Mosaïque v0.1.2 beta

Hi everyone!

Just want to share this project we’ve been working on super hard : Mosaïque.

We’ve developed a collection of Max for Live devices to explore sound corpora as simply as possible inside the composition environment.

The main device – Mosaïque Server – looks like this :


You load up to 8 corpus inside of a Mosaïque Server. All sounds are displayed in a unified timbre space.

The timbre space can be explored in a 3D environment that looks like this:


It kind of is a video game… wish I could share a video here.

A Mosaïque Server can also navigate the corpora in X, Y, Z coordinates ( or in 2D!) using simple mappable dials. You can also navigate using descriptors. A sampler to play back the sounds (with transposition and AD enveloppe) completes the chain.

We also have players that connects to the server in order to share a corpora. We currently have three players : Mosaïque Basic~, Mosaïque Morph~, Mosaïque Grain~. The devices allows you to navigate a corpora (in part or in whole) and playback the sounds through different methods.

We’re currently in beta. We hope to have feedback, so please do try it. Tutorials and documentation is on the way. I can do Mosaïque zoom sessions if anyone is interested.

That looks amazing!

I’d be down to see a test drive of it. If others are interested perhaps we can do an oldschool “geek session” with a few of us at the same time?

Congratulations! I look forward to play with it and see how people will use it!

you can share an embedded youtube link:)

I wish I had Ableton installed just for that… I’m have to FOMO in silence. @MattS6464 and @albert will definitely like that… and I wonder how you solved the M4L problems in the end, I hope you’ll share the wisdom here @DominicThibault … pretty please?

Congrats again to all the team - I might not be able to use it in Live but I’ll definitely check it out in Max.

Unless it’s doing something special with the Max API you can just run `.axmds in Max as native objects (just drag-drop them onto a patcher). Most of my dsp blocks are M4L devices just to make reuse/enable/disable easier inside Max.

I’d be happy to show you the workflow! Let’s geek session!

We’re at a state where we ask people to install Flucoma separately. Apparently @jamesbradbury found a bug with someone at Cycling74. It’ll eventually trickle down into our Max distribution…

We also distribute the Max project in our GitHub releases. :slight_smile: However, you will not be able to use the Server-Client architecture yet. That’ll come.

Beautiful work, Dominic! I would also perhaps be down for a 1-on-1 session if you are available :slight_smile:
Have you had the chance to compare the results of your device with the already existing IRCAM synth that does concatenative synthesis too (Skatart if i’m not mistaken)? Just wondering how different the results are, sonically

This looks amazing! I’m down for beta testing if needed.

ok I used the ‘server’ M4L device within Max and it is LOADS of fun! I get the 3D to spin while I play and that makes cool loops, for instance. I love it.

Congratulations for the good work. The website announces tutorials and demos, I look forward to see how this will grow.

Great! I’m a geek, I can organize a session.

How about an online workshop on Nov 12th or 15th. What would be best for you @rodrigo.constanzo, @tremblap, @olsgo, @moonpalace?

I’m on the road both days… Go ahead without me, but make a bootleg please!

Either would be ok for me in the afternoon/evening (UK time). I’ll be in the UK, but that’s fine since I always have my laptop anyways.

Dear all,
I’m joining the interesting thread (a bit late :slight_smile: )
This looks amazing. I see how your work could inspire my 3D workflow from 2-3 years ago, which is only slowly progressing.

Hope to join your workshop / brainstorming / whatever session.

Hans
