[PD] Audio Manipulations in Wavelet Domain Information

[padawan12]

That's a wonderful explanation and exploration of wavelets Raul.
In particular I think your diagrams of the analysis and resynthesis
processes are very good. 

While the idea of wavelet resynthesis isn't new the transformations 
you're showing in chapter 3 seem insightful and original.
And they're in Puredata! :) Your patches make this process much more
accessible to the rest of us. Thankyou very much!

A couple of refs I think you might have missed and may want to
look at are

Grossman and Morlet 1984 - decomposition of Hardy functions
Gianpaolo Evengelista 1991 - Wavelet transforms we can play
(although I think that one is already in De Poli)

A question regarding one part I still don't understand. Are you
saying it's only possible to manipulate time in powers or two,
like ... 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8 ...? Or is that a limitation
of the implementation (your stretch function).

Also, what are the possibilites for interpolating between wavelet
coefficients taken from different sounds as a kind of cross-synthesis?
(rather than merely mixing grains taken from different sources).
It seems well suited to this, but I'm guessing because I've never 
worked with this method practically. 

Great work.

Andy
