nick's week
anything I made this week will be in the protected folder if you want to take a look
- made a simple wind generator using noise~ and bp~
- created a simple summative synth, modifiable with vcf~, practicing throw~/catch~ and s/r to make patches neater
I'm wondering about the implementation of subpatches and when they are useful. I know they generally allow for a visually cleaner patch, but do they also function sort of like user created classes in python? I've yet to try creating one because they are a little confusing to me... (2/5/17)
Lysha's Week
- Primarily (at least in terms of the work I have to show) I combined/expanded the random noise generator and sequencer tests from last week.
- I wanted to make things more melodious so I researched and added midi note/pitch values, kept all within a scale (C Mixo).
- I then discovered how I can send this information via MIDI to VST synths I have on my machine (you will notice that the patch doesn't work fully unless you have a synth setup to sound the melody) so I of course had to try this out...works lovely.
- I also added a few extensions/add-ons, and implemented them (namely freeverb)
- Finally I added a simple pitch LFO on the drone generator.
- I'll just upload stuff here, as I have nothing to protect:)
I think I mostly failed at achieving the somewhat set out tasks we talked about (ie shaping noise + choosing a type of synthesis to learn from the text), but that said it felt productive. I fear I might be skipping elemental understandings at time and falling into old patterns of guessing and checking, but for the most part it was a good week. I plan to get a bit more familiar with the text in the week to come.
