Partiels is an audio analysis application and collection of plug-ins that lets you analyze one or more audio files using Vamp plug-ins, load data files, visualize, edit, organize and export results as images or text files that can be used in other applications such as Max, Pure Data, Open Music and more. In parallel with Partiels, a set of analyses based on audio engines developed by Ircam's Analyse-Synthèse team are ported to Ircam's Vamp plug-ins: SuperVP, IrcamBeat, IrcamDescriptor, PM2, FCN and VAX. These plug-ins enable FFT, LPC, transient, fundamental, formant, tempo and other analyses.

Objectives

By the end of the training course, participants will be able to use the Partiels software to generate, edit, organise and export sound analyses. They will be able to analyse the content of sounds, particularly through the use of spectrograms, pitch curves and attack transients. Through practical exercises and concrete examples based on different analyses, participants will develop their ability to interpret sonic characteristics. They will also be able to configure and use AI tools to support their analytical processes. Finally, they will know how to export the results produced and use them in other software applications in order to generate new sounds

  • Fluency in spoken and written English.
  • Comfortable using the Zoom video platform.
  • Good understanding of computer manipulation on MacOS, Linux or Windows.
  • Basic knowledge of digital audio workstations.

In 2025, participants in the Partiels training program achieved the learning objectives with a 100% success rate. Their satisfaction rate was also 100%.
