Manauton is a program used to digitally record sound. Manauton can operate in a manual or autonomous mode, hence the name Manauton. When in manual mode, recording can be paused and unpaused with a key-press or remote control. This is similar to a tape recorder, but with a difference, there is no latency! As a matter of fact, Manauton works with negative latency. This negative latency cancels out the effect of the human latency associated with hearing a sound interpreting it and reacting to the sound. Negative latency is accomplished by buffering the sound in memory prior to recording to disk.

This program listens for sound. If it detects any, it starts recording automatically and also automatically stops when things become silent again.

This program transforms the images and the sounds using single BIG Fourier Transforms (or DCT/DST,etc.). It produces very interesting and strange effects and allows you to transform sounds to images and vice-versa.
