Introduction

This program serves one very basic purpose. That is, it converts sound waves into 2 and 3 dimensional surfaces which can subsequently be edited using standard engineering design tools.  While the idea was originally conceived with the purpose of promoting innovative architectural design, the concept has been found to be useful in the study of digital signal processing (DSP).  The study of different DSP sampling techniques, filtering, and transformations can be greatly abetted by visualization of the resulting sound byte transformations as a surface.

The original SoundPlot Version 1.1 was first released in 2003.  The newly revised and updated Version 2.2  will run on Win XP, and Vista.  It is compatible with both Rhino (TM) 4.0 and Rhino 3.0.  Fast, simple, and easy to use with updated help files and samples. This application has been used by the prominent architects,  Baumgartner and Uri,  for original designs of public buildings and has been written about in Architectural Review..
