    Schaeffer, GRM and their influence on NES-tools for Max
    Hirst, D ; Vickery, L (The Australasian Computer Music Association, 2019)
    NES-Tools is a suite of audio signal processors emulating the GRM-Tools, but in the Max environment. This article provides the historical context for the creation of GRM- Tools, reaching back to the concepts developed by GRM’s founder Pierre Schaeffer, providing a summary of technological developments at GRM, then describing the details of each of the NES-Tools. The adaptability of using the Max environment is demonstrated, and recent translations to Max for Live are noted.

    NES-spectrale: a suite of max tools for processing in the frequency domain
    Hirst, D ; Vickery, L (The Australasian Computer Music Association, 2019)
    This project’s aim was to explore the notion of “timbre processing” using Jitter matrices as the store and processing mechanism. The NES-Spectrale suite of Max/Jitter patchers is a structured set of tools for processing sounds in the frequency domain, and inverse transforming the results into the time domain, in the form of audio signals. This collection of software tools extends the work of Jean-François Charles, providing an efficient and novel approach to FFT-based processing.
