Spectral Freeze - Max/MSP Tutorial

Spectral Freeze is one of my favorite effects - it lets you take a sound and turn it into soundscapes, sonic textures, and harmonic echoes. In this video I create this effect by using [pfft~], applying FFT and IFFT on the audio signal, and saving the spectral analysis into a Jitter Matrix. This is a long one, but a great introduction to the world of FFT!
