OpenMusic Libraries
OM libraries contain extra tools dedicated to specific purposes.
A default folder for dynamically loadable libraries is created by OM:
- In OM 6.12 or earlier: within the OM application directory (OM 6.xx/libraries)
- In OM 6.13: in your home directory (<home>/OM/Libraries)
You can also add extra libraries folder and register them in OM:
- Create a directory "Libraries" (or any other name) somewhere in your computer (but not in the OM directory!).
- Put your own libraries in this folder
- Register this directory in the OM Preferences ("Libraries" tab, external user lib directories).
- If necessary, use the menu item File/Refresh Libraries Package… on the Library window in order to update the libraries list.
Notes:
- Libraries can also be loaded as "Remote User Libs" (see Library window, Menu File).
- How to write my own library?
See "Writing user libraries" in the Developer resources section for instructions about how to write your own OM library.
- Where to find OM libraries?
The "Forum" libraries are distributed by the Ircam Forum (with subscription):
| OM-SuperVP | Control of the SuperVP phase vocoder for sound analysis and processing. |
| OM-pm2 | Control of the pm2 engine for sound partial-tracking analysis and additive synthesis. |
| OM-Diph | Generation and execution of Diphone scripts for sound analysis and concatenative synthesis. |
| OM-Chant | Control of the Chant syntehsizer. |
| OM-Spat | Generation of spatial sound scenes and spatialization using an offline Spat rendering engine. |
These other libraries for sound synthesis are distributed for free by the Ircam Forum and on their development repositories:
| OM2Csound | Generation of Csound scores and orchestra. External control of Csound synthesis. |
| OMChroma | High-level control of sound synthesis using Csound (requires OM2Csound). |
| OMPrisma | Control of sound spatialization and spatial sound synthesis (requires OMChroma and OM2Csound). |
"Standard" libraries, available from the OM development repositories: https://github.com/openmusic-project
| Esquisse | Spectral music / intervallic manipulation tools |
| LZ | Automatic Modeling of Musical Style |
| RepMus | The lengendary library from the Music Representations team |
| Profile | Library for the Control of Melodic Profiles |
| Alea | Aleatoric tools |
| Chaos | Dynamic systems library |

A set of additional, freely-distributed and/or third party libraries are hosted on the openmusic-prject or other development repositories:
