For me this piece is extremely expressive, with a wistful air, and weaves a delicate and nuanced sound evolution from sounds with a very small number of harmonics -- many thanks for an excellent piece!

Verbos HO -compiled-

Piano Study

something simple tonight… 

sine waves ….. from the verbos harmonic oscillator

with individual control inputs for 8 harmonic sine waves.. not to mention individual outputs and various spread and tilt controls..

this is just the tip of the iceberg. a very simple demonstration of some of the evolving patterns that can be created.

the verbos is being modulated by 5 LFOs.

harmonic sheets…. (i feel this could be explored more, honed more.. this is quite rough. but, hey, this whole sound diary is supposed to be rough)

sound sources:
mutable instruments braids
verbos harmonic oscillator
modified serge resonant eq / feedback

processing:
univox tape echo

continuing the idea of leaving the synth patched overnight and using it again the same way the next time…. this sound is set up the same way as the previous.. just with different settings, different LFOs, etc.

i think i'm approaching what looks like a really effective little live rig…

this is the verbos harmonic oscillator again controlled by 5 LFOs.. some filtering and the phonogene.

June 17, 2014 (like yesterday, but different / verbos harmonic oscillator)

i set out to do something simple tonight and it worked well and quickly. a moskwa sequencer triggering a circuit abbey adsr which controls the main level of an intellijel linix vca.

the primary sound source is the verbos harmonic oscillator whose various sine waves are being controlled by 5 LFOs from an intellijel dr. octature ii. there's an oscillator layer, too, the more shimmering high sound, from an intellijel shapeshifter.

the pitches being sent from the moskwa sequencer are being quantized by an intellijel uScale and the whole mix is going through a synthrotek eko module and finally a reverb on an eventide h3000.

with the right notes and a bit more tweaking on the sound this could be a pretty good foundation.

Dhrupad: para Éliane Radigue

Self-oscillating, no-input improvisation with the Make Noise Erbe Verb. This was the only sound source, with knobs adjusted in real time, to explore the range of tones that are possible. Only patching was the CV out set to pull down the Decay, which was set to 9 o'clock.

RUIDOZ, the mad sample mangler is back with new sounds and enhanced features !
RUIDOZ V.2 is a beat generator based on the randomization of samples events. This sound design instrument can create rhythmical sequences and a wide variety of sound textures. 
It’s also a collection of 340 micro samples that aim to be part of rhythmic kits. 

RUIDOZ is organized with a step sequencer that triggers one sound on every gate events. Nothing new here, apart that when the random mode is enable, this process creates an interesting flux of sample changes. 
An ADSR enveloppe, a filter, an auto pan, a compressor and a reverb are here to sculpt the basic shapes.  
These mutant sequences can also be manipulated in realtime with the 2 included Auto FX.  Every effect processors have 2 parameters which can be modulated and these modulations can be recorded in live. 

Included in the ensemble, a collection of 340 sound samples. Compared to the previous version, it’s an addition of 212 new pieces of electric charges, of liquid flows, of wood and metallic impacts…
All is ready for producing original glitchy beats, noisy percussions rhythms and either soundscapes, HUD sounds, semi harmonic phrases and mechanical riffs. 

RUIDOZ comes with a consequent bulk of presets. 
13 Banks and 354 snapshots in total, to get detailed examples of how it sounds and of instant materials for your productions. 
This percussive virtual machine could answer to your needs if you want to add originals and randoms colors to your music.  

For exemple, RUIDOZ can take place on the background of your main beat (Kick+Snare) or is well suited for building a rhythmical base that will transform the atmosphere of your whole track, especially if you are looking for unstable grooves, wonky beats, multi percussion lines with the charm of an organic resonance. 

All the samples come from a huge collection of micro sampling I did over past recorded improvisation and field recordings.  
Enjoy the intuitive and compact new graphic interface which is following the original design but in a flatter way.

MAIN FEATURES :

- 4 sample engines with SPEED, GRAIN, SMOOTH, PITCH parameters.
- 340 one shot samples embed in 4 maps.
- 13 Banks and 354 snapshots.
- Modulate PITCH value with a 4 shapes LFO (Pulse, Triangle, Sin and Random).
- ADSR enveloppe.
- Step sequencer with up to 16 steps - time signature from 1/1 to 1/64 - Swing & offset position -  4 directions
- 3 random modes for Sample selection, Map Selection and Random Step.
- 2 auto fx modules with X/Y surface to control parameters and playback/record functions
- 20 effects embed in Auto Fx module. (Only one can process the signal at time in each modules) 
- List of effects : Scratch, Stutter, Pitchshifter, Bit Reducer, Ring Modulator, Distortion, Looper, UFO, Space, Reflection, Feedback, Resonator, Freq Mod, Flanger, Vowel, Phaser, Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass and Reverse.
- Auto Pan Stereo
- Compressor
- Space Reverb
- Main Filter with 7 modes and controlled by aX/Y axis pad.
- View B with a compact interface, essential control elements, Bank and Snapshot browser knobs.
