Tools for sketching music composition and sound design. Sketching is a crucial step in both composition and design activities. The SkataRT environment explores the ability of voice and gesture to transpose the "paper/pencil" paradigm widely used in visual creation.

Somax 2 is an application for improvisation and music composition. It is implemented in Max and is based on a generative model using a process similar to concatenative synthesis to provide a stylistically consistent improvisation, while listening and adapting to a musician (or any other type of audio or MIDI source) in real-time.

Spat~ is a library dedicated to real-time sound spatialization. Originally designed as a library, it enables musicians and sound engineers to control the spatial sound processing for various sound rendering systems.

The SpeaK tool is an interface that presents a sound lexicon. The semantic descriptors of the lexicon are organized according to three main classes: timbre (dry/resonant, dull/shiny, smooth/rough, warm, round, rich, nasal, ...), general qualities (low/high, tonal/noisy, near/far, ...), and morphology (attack, fall, continuous/discontinuous...).

Several Max objects are available to follow temporal morphologies from Markov models. The voicefollower~ object shows in real-time the temporal progression of a performance in comparison with an audio recording. This enables the synchronization of a number of sonorous or visual processes with a pre-recorded text.
