This repository contains abstractions written in Pure Data that mimick latent embeddings for use in generative neural audio synthesis.
Latent Jamming is an improvisation practice with real-time capable neural audio models that embraces concepts of algorithmic and/ or generative composition techniques. Read more about concept and practice here.
Compatible model architectures include RAVE, VSCHAOS2, MSPrior and AFTER) all of which can be loaded using nn~.

| Component | Description |
|---|---|
 |
Arseq is a prototype abstraction for latent sequencing. It generates a small array (1-16 data points) with manually set values and outputs these consecutively as constant signals or with a simple envelope applied (decay to 0) on each bang received through the first inlet. |
 |
Bender is inspired by Błażej Kotowski's work with his fork of nn~ (nn~ bending). The component exposes the neural net's weights and biases and can be used to tamper with the model e.g. manually overwrite, shift or randomize a given percentage of data points in the neural nets' layers. The abstraction comes with additional controls for MSPrior and AFTER models. |
 |
ch4ns0n and ch8ns0n are POC components for latent composition use case. They are 4ch/ 8ch samplers that play back latent signal songs at 21Hz, created with UnRAVEl, a python script for speculative composition in latent space. |
 |
Lateefah is a family of multichannel signal generators with storage banks that conserve offset constellations for latent dimensions (think: sound presets). The modulator addons semi-automatically go through the vicinity of the values stored in order to create organically moving sound shifts. |
 |
Saatgut is a latent sample player that generates arrays (64-512 data points) with randomized values and employs signal input for lookup (e.g. phasor~ for loops). The slider on the right multiplies data point values. Arrays can be saved into and loaded from files. |
|
Saatgut2 is a potentially cheaper version of Saatgut that replaces fixed with relative amounts of randomized data points in relation to current sample rate and a definable frequency (phasor~) for latent variable lookup. |
 |
saatR generates random noise sample patterns based on predefined seeds. These patterns can be restarted via bangs to the first inlet. Range slider multiplies sample values, Offset slider shifts window of values. The pattern can be modulated by an external signal source via the second inlet (switch on Mod. toggle). The seedR addon can be used to switch between two pre-set seed values injected into the third inlet of the abstraction. |
 |
sdbx is a lightweight component that stores up to 99 random seed values in an array and pushes them sequentially into a noise~ object each time a bang comes in through the first inlet. |
