This can be seen as a content-based extension to granular synthesis providing direct access to specific sound characteristics. CataRT is implemented as a collection of Max/MSP patches using the FTM library and an SQL database. Segmentation and MPEG-7 descriptors are loaded from SDIF files or generated on-the-fly. The
