# TSM Real-Time

A Python library for **real-time audio time-scale modification** using advanced DSP techniques including Phase Vocoder (PV) and Overlap-Add (OLA) methods.

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/tsm-realtime.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/tsm-realtime)
[![Python 3.8+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.8+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

## Features

- **Real-time audio processing** with interactive controls
- **Multiple time-stretching algorithms**:
  - Phase Vocoder (PV) with baseline and lookup methods
  - Overlap-Add (OLA) processing
  - Hybrid approaches combining PV and OLA
- **Harmonic/Percussive source separation** using librosa
- **Interactive keyboard controls** for real-time tempo adjustment
- **Modular design** with reusable TSM functions
- **Cross-platform support** (Windows, macOS, Linux)

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install tsm-realtime
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/HMC-MIR/TSMRealTime.git
cd TSMRealTime
pip install -e .
```

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
import tsm_realtime

# Create TSM processor instance
tsm = tsm_realtime.TSMRealTime()

# Play audio with real-time controls
tsm.play_hps_full("path/to/your/audio.wav")
```

### Interactive Controls

When running the audio processing, use these keyboard controls:

- **↑ (Up Arrow)**: Increase time-stretch factor (alpha)
- **↓ (Down Arrow)**: Decrease time-stretch factor (alpha)  
- **Ctrl+C**: Stop playback

### Advanced Usage

```python
# Use lookup-based method for better performance
tsm.play_hps_lookup("audio.wav", beta=0.25)

# The beta parameter controls the overlap factor for lookup analysis
# Lower values (0.1-0.3) provide better performance
# Higher values (0.4-0.8) provide better quality
```

## API Reference

### TSMRealTime Class

#### Methods

- `play_hps_full(filename)`: Play audio using hybrid baseline method
- `play_hps_lookup(filename, beta=0.25)`: Play audio using hybrid lookup method
- `generate_lookup(beta, xh)`: Generate lookup tables for efficient processing
- `phase_vocoder_full(xh, Ha_PV, prev_phase)`: Complete phase vocoder analysis
- `phase_vocoder_lookup(...)`: Phase vocoder using precomputed tables
- `ola_process(xp, Ha_ola)`: Overlap-Add processing for percussive components

#### Parameters

- `alpha`: Time-stretch factor (1.0 = normal speed, >1.0 = faster, <1.0 = slower)
- `beta`: Overlap factor for lookup analysis (default: 0.25)
- `sr`: Sampling rate (default: 22050 Hz)

## Requirements

### System Dependencies

- **Python**: 3.8 or higher
- **PortAudio**: Required for audio I/O
  - macOS: `brew install portaudio`
  - Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev`
  - Windows: Usually included with PyAudio wheels

### Python Dependencies

- `numpy>=1.20.0`
- `scipy>=1.7.0`
- `pyaudio>=0.2.11`
- `librosa>=0.9.0`
- `pydub>=0.25.0`

## Algorithm Details

### Phase Vocoder (PV)
- Processes harmonic components of audio
- Maintains phase continuity for natural sound
- Supports both real-time and lookup-based processing

### Overlap-Add (OLA)
- Handles percussive components efficiently
- Provides good quality for transient sounds
- Lower computational complexity

### Hybrid Approach
- Combines PV for harmonics and OLA for percussives
- Achieves optimal balance of quality and performance
- Automatic source separation using median filtering

## Performance Notes

- **Lookup method**: Faster processing, slightly lower quality
- **Full method**: Higher quality, more computational overhead
- **Real-time performance**: Optimized for interactive use
- **Memory usage**: Moderate, depends on audio length and beta parameter

## Examples

### Example 1: Basic Real-time Processing

```python
import tsm_realtime

# Initialize processor
tsm = tsm_realtime.TSMRealTime()

# Play with real-time tempo control
print("Playing audio. Use ↑/↓ arrows to adjust tempo, Ctrl+C to stop")
tsm.play_hps_full("sample.wav")
```

### Example 2: High-Performance Processing

```python
# Use lookup method for better performance
tsm.play_hps_lookup("sample.wav", beta=0.2)
```

### Example 3: Custom Processing Pipeline

```python
import librosa
import tsm_realtime

# Load and preprocess audio
x, sr = librosa.load("sample.wav", mono=True, sr=22050)
tsm = tsm_realtime.TSMRealTime()

# Generate lookup tables for efficient processing
xh, xp = tsm._harmonic_percussive_separation(x, sr)
S_phase, S_mag, w_if, Ha_lookup = tsm.generate_lookup(0.25, xh)

# Process with custom parameters
# ... (advanced usage)
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**PyAudio installation fails:**
```bash
# macOS
brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudio

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
pip install pyaudio

# Windows
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio
```

**Audio playback issues:**
- Ensure audio drivers are properly installed
- Check that the audio file format is supported
- Try different audio backends if available

**Performance issues:**
- Use lookup method (`play_hps_lookup`) for better performance
- Reduce `beta` parameter for faster processing
- Ensure sufficient system resources
