spectral analysis and editing based on a sinusoidal sound model
SPEAR (Sinusoidal Partial Editing Analysis and Resynthesis) is an application that implements sinusoidal analysis (MQ/PARSHL method) and a full-featured GUI. It supports flexible selection and immediate manipulation of analysis data, cut and paste, and unlimited undo/redo. Hundreds of simultaneous partials can be synthesized in real-time and documents may contain thousands of individual partials dispersed in time. It also supports a variety of standard file formats for the import and export of analysis data.

* Support for Unicode filenames/pathnames. This fixes the long standing problem with pathnames containing non-ASCII characters.
* Reorganized and streamlined synthesis options in the Sound menu. Choose various options under the "Synthesis Method" submenu.
* Reorganized synthesis preferences.
* Preferences for controlling noise resynthesis. The noise bandwidth and filter order can be adjusted. High filter orders will produce a noise band with a steeper amplitude cutoff slope.
* Adjustments to the scaling effect of the noise slider.
* Windows bug fixes.

- No expiration date!
- The pencil tool now works! Amplitude is proportional to horizontal velocity: the faster you move to the left or right the higher the amplitude.
- Many small bug fixes and interface improvements for Windows.
- Support for DirectSound and ASIO sound devices on Windows (select in the Preferences window).
- Fade in/out selected partials.
- Improved Windows and Mac installation.

Time stretch bug fixed (when nothing was selected prior to stretching)
preference for choosing output sound file format and bit depth
adjusted SDIF stream IDs — 1NVT is ID -3, 1TYP is ID -1
Great piece of software. More of that...
Wow! amazing potential here... From just playing around with it, this looks amazing - ability to control every partial down to the minutest detail. crazy. Resynthesis has not sounded very full for the audio i tried, but it was very polyphonic and i have not yet fooled around with the FFT resolution, which i think would help this.
