Jabalion, routing control and audio signals

I will present Jabalion, an improvisation environment as an SC standalone. It uses a 'Matrix' concept for routing the audio signals and mapping and assigning control parameters. Synth and processing methods include: fm, gendy, kmeans, granulation, fft, delays lines. It can be controlled by computer, midi interfaces and sensors (arduino), and by pitch and amplitude analysis. I will also discuss GUI issues, presets, automatization, and future perspectives for this work.
