#include "synthmod.h" ---------- this is the sound of 8 orbit fractals modulating 24 clock sources driving 16 sine waves
http://www.jwm-art.net/o7.php?p=orbit_sound http://www.jwm-art.net/art/audio/orbit_sound.mp3 the fractals used are fairly stable... a little bit like digital machine bagpipes. netbehaviour: I don't really know why you should listen to this. What is it? It is a bunch of sine waves modulated by a fractal. Apart from having questionable relevance, it's also something probably done atleast forty years ago, I'd guess. And probably with more sophisticated synthesis. Frequency modulation? Pfff! It's the case that after producing more music-like pieces that I feel I must make some noise (something more sondhiem like). Some kind of attempt at justification. But I even fail that, to me it still sounds too musical. It does not sound not-me enough. And sound-quality wise, it is obviously generated by my program "Wav Composer Not Toilet", which maybe I should rename to "Wav Composer Noise Toilet" or something. Even so, I like what the sound does. To me it is interesting. As far as wcnt goes, I think it's about time I knuckle down and get it to use libsndfile to handle reading/writing of WAV files so that wcnt is no longer restricted to poxy 16bit output/input (internally it uses double precision floating point). I've abandonded learning complex mathematics to write my own filters, I'm not clever enough. Ie proper filters that work with poles and things. Ie digital versions of analogue filters. Ie not like what I've got at present - calculating the average value from an array of n samples - which is terribly inefficient at low frequency cut-offs and extremely imprecise at frequencies approaching the nyquist frequency. So listen to the sound if you want, or ignore it, I don't care. Whatever. It's not cutting-edge at all. It does not use Pure Data like all the cutting-edge artists do. The only cutting edge it's at is the cutting-edge of naffness. It's kinda how I feel. ---------- orbit fractal module for wcnt choice of three types: hopalong, threeply, quadrup ***parameter*** test_iterations: tests n iterations of the fractal using it's three parameters (a, b, c) 100000 is good. a scale is generated from the test to put the output into the range -1.0 to +1.0. bare in mind the fractal may not be predicatable after n iterations and thus jump around outside of the desired range the module can be triggered to reset to it's first iteration by any module with a trigger output. in order for the module to process a single iteration, it must be triggered by a trigger. generally this will be a phase trigger from some kind of clock source. the module has two outputs, out_x and out_y. *** note *** the current release of wcnt does not include this module. ---------- orbit.wc brief .descr cut it out: 8 sets of L + R channels: one set == ---->>> 1 * clock (osc_clock) to trigger iterations of orbit module this runs at 8 octaves above base note. (and frequency modulated by orbit module) 1 * orbit module output of which is to modulate the three clocks 100000 test iterations to generate good scaling factor 2 * clock (osc_clock) running two octaves below base note. these two clocks are used to drive the sine wave for left channel and sine wave for right channel. one is biased towards orbit module's out_x for frequency modulation, the other is biased toward out_y. 2 * sine wave (sine_wave) 1 for left channel, one for right channel. driven by the appropriate clocks. ----------- http://www.jwm-art.net/o7.php?p=orbit_sound http://www.jwm-art.net/art/audio/orbit_sound.mp3 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
