harmonic oscillatorinstrument · 1.3 · four voices · mpe · more
An additive instrument. Eight partials stand on one fundamental and are mixed with eight level dials. A scan window can select partials instead, an eight step sequencer can strike them one at a time, and two reverbs sit at the end.Four voices; a fifth note takes the place of the oldest one. Played from an MPE controller such as Push, every finger shapes its own voice with pressure, slide and bend.manual (pdf)
magnetismoaudio effect · 1.2 · more
A twisted take on the classic resonant equalizer. Ten bands whose centres do not move, from 29 Hz to 11 kHz, every step between them a major seventh.The bands do not run in parallel. They share one mixing bus, so a dial changes what the other nine do. At centre the device is flat, bit for bit; past three o’clock a band narrows and rings on.manual (pdf)
caosmidi effect · 1.2 · more
caos listens to the notes passing through it and plays them back a little differently every few bars. The dice are rolled once per cycle, not once per note, so every pass is another version of the same figure rather than jitter.With scale on listen, everything it plays is built from notes that were actually played. chaos says how much happens, palette says what it may happen with.manual (pdf)
logicinstrument · 1.1 · more
A drum machine made of sine waves and logic. Four clock sources make simple on and off patterns. Each of the four voices combines two of them with a logic function: and, or, xor and their relatives. Where the result is true, the voice is struck.The voices are struck sine waves that can bend and fold each other. At the end the sum runs through a drive stage with ten shapes and a stereo plate reverb.manual (pdf)
ninetiesaudio effect · 1.4 · more
Four stages in a row. sampler lowers bits and sample rate like an old sampler. glitch replays slices of a running memory on the beat grid, from plain stutters to old, reversed, transposed and misread memory.hall is an early digital reverb with five programs, a lower sample rate and fewer bits. tape adds saturation, wow, flutter, age and hiss. mix blends the dry input with all four stages.manual (pdf)
