In: Proceedings of the 2000 International Computer Music Conference, ICMC; 2000 Aug 27 - Sep 1; Berlin, Germany.

To follow and encourage this trend, we have added support for importing and exporting SDIF files in the latest version of the SMS applications, a group of applications for spectrum-modeling analysis and synthesis. In this paper we discuss the use of the SDIF standard in the SMS applications. We give a brief introduction to SMS and SDIF, and examine the features and limitations found in the SDIF standard when used to represent the SMS analysis data. We also present an application for the graphical visualization of the SDIF data as extracted from SMS files, similar to the one used in the SMS graphical tools.application/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 3.0 Licenseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
