Speaking of new weird "non-traditional" computer music things, a couple of posts on Muff's turned me on to CDP -- Composers' Desktop Project -- and I've been geeking out on that this week pretty hardcore. If you're down with things like SuperCollider, Csound, Faust, or similar, you'll probably like/"get" CDP. It's not a language like those, but it is a set of weird command line tools (with optional free and paid GUIs). Effortpost forthcoming.

sliderule posted:Do you have schematics? This is all you need: Basically connect any of the IC legs to another but don't touch the ones marked -/+ Put switches/jacks etc between points The basic waves are 1-40, squares being 33-37, theres no PWM if thats what you mean.

I just meant that none of the pulse waves sounded nice. Guess I've found a temporary use for the spare patch bay. Once I figure out which are the *nice* pin combinations, I'll rig up some toggle switches. Thanks!

Looks like the Aira series got a big update, which could be either interpreted as Roland listening to feedback, or Roland releasing incomplete products. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYCZJAEMQgk

a_big_dog posted:Definitely - I've already written a thing to sort-of emulate this Jim O'Rourke track which almost certainly uses SC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsZD-MBRMU0 - which was kinda the reason I wanted to jump in. Hmmph, I didn't know Jim O'Rourke was into SC. Huge Sonic Youth fan, but I've not explored any of his other work until hearing that track above, which I dig. I've not played with Supercollider directly, only through Overtone. Overtone is fun because it's Clojure which supports functional programming and multi-threading, which are things I play with at my day job, but musical. Lately I've been playing with sample buffers in Max/MSP and ChucK. The sounds that can be made by resizing a sample buffer, going from a loop to a single hit to grains. I'd be curious to hear what sort of techniques you used to emulate that O'Rourke track.

Just got an email from Waldorf that Streichfett is shipping. Not listed yet on Sweetwater, and still flagged as pre-order on JRRShop. But I'll be losing that money as soon as I find whom to give it to. EDIT: Also, last night I finally installed all the monstrum editors for Blofeld, Pulse 2, and Rocket. All three synths are pretty much a breeze to program from the hardware, but these editors- while quirky- are pretty handy, and anything that keeps me from having to get up from my chair and walk over to the HW synths will keep me working.

Ahhh, haven't touched Clojure - I've mostly found SuperCollider pretty simple so far because it's quite Ruby-ish and my day job is Ruby web development. For the O'Rourke stuff, I haven't quite gone far enough yet - here's a screenshot of what I was playing around with a couple of days ago: It very very badly needs refactoring and I am itching to improve it, haven't yet found the time! Thinking about storing random samples from the buffer, storing it in a pattern and looping that. I dunno. My mind gets ahead of my skill, which is both good and bad I suppose. I'd love a dedicated SuperCollider thread (sorry to the analog purists in here) but I guess there aren't enough of us! Edit: that wchoose in the image is broken. Didn't save after I fixed it oops

Pretty interested in hearing about these sorts of niche softwares. I've messed with PD and that's about it, I'd really like to hear about CDP in particular. I've been playing with the sfz format lately, you can do some cool stuff with text files and basic waves.

This Expert Sleepers Disting module is probably the coolest modular thing I've seen since learning about the Echophon. Awesome demo of all the different functions too, all 30 minutes of it. This, some Intellijel, and a Turing Machine would probably be all I'll ever need https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IJsGzld788

I'm still hugely impressed that Waldorf had the balls to put something as niche as the Streichfett to market, and for what it is, it sounds great. Given the philosophical constraints of what constitutes a string machine, they could hardly do any better.

I recommend the Norberg festival if anyone of you get the budget and the will to go to Sweden. I've got contacts among arrangers and staff if you think you could possibly be desired to perform there, or hold a work-shop, and that PO-12 is a beautiful beast.

Well that's definitely their firmware development method. God drat I like the idea of the Streichfett, really want to try one in person rather than buying blind though.

Sup fellow Ruby buddy. I'm currently writing distributed systems using Celluloid and JRuby, fun stuff! I wouldn't recommend a dedicated SC thread, but maybe an SC, Overtone, PD, Max/MSP, ChucK, STK and other music programming thread. I know that the Max/MSP thread recently got eaten up by archives, and it had posts every so often.

Sonicstate had a walkthrough on the new Modulus 002 and it's a high end synth () but it has some really cool features that I thought were interesting. Specifically the ability to actually edit your patches or sequences via a web browser and have them pushed to your synth. Even better is that this small company is open sourcing it to hopefully have other companies implement this feature as well. It could be a huge feature if it becomes popular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7Hdb0hDL4E

My CZ-101 battery mod came in the mail yesterday (the one from artefacts.nl). Gonna install it on Sunday. Which means I'll have a CZ-101 with a backlit screen which I can unplug without loosing my patches on. The only other thing I can think to do to it would be to make a diy ram cart.

In learned order: BASIC, C, C++, Java, Perl, Javascript, C#/.net, Python, Dart In practical use: Python There are a handful of other languages I've dabbled in (Erlang, R, Forth, Ruby), or had to use for a single project (Lua, a dozen other scripting languages), but I don't remember enough of any of them to develop in them. I find the more notable metric is which paradigms you're able to employ. Really what I know well is the imperative/procedural, object oriented, generic, and metaprogramming paradigms. I get the functional paradigm, but I couldn't sit down and really hammer out something functionally the way I can procedurally.

Not exactly synthesis related, but I've written a handful of tools for song composition with the Python library Mingus. It doesn't do everything perfectly and the code base hasn't changed in years, but it's cool for what it does. Tools created: Progression suggestion engine Guitar tab to sheet music / notes Sheet music to chord names Those tools are currently in limbo though, having lost the MBP they were on to liquid damage. Due to something with the OS upgrade chain I followed, I can't access that home directory from any computer I attach the drive to. Also, the big project I keep sidelining is a 6-operator Phase Modulation (FM) sound mimicry engine. The idea is you feed it a waveform and it approximates that sound with FM, spitting out the DX7 algorithm / operator configuration parameters. It currently works for static, harmonic waveforms, and it's going to be a long road to evolving ones. I've built rainbow tables of the spectrum distribution of all possible (simple) configurations of DX7 voices minus any envelopes, but now I need to find some way to map vectors through those tables and derive envelope settings for evolving waveforms. The envelopes can be really fast and might have amplitude resolution greater than 11 bits though, so I don't know if my existing tables are good enough and oh god where do I start?
