BEASTtools v1.0
A multichannel playground for the development of sound materials

http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/BEAST/research/BEASTtools.aspx

by Daniel Barreiro, Pete Batchelor, Eric Bumstead, James Carpenter, Alex Harker, Jonty Harrison, Erik Oña and Chris Tarren – with special thanks to Ben Thigpen.

BEASTtools is a fully modular cross-platform environment for exploring and processing sound in 2- and 8-channel formats. The system comprises a number of processing 'tools', each with a specific function, which can be daisy-chained together to form a work environment. BEASTtools also has facilities for accepting live audio streams, hosting VST plugins, up to 8-channel recording, and controlling channel routing for different software programs and applications.

To run BEASTtools you will need Max/MSP or Max Runtime. Simply download and unzip the bundle and follow the instructions in the ReadMe file.

Dear All,

BEASTtools v1.0 is (finally!) available for download. It's just a small zip file which you unzip and then follow the instructions in the ReadMe file. You need Max 5 or Max Runtime (free from Cyling 74's web-site); it seems to run OK in Max 6 for those of you have already moved to that, but has not been thoroughly tested.

Have a great and productive 2012! And please feel free to contact us with any comments on BEASTtools.

Best wishes,

Jonty

Chers Amis,

BEASTtools v1.0 est (finalement!) disponible pour téléchargement. C’est tout simplement un petit fichier zip que vous ouvrez et puis suivez les directions (seulement en anglais – désolé!) dans le fichier ReadMe. Vous aurez besoin ou de Max 5 ou de Max Runtime (disponible gratuitement sur le site de Cycling 74); il semble de fonctionner sans problèmes en Max 6 pour ceux qui travaillent déjà avec ce logiciel, mais nous n’avons pas tout vérifié.

Je vous souhaite bonne année et bon travail pour 2012! Et prière de nous contacter avec vos impressions de BEASTtools.

Amitiés,

Jonty
