Research and Development

MEAPsoft is a program for automatically segmenting and rearranging audio recordings. MEAPsoft works by segmenting original audio up into individual beats or events, calculating some features for each segment, and rearranging segments from one or more pieces to create a new piece of music. MEAPsoft comes with a wide and increasing range of feature extraction routines, and algorithms for matching and rearranging the segments (called "composers"). MEAPsoft is written in Java, and makes it pretty easy to write your own feature extractors and composers.

MEAPsoft was created by the participants in the Music Engineering Art Project at Columbia University. Development by: Ron Weiss, Douglas Repetto, Mike Mandel, Dan Ellis, Victor Adan, Jeff Snyder, Sam Pluta. Additional contributions by: John Arroyo, Johanna Devaney, Dan Iglesia, Graham Poliner
