Week 10

Creative Computing: Duplication

It is a method for duplicating the signal which gets sent to the next bus, hence acheiving a stereo signal from a mono channel.
Out.ar(bus: 0,channelsArray: signal.dup == signal sent to bus[0,1]

Some very interesting points were covered in the class really to do with using arrays to generate massive amount of data with very simple code.

Array.series( range,start, increment)
Array.series(10,1,1) * $1(any variable),
Multiplying by 2 - gives even harmonics ,
multiplying by 3 will give 3rd harmonics,
multiplying by 5 will give 5th harmonics and so on..
multiplying by 44oHertz will give octaves of A

Array.geom(5,1,3) == geometric harmonic
Array.geom(10,1,3) %5 == weirdo using modulo
Array.fill(3,"hello world") == 3 * string name

CODE : "Exercise" :Creation of a large synthesiser assembly using the concept of duplication.
(1) MIDI Input and playback
(2) A synthesiser definition incorporating carriers, modulators and modifiers created using large scale duplication
(3)An effects synthDef
(4) The synthDefs will be organised so the main synthesizer definition will have its output routed through an effects synthDef.
Mp3 result

Audio Arts : Creative Production (2)






The whole hour was dedicated looking at AD2022 - Avalon's fourth generation fully discrete,symmetrical Pure class A microphone preamplifier.

I tried couple of things to try this long awaited piece of hardware.My initial experiment failed cause everything I tried resulted in feedback.I was trying to take the audio out from protools into Avalon and then record the mix back into protools.Taking the Auxillary out from the C24 to Avalon and recording that in protools didnt work either.How can I send the master to Protools 3&4 out as well, so that I can take those outs and send it through Avalon ??
Well I was not muting the 2 new tracks that were assigned to record the mix.The signal which was played back was recorded as well and played back too while recording.. Hence feedback ..
I simplified the things and used my computer to play back the mix and recorded that onto protools using Avalon's front panel unbalanced inputs.

Mix of 3F+1m : Here is the mix of the group I recorded.
I have used Avalon to record the vocals and then I sent the whole mix through Avalon.The mix you are hearing is [(MixNoVoicewithout Avalon + Voice) + Mixwith AvalonVoice + Voice].bounce;

For comparison,hear the old ones.
No Voice : Older mix with no voice without Avalon
With Voice : Older Mix with voice without Avalon

Forum :
Words replacing colors.Whats the term when you start seeing words as colors, alphabets become pixels and sentences form shapes ? I am suffering from that.
In this life let me hear sounds and see words.

*(all I want to say for this weeks forum)
