Sound Effect "Glitch Machine"
Cimmerman, Matej ; Mošner, Ladislav (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
This thesis addresses software music effects and their implementation. It shows design and implementation of the Glitch Machine, which belongs to the music multieffect programs and demonstrates the simultaneous use of various music effects to process audio signals. The result is a program for Windows OS, which utilizes cooperation of various effects, namely a filter, reverb, distortion, extractor, reverz, stutter, shifter, pitch resample and gain. It allows extensive and detailed editing of an audio track and a higher extent of manipulation with sounds, than with single music effects. Other components of the program include visualisations of the waveform and frequency spectrum of audio signals and an option for loading and saving effect presets. The program was tested in tests of the performance and memory usage and also with user testing of quality and graphical interface.

First part of the thesis concentrates on theoretical foundations of Benveniste's thought in the school of Paris (A. Meillet and M. Bréal), Prague (R. Jakobson and V. Skalička) and Copenhagen (texts around 1939). I point out the concept of language system in diachrony in A. Meillet's thinking and in Prague school and present a hypothesis about the role of Émile Bneveniste in their contact during the International congresses of linguists. This results into a description of the perspective of meaning as it was presented in Benveniste's 1962 lecture "Levels of linguistic analysis". Second part deals with Benveniste's concept linguistics of discours. First chapter explains the main concepts of Benveniste's theory of language: semiotics and semantics or the semiotical and the semantical (le/la sémiotique, sémantique), enunciation (énonciation), appropriation (appropriation) and the theory...
