FluidCorpusMap

FluidCorpusMap is a SuperCollider library for visualizing sound collections using audio analysis and dimensionality reduction.

Install

FluidCorpusMap is based on the Fluid Corpus Manipulation plugins for Supercollider. Make sure you have these installed, then just copy the FCMv2 folder to the SuperCollider Extensions folder.

Use

The library can be use to generate plots of sound collections in different ways. The collection can be extracted by segmentation of a longer recording.

Here is an example:

(
var win = Window.new("", Rect(0, 0, 800, 800));
var fcm = FCM.new();
var plot;

fcm.settings.reduction.useGrid = true;
fcm.settings.reduction.gridSample = 3;
fcm.settings.analysis.positionFtr = \mfcc;
fcm.settings.analysis.shapeFtr = \loudness;
fcm.settings.analysis.colorFtr = \spectral_centroid;
fcm.settings.reduction.useGrid = true;
fcm.settings.reduction.gridSample = 4;
fcm.settings.display.iconSize = 10;
fcm.settings.display.iconStyle = \fill;

fcm.addFolder("/path/to/files/wav")
.makeIndex()
.run{
	plot = FCMPlotView.new(win, win.bounds, fcm);
	win.front;
})

And the resulting plot using a collection of ~1500 sounds:
