[needs-packaging] ARSS

[Henry de Valence]

Copied from the sourceforge page:

The Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph (formerly known as the Analysis & Reconstruction Sound Engine), or ARSS, is a program that analyses a sound file into a spectrogram and is able to synthesise this spectrogram, or any other user-created image, back into a sound.

What it can do:
    * Store all types of sounds as images and reproduce them as sounds
    * Time stretching, pitch shifting, interval stretching
    * Filter sound features using an image-editing program
    * Image transmission over sound
    * Create sounds from hand-drawn spectrograms such as speech, drum beats or even techno-ish music
    * Create sounds from real-world images
    * Synthesise spectrograms created from other spectrographs, such as printed spectrograms of bird calls in books
    * Reproduce traditional sound effects (such as filtering, equalization, echo, flanger, chorus, phaser, wah-wah, noise reduction, pitch correction) or new variants of effects (such as time-frequency compression) with an image-editing program
    * Who knows what else, there's a lot of room for experimentation
