tasks. The final project is usually an individual choice project, and will be worth significantly more than the others in terms of percentages in your portfolio. We will usually try to set aside a time to perform the projects in a public setting.
