1st milestone. "Parade of sounds"

At this stage, samples are played for full duration, without changing parameters, in three layers. 

A sequence was created using a random number generator. 
After that, the sounds were grouped into tables.

Experiment 1 - Parade of sounds


2nd milestone.

Definitions of “cycle" and “phrase" are introduced.

Modifiable parameters are added:
p = tonality (from -12 semitones to +12)
d = sample duration (from 2 to 10 time intervals)
~ transition to the next phrase 
~ transition from the previous phrase

And there was a possibility of alternating the number of layers from 2 to 3.

It is also possible to throw in the length of pauses between samples and looping.
A milestone can contain from one or more cycles. In this case, the number 1 has fallen out, so the milestone contains one complete cycle.

The cycle is divided into phrases. The number of phrases depends on the drop-down values of the duration of the sound and the pauses between them. We got 10 phrases.

The phrase is divided into 30 equal segments. These can be seconds, minutes, sequencer grid divisions, etc. It is these segments that measure the duration of the sample sound.

Experiment 2 - Cycle_LoopDecay


3rd milestone. Delay station

It is a stage consisting of two slightly different cycles.

The range of duration of samples in each phrase is calculated individually. We also calculate the length of pauses between samples for each phrase (the second cycle). 
In the previous milestone, the possibility of switching a sample to the next phrase was considered for each sample. Here, the possibility of transition is considered for the entire phrase. 

Added the possibility of dropping the "reverse" parameter.
There is also a possibility of using the Delay effect, involving the controlled parameters mix, feedback and time, with a range of parameters from 0 to 127.

It is necessary to understand that this method of selection, calculation, recording and designation of parameters is not the only correct one.

Experiment 3 - Delay Station


The whole package of samples is randomly arranged into 15 tracks several times.

Each track has a chain of effects that works in real time. Random S&H velocity and depth parameters are assigned to the parameters of the five LFOs.

They control the parameters of the effects as well as the increasing volume.

In such an environment, despite the presence of all samples, not every sound gets a chance to sound, and the resonator and granulator change the sound beyond recognition.

Suchovik Sergey - Experiment 4 - Random Volume / Granula / Feedback effects

The whole package of samples is arranged in random order several times.

Each track has a chain of effects that works in real time. 

Random S&H velocity and depth parameters are assigned to the parameters of the five LFOs.

They control the parameters of the effects, as well as the increasing volume.
In parallel, a chain of granulator and reverb effects works, into which bursts of sound fragments fall and, based on the incoming sound fragment, it is excited by feedbacks going against the background.

acanthostega - Experiment 6 - aleatoric regress 

The experimental drone/noise/post-industrial project from Russia acanthostega presents to you its vision of working with the material collected for the first series of sound collages. 

97 sounds from 131 were selected.
The composition is built in three layers, as follows:

Layer 1:
Sounds are sampled randomly, according to a simple rhythmic pattern - at a rate of 240 samples per minute. Each sample sounds for 1.77 seconds, with a natural attenuation of the amplitude.

Layer 2:
Sounds are sampled at a rate of 60 samples per minute. At the same time, samples are played backwards. The attenuation time of each fragment is 3.83 seconds. If the sample is shorter, it is played back and forth. 

Layer 3:
Sampling sounds at a rate of 480 samples per minute. The attenuation time of each fragment is 1.26 seconds. The frequency of each sample is modulated by a descending sawtooth lfo at a speed of 8 Hz.
 
Also, in the process, some elements were controlled manually:
switching tracks on/off, randomness mode (either random sampling or alternately forward), sample sampling range (width and reference point), as well as the probability of triggering triggers.

Of the effects, only a small amount of reverberation was used on one track. (c)
