A collection of Java objects used for audio segmentation, feature extraction (audio metadata) and also rearranging segments based on features and writing a new audio file.

MEAPsoft was created by the participants in the Music Engineering Art Project at Columbia University. See the MEAPsoft Homepage. It was written in JAVA with a good object oriented design.

The goal was to extract the interessting parts like the segmenter, the feature extractor and the composer and give them a new life as autonomous max objects. MEAP4Max is released under the terms of GNU GPL v2 licence.

Highlights:

• 2 different modes for slicing
• a good set of feature extractors including (MFCC)
• easily expandable with more extractors and composers
• source code included
• well documented overview patcher

To-Do:

• optionally to files it should be possible to use a dict to pass data between objects 
• there's a visualization unit in MEAPsoft which has been left out
• Seg.java should be able to directly read a part of a buffer~ as input
• Synth.java should allow xfading of chunks
• Synth.java should be able to write to a buffer~
• the overview patcher could be organized by using tabs
