This is a rough Csound implementation of the "shakers" patch on page 97 of Rick Snoman's Dance Music Manual. I wrote this as part of a month-long project to work everyday on a güiro synth patch.  You can follow by progress (or lack thereof) on my blog: http://guiromyhero.wordpress.com

Shakers - Day 8

This is the output of a Csound güiro patch that passes two triangle waves through a ring modulator and adds some white noise to this.  Then, all of this is passed through a high-pass filter whose cut-off frequency is modulated by an LFO at the same time that it rises exponentially as the patch progresses.  This is part of a month-long project where I work every day on güiro synth patches, and blog about it here: http://www.guiromyhero.wordpress.com

Day 9 - Güiro

As part of NYC's Fun-a-Day, I am working a little each day throughout the month of February to write the perfect güiro synth patch. I’m documenting my struggles in a blog (http://guiromyhero.wordpress.com,) and uploading little snippets of my progress on Soundcloud.  Enjoy.

Güiro, my Hëro
