Dear computer-music colleagues,
We are happy to announce the availability of *MusicSpace *as a Max/Msp java object.
*MusicSpace *brings the power of *constraint propagation* algorithms to the *real-time control* of musical parameters.
This new version substantially improves the original one (no longer distributed), by being totally open (any Max parameter can be controlled), and by bringing an improved constraint propagation algorithm.
MusicSpace can be used to control any spatialisation parameter (see the video which shows MusicSpace controlling Ircam's spat), but also also music mixing (see the Beatles remix), as well as effects control or even real time control of synthesis parameters.
MusicSpace is available for free as a Max Java (mxj) object, as well as several example patches and demonstration videos from:
http://www.csl.sony.fr/MusicSpace
The videos should give you quickly an idea of the potential of constraint propagation for parameter control.
Don't hesitate to use this versatile Max object, and we would be very happy to hear about any project, idea or improvement you could have about MusicSpace.
Sincerely,
The MusicSpace team (Francois Pachet, Pierre Roy, Olivier Delerue)

The design and implementation of multimedia signal processing systems is challenging especially when efficiency and real-time performance is desired. In many modern applications, software systems must be able to handle multiple flows of various types of multimedia data such as audio and video. Researchers frequently have to rely on a combination of different software tools for each modality to assemble proof-of-concept systems that are inefficient, brittle and hard domain name registration to maintain. Marsyas is a software framework originally developed to address these issues in the domain of audio processing. In this paper we describe MarsyasX, a new open-source cross-modal web site design analysis framework that aims at a broader score of applications. It follows a dataflow architecture where complex networks of processing objects can be assembled to form systems that can handle multiple dedicated server and different types of multimedia flows with expressiveness and efficiency.
