Interactive musician’s environment

AudioMulch is an interactive musician's environment for PC and Mac. AudioMulch is used for live electronic music performance, composition and sound design.

AudioMulch uses a non-linear "signal flow" approach that's more suited to live performance than rigid, linear, score-editing style software. This together with its intuitive patcher-style user interface makes AudioMulch a powerful performance system. AudioMulch's automation and control features offer a fully-configurable control scheme that allows you to be as hands-on or as hands-off as you want to be.

AudioMulch is an interactive musician's environment for PC and Mac. AudioMulch is used for live electronic music performance, composition and sound design.

AudioMulch uses a non-linear "signal flow" approach that's more suited to live performance than rigid, linear, score-editing style software. This together with its intuitive patcher-style user interface makes AudioMulch a powerful performance system. AudioMulch's automation and control features offer a fully-configurable control scheme that allows you to be as hands-on or as hands-off as you want to be.

Composing music should be as satisfying as performing music live. AudioMulch takes its "live" feeling into the studio, allowing composers to build and explore their musical and sonic ideas in a spontaneous, intuitive way. It's a modular approach in which components are plugged together and processes are manipulated in fluid ways - not just by switching things on and off. This workflow allows you to rapidly put your ideas into practice and hear the results as you work.

Process your voice or instrument live with AudioMulch. Or set up a patch, even include some of your favourite VST plug-ins, and "play" it remotely from a keyboard or any other kind of MIDI device. With AudioMulch's editable mapping curves you can customise and fine tune the way parameters respond to your instrumental gestures. AudioMulch now features patchable MIDI routing, so you can use third party MIDI plugins to modify your input MIDI signals. You can even use MIDI to switch between patches and settings.

AudioMulch provides users with a unique high-level interface not seen in any other music software environment: the AudioMulch Metasurface. The Metasurface is a powerful tool for gestural control that turns AudioMulch into an expressive musical instrument. The Metasurface has no virtual knobs and faders; it's an interface designed specifically for performing music with a computer. Instead of having to turn one nob at a time with the mouse, the Metasurface lets you blend smoothly between dozens of parameter settings on a two dimensional plane. You can even automate and loop your Metasurface gestures.

audiomulch audiomulch v 2.2.4 Jul 15, 2013 MacOS X Intel
Fixed LoopPlayer bug where a muted LoopPlayer would sometimes start unmuted until the beginning of the next bar. This happened if a document was first played starting from anywhere other than the start of a bar (including when synced to MIDI or Network Sync).
Fixed extremely distorted audio when using over-unity floating point sound files in some contraptions (e.g. LoopPlayer).
Fixed LiveLooper crash when creating very short loops.
Fixed LiveLooper assertion failure crash "Assertion failed: (state_ == RECORDING)" if automation or MIDI control tried to clear a track while it was recording.
Fixed intermittent LiveLooper assertion failure crash "Assertion failed: (nextRecordTrack_ == 0)" when all tracks were empty.
Fixed AudioUnit hosting bug: sliders in the generic editor were not updating when parameters were changed using the custom editor or automation.
Fixed Network Chase Sync bug where tempo could sometimes become unstable (even after resetting sync by toggling enable audio off and on again).
Fixed rare crash in automation graphics rendering triggered by MIDI and/or Network Chase Sync bug(s) above.
Windows: fixed issue where no audio devices were listed if any ASIO device returned an error at startup. The MOTU "MOTU PCI Video ASIO" device was triggering this behavior when not connected and powered on.
AudioMulch audiomulch audiomulch v 2.2.3 Dec 14, 2012 MacOS X Intel
Fixed bug where clicking the LiveLooper Start button would sometimes not start recording, especially with high CPU load or when the audio driver buffer size was not set to a multiple of 64 samples.

Fixed bug where PulseComb hold would get permanently stuck on if you set the Hold Quantize Divisions multiplier to zero with Quantize Amount set to non-zero.
Fixed bug in PulseComb hold quantize behavior (present since version 2.1): Hold Quantize was taking priority over the Hold Period causing rapid holds when the hold duration should have been at least as long as Hold Period. To get the previous "buggy" behavior use a very short Hold Period.
Fixed bug in SDelay where delay times would not be displayed correctly (clamped to a maximum value of 32) when recalling presets that switched delay units from rhythmic units to milliseconds.
Display preset names in preset automation hover tooltips.
Fixed crash when recalling AudioMulch presets with DFX Transverb VST Plugin.
Mac: fixed crash when selecting the contraption editor "Close All" menu item when the mouse cursor was positioned over a sub-control of the editor.
Mac: fixed bug where using the "Refresh Plugins List" context menu would cause subsequent documents to load the wrong VST plugins until AudioMulch was restarted.

metasurface audiomulch v 2.2.0 Jul 26, 2012 MacOS X Intel
New Features

Added MIDI output contraptions (MidiOut1 - MidiOut8).
Added support for switching Metasurface snapshots via MIDI control.
Frequency parameters are now also displayed as musical pitches in parameter tool tips. They can also be edited as musical pitches using piano keyboard interface in the Set Value dialog box.
New SChorus stereo chorus contraption.
New header bar in contraption Preset window.
New Welcome Screen giving access to recent files and other options.

Enhancements

Switched to internal 64 sample control rate with no lower limit on sound card buffer size. Results in higher stability with buffer size settings lower than 256 samples.
Mac: Removed 256 sample buffer size limit to support lower latency.
New timing engine for MIDI and network clock synchronization. Stable sync. Increased hardware compatibility.
Added “pattern mode” for MIDI sync generation for compatibility with Electribe and Nord Micro Modular step sequencers.
Added clock-synchronous period and phase mode to SSpat contraption. Synchronize spatialization paths to the global clock pulse.
Reworked and updated help file with a clear, modular, step-by-step tutorial format.
Added ability to clear automation points without deleting the time range. Using the DELETE key or selecting the Clear item in the Edit menu deletes the selected points. Using the Delete Time item in the Edit menu deletes the time range, which used to be the default behavior.
Removed limit on the number of presets per contraption.
Added Auto Hide button to contraption Preset Window.
Adjustable brightness and contrast of the user interface color scheme on the Appearance page of the Settings/Preferences Dialog Box.
Made MIDI and network sync offset settings have consistent meaning (positive values always make the slave later).
New sync offset settings for network sync.
The Metasurface parameters tree now supports multiple selection (using drag, SHIFT+click and CTRL+click) and enabling/disabling selected items. Added "Enable Selected Parameters" and "Disable Selected parameters" context menu items.
Unified handling of drag-and-drop behavior between Metasurface snapshots, contraption Presets, Document Switcher document entries, File Player and File Recorder. These should now all behave consistently.
Windows Vista and 7: Added Settings > Audio Driver > "Disable Desktop Window Manager MMCSS scheduling" option. May reduce graphics card related audio glitching on some systems.
Reworked generic plugin editor grids for VST and AU plugins.
Mac: switched to “Cocoa” user interface framework for improved compatibility with plugin user interfaces.
The interpretation of MIDI Control Change and Program Change messages has been updated to be more conformant with the MIDI specification when controlling presets and Metasurface snapshots. By default the first (0th) MIDI value now maps to the first (1st) preset/snapshot. There’s also an option to change the offset.
Mac: added support for two-finger pan gesture for scrolling automation and contraption rhythmic pattern editors.
Use AudioMulch’s Open Sound File dialog box when locating missing sound files to allow previewing soundfiles.

Note

Fixed bug where SouthPole envelopes would continuously re-trigger if Automation stopped but was at a pattern trigger location (i.e. time 0).
Fixed issues with VST plugin property values not being synchronized after recalling or loading a VST program or program bank. This should allow all VST plugins (e.g. u-he Zebra and NI Reaktor) to work correctly with the Metasurface.
Keep VST parameter name displays in sync with plugins that dynamically change parameter names (e.g. Reaktor, FXpansion Guru).
Fixed bug in VST generic property editor where sliders didn't match property values after switching from custom to generic editor.

Fixed potential crash when MIDI messages were received while disabling audio.
Fixed bug: AuxOut contraptions not showing inlets when creating by drag and drop.
Fixed micro-jittering of property values during Metasurface interpolation if all snapshots hold the same value.
Reduced CPU load when interpolating Metasurface snapshots if there were many parameters with no value changes.
Fixed crash: shift+clicking on a contraption or connection in the Patcher Pane when it was the only selected contraption or connection and then deleting it, would crash.
Windows: Fixed bug in .amh document save and load routines which would sometimes cause values to be lost on systems which used a decimal comma "," instead of a decimal point ".".
Fixed issue with SSpat glitching/clicking when using a large "Scale" value, and also when using audio buffer sizes < 256 samples.
Fixed bug that would cause distortion/zipper noise in Compressor and NoiseGate when sample rate was greater than 48k.
Improved number display in number edit boxes such as those used to specify the tempo and the loop length in LoopPlayer. Should no longer display a long string of 0.9999999999999999 or 0.0000000000001 e.g. when incrementing and decrementing values using the mouse or the arrow keys.
Fixed problems with long strings of decimal places in Tempo number edit box after clock-syncing tempo.
Optimized speed of display/rendering for sliders and knobs.
Fixed "green fur" display issue on combo boxes in contraption editors, when hovering mouse over combo box and there are overlapping contraption editors with a pattern editor behind.
Fixed bug: sample rates not updating in Settings/Preferences dialog box latency labels (e.g. Windows Multimedia) after changing sample rate.
Reflect the names of renamed input/output contraptions in level meters and settings. Display I/O contraption name text as well as contraption type name in level meters, patcher tool tips, settings window audio device table tool tips.
Mac: Fixed issue where clicking on some buttons didn't work if you clicked near the edge.
Windows: Fixed Main Window title blinking "*" and document name changes during opening or switching documents.
Fixed layout of SouthPole LFO2 tab: when switching between SouthPole LFO 1 and LFO 2 the controls were not aligned.
interface audiomulch v 2.1.2 Dec 9, 2011 MacOS X Intel
Fixed bug where contraption preset window would spontaneously disappear when one of the contraption editor button tooltips displayed and then hid.
Fixed bug in audio settings where setting devices to None was not remembered after restarting AudioMulch. Instead, the default device and all channels would be selected at next startup.
Fixed bug/crash assertion failure "DRAG_STATE_NONE" when trying to drag 5Combs contraption editor while pitch selection window was visible.
Fixed bug where selection of AIFF files was not possible during the "locate missing sound files" process.
Improved scroll wheel behavior in properties pane. Scroll wheel no longer gets stuck on individual controls while scrolling the whole view. Scroll wheel now only acts on number editors when they already have input focus. Scroll wheel never acts on combo boxes and FilePlayer/Recorder location bars.
Mac: improved stability of MIDI clock sync generation output. It was stuttering or unreliable with some MIDI devices.
Fixed intermittent bug on Windows where evaluation period was indicated as expired immediately after first installation.

* Fixed bug where Export to Sound File function would not terminate (it exported until the disk was full) if an automated clock stop marker was encountered while prerolling or exporting.
* Fixed bug where pressing the Return (Enter) key when editing parameter values in number editors and Metasurface snapshot and contraption preset names would cause the clock to stop and go to start rather than completing text editing. Also changed number editor behavior so Space bar starts/stops the clock even when a number editor has focus.
* Fixed bug where typing numbers into a number edit in some places (e.g. Parameter Control window) would enter the numbers in reverse order (right-to-left).
* Fixed bugs where tempo automation always defaulted to 120 bpm and did not pick up current tempo when first enabled, nor would it record tempo changes from the GUI (it would record tempo changes from MIDI).
* Fixed bug where choosing Change Color... for a Metasurface snapshot, then pressing Cancel in the Select Color dialog box always made the snapshot black.
* Fixed bug where SoundIn Sync mode didn't function correctly in all File Recorder contraptions.
* Fixed bug where MIDI mapping curve editor in the Parameter Control dialog would not allow insertion of new breakpoints on vertical line segments including at the left and right edges of the editor.

audiomulch audiomulch v 2.2.4 Jul 15, 2013 Windows
Fixed LoopPlayer bug where a muted LoopPlayer would sometimes start unmuted until the beginning of the next bar. This happened if a document was first played starting from anywhere other than the start of a bar (including when synced to MIDI or Network Sync).
Fixed extremely distorted audio when using over-unity floating point sound files in some contraptions (e.g. LoopPlayer).
Fixed LiveLooper crash when creating very short loops.
Fixed LiveLooper assertion failure crash "Assertion failed: (state_ == RECORDING)" if automation or MIDI control tried to clear a track while it was recording.
Fixed intermittent LiveLooper assertion failure crash "Assertion failed: (nextRecordTrack_ == 0)" when all tracks were empty.
Fixed AudioUnit hosting bug: sliders in the generic editor were not updating when parameters were changed using the custom editor or automation.
Fixed Network Chase Sync bug where tempo could sometimes become unstable (even after resetting sync by toggling enable audio off and on again).
Fixed rare crash in automation graphics rendering triggered by MIDI and/or Network Chase Sync bug(s) above.
Windows: fixed issue where no audio devices were listed if any ASIO device returned an error at startup. The MOTU "MOTU PCI Video ASIO" device was triggering this behavior when not connected and powered on.

metasurface audiomulch v 2.2.0 Jul 26, 2012 Windows
New Features

Added MIDI output contraptions (MidiOut1 - MidiOut8).
Added support for switching Metasurface snapshots via MIDI control.
Frequency parameters are now also displayed as musical pitches in parameter tool tips. They can also be edited as musical pitches using piano keyboard interface in the Set Value dialog box.
New SChorus stereo chorus contraption.
New header bar in contraption Preset window.
New Welcome Screen giving access to recent files and other options.

Enhancements

Switched to internal 64 sample control rate with no lower limit on sound card buffer size. Results in higher stability with buffer size settings lower than 256 samples.
Mac: Removed 256 sample buffer size limit to support lower latency.
New timing engine for MIDI and network clock synchronization. Stable sync. Increased hardware compatibility.
Added “pattern mode” for MIDI sync generation for compatibility with Electribe and Nord Micro Modular step sequencers.
Added clock-synchronous period and phase mode to SSpat contraption. Synchronize spatialization paths to the global clock pulse.
Reworked and updated help file with a clear, modular, step-by-step tutorial format.
Added ability to clear automation points without deleting the time range. Using the DELETE key or selecting the Clear item in the Edit menu deletes the selected points. Using the Delete Time item in the Edit menu deletes the time range, which used to be the default behavior.
Removed limit on the number of presets per contraption.
Added Auto Hide button to contraption Preset Window.
Adjustable brightness and contrast of the user interface color scheme on the Appearance page of the Settings/Preferences Dialog Box.
Made MIDI and network sync offset settings have consistent meaning (positive values always make the slave later).
New sync offset settings for network sync.
The Metasurface parameters tree now supports multiple selection (using drag, SHIFT+click and CTRL+click) and enabling/disabling selected items. Added "Enable Selected Parameters" and "Disable Selected parameters" context menu items.
Unified handling of drag-and-drop behavior between Metasurface snapshots, contraption Presets, Document Switcher document entries, File Player and File Recorder. These should now all behave consistently.
Windows Vista and 7: Added Settings > Audio Driver > "Disable Desktop Window Manager MMCSS scheduling" option. May reduce graphics card related audio glitching on some systems.
Reworked generic plugin editor grids for VST and AU plugins.
Mac: switched to “Cocoa” user interface framework for improved compatibility with plugin user interfaces.
The interpretation of MIDI Control Change and Program Change messages has been updated to be more conformant with the MIDI specification when controlling presets and Metasurface snapshots. By default the first (0th) MIDI value now maps to the first (1st) preset/snapshot. There’s also an option to change the offset.
Mac: added support for two-finger pan gesture for scrolling automation and contraption rhythmic pattern editors.
Use AudioMulch’s Open Sound File dialog box when locating missing sound files to allow previewing soundfiles.

Note

Fixed potential crash when MIDI messages were received while disabling audio.
Fixed bug: AuxOut contraptions not showing inlets when creating by drag and drop.
Fixed micro-jittering of property values during Metasurface interpolation if all snapshots hold the same value.
Reduced CPU load when interpolating Metasurface snapshots if there were many parameters with no value changes.
Fixed crash: shift+clicking on a contraption or connection in the Patcher Pane when it was the only selected contraption or connection and then deleting it, would crash.
Windows: Fixed bug in .amh document save and load routines which would sometimes cause values to be lost on systems which used a decimal comma "," instead of a decimal point ".".
Fixed issue with SSpat glitching/clicking when using a large "Scale" value, and also when using audio buffer sizes < 256 samples.
Fixed bug that would cause distortion/zipper noise in Compressor and NoiseGate when sample rate was greater than 48k.
Improved number display in number edit boxes such as those used to specify the tempo and the loop length in LoopPlayer. Should no longer display a long string of 0.9999999999999999 or 0.0000000000001 e.g. when incrementing and decrementing values using the mouse or the arrow keys.
Fixed problems with long strings of decimal places in Tempo number edit box after clock-syncing tempo.
Optimized speed of display/rendering for sliders and knobs.
Fixed "green fur" display issue on combo boxes in contraption editors, when hovering mouse over combo box and there are overlapping contraption editors with a pattern editor behind.

Fixed layout of SouthPole LFO2 tab: when switching between SouthPole LFO 1 and LFO 2 the controls were not aligned.
interface audiomulch v 2.1.2 Dec 9, 2011 Windows
Fixed bug where contraption preset window would spontaneously disappear when one of the contraption editor button tooltips displayed and then hid.
Fixed bug in audio settings where setting devices to None was not remembered after restarting AudioMulch. Instead, the default device and all channels would be selected at next startup.
Fixed bug/crash assertion failure "DRAG_STATE_NONE" when trying to drag 5Combs contraption editor while pitch selection window was visible.
Fixed bug where selection of AIFF files was not possible during the "locate missing sound files" process.
Improved scroll wheel behavior in properties pane. Scroll wheel no longer gets stuck on individual controls while scrolling the whole view. Scroll wheel now only acts on number editors when they already have input focus. Scroll wheel never acts on combo boxes and FilePlayer/Recorder location bars.
Mac: improved stability of MIDI clock sync generation output. It was stuttering or unreliable with some MIDI devices.
Fixed intermittent bug on Windows where evaluation period was indicated as expired immediately after first installation.
