As a homage to my ever present musical companion, my tinnitus, I decided to make a track completely composed of sine waves.
Therefore I created a small Reaktor 6 ensemble called "Sinusitis", which is based just on one sine wave oscillator. Additionally I used a lot of effects and some noise from my Jomox Moonwind.

Meditation On A Tinnitus In A Minor

This was made for a remix contest of a track by Analog Kitchen:

Not quite sure what genre it is. Probably dark melodic glitch techno or something. In fact, I've made so many little glitch samples for this that I've make a glitch sample pack out of them:

A YouTube video will follow in a while, I have to think about what to do here, because it wasn't a live performance.

Decompression (M4S Remix)

Song for the #ObjektChallenge of the Objekt synth from Reason Studios. All sounds are made exclusively with this synth.

So, Reason Studios has a contest looking for tracks using their new Objekt Synth.  Frankly, I suck at additive synthesis, so this is a combination of presets -- some tweaked, some not -- and some randomized settings in Objekt.

Built in FLStudio using the Reason Rack Plugin, all of the sounds come from Objekt with some effects coming from both the Reason rack and other plugins.

For some reason, no matter how many times I export this thing, one of the acoustic bass patches fails to trigger at least once... so, at this point, since it's just in the intro, I'm not gonna bother much more with it.

Bad Heist

Check out 'Speed of Light', my entry into the Objekt song challenge.

I crafted this bad boy entirely on Reason Studio's shiny new physical modelling synth, Objekt. This track is all about pushing the boundaries and seeing what Objekt can really do. It's a groovy mix of beats and melodies, all made with this wicked cool synth. I had a blast playing with the sounds, twisting and tweaking until I got just the right vibe.

So kick back, give 'Speed of Light' a listen, and get ready to experience the fresh future of Synthesis. Enjoy!

I've been looking for a home for this melody for awhile. The Reason Object Challenge was the perfect occasion to develop it and try to make it big. Art by Rob Jackson.

The sound chip, named Paula, supports four PCM-sample-based sound channels (two for the left speaker and two for the right) with 8-bit resolution for each channel and a 6-bit volume control per channel. The analog output is connected to a low-pass filter, which filters out high-frequency aliases when the Amiga is using a lower sampling rate (see Nyquist frequency). The brightness of the Amiga's power LED is used to indicate the status of the Amiga's low-pass filter. The filter is active when the LED is at normal brightness, and deactivated when dimmed (or off on older A500 Amigas). On Amiga 1000 (and first Amiga 500 and Amiga 2000 model), the power LED had no relation to the filter's status, and a wire needed to be manually soldered between pins on the sound chip to disable the filter. Paula can read directly from the system's RAM, using direct memory access (DMA), making sound playback without CPU intervention possible.

Although the hardware is limited to four separate sound channels, software such as OctaMED uses software mixing to allow eight or more virtual channels, and it was possible for software to mix two hardware channels to achieve a single 14-bit resolution channel by playing with the volumes of the channels in such a way that one of the source channels contributes the most significant bits and the other the least.

The quality of the Amiga's sound output, and the fact that the hardware is ubiquitous and easily addressed by software, were standout features of Amiga hardware unavailable on PC platforms for years. Third-party sound cards exist that provide DSP functions, multi-track direct-to-disk recording, multiple hardware sound channels and 16-bit and beyond resolutions. A retargetable sound API called AHI was developed allowing these cards to be used transparently by the OS and software.

This account is a sandbox for random late night muck-arounds with music.  There's no guarantee of the quality of the mix or the music itself.  The mastering in particular you'll have to forgive.  I just don't have an ear for it.
