Noodles

This uses Surge XT for all sounds, except Saraa (Fairlight) and the bongos and toms(bundled with Cakewalk).

Originally composed by Jan Hammer for the Miami Vice soundtrack. This Noodle is a segment of less than 30 seconds, as fair use. Full-length track: https://youtu.be/lcjlnsQ9GTM

Noodle 003 - Grand Piano 2023 - Surge patch demo

A demo of my WIP Handbells patch for Surge XT. Version 2
Download the WAV for better audio.

This piece is a deliberately and clumsily over-harmonized version of my test piece, just to get a group-playing effect quickly.

The patch has performance macros:
- Fundamental: changes the emphasis from initial partials to the resonating main modes.
- Resonance: gives a strong resonance to the bells.
- Damping: changes the generation of partials and damps them quickly.
- Choir width: positions bells/players randomly but consistently, in a horseshoe formation.
- Dual strike: similar effect to players doubling up, or non-clean playing.
- Decay: changes the ring-out of bells.
