http://blue.kunstmusik.com Latest Instrument on blueShare en-US Simple instrument to record a sound to disk, and to switch it to playback that recorded soundfile. Records and plays stereo files. Options for playback are: change playback speed + starttime playback of file. example of score: i1 0 20 Menno Knevel * initial version 1.0, april 2013 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:44:53 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/189 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/189 This instrument plays images. The image must in the PNG format. The image is scanned. The three colours (red, green and blue) can be selected, in different combinations or one colour at the time, to be converted to sound. The base frequency can be set and the number of voices will set the overtones. The moogfilter can be applied to avoid aliasing when playing at higher base frequencies - or, reduce the number of voices. example of score: i1 0 20 * initial version 1, march 2013 * version 1.1, april 2013 - repaired initialization bug - show width and heigth of image - transition from raw sound (=low resolution) to clean sound (+high resolution) is fluid now - added panning Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:16:36 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/188 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/188 BdTR with extra features --------------------------------- Author: Mark Van Peteghem Based on the instrument BdTR by Atte Andr? Jensen (atte.dk), 2007 This instrument adds extra features to the instrument BdTR. It has one extra p-field, p4, that is the amplitude. If it is 0 or less it is in decibels below 0dbfs, otherwise it is multiplied with 0dbfs (so should be 1 or less). Instead of custom waveforms, it lets you choose between a sine and a triangle. For the sine you can choose the amplitude of the second harmonic, for the triangle you can choose the pulse width. Furthermore you can choose how the sine or triangle should be distorted, allowing a big variety of waveforms. The envelope type can be exponential or linear. With a linear envelope the perceived duration is closer to the one specified. An optional lowpass filter lets you adjust the tonality. The RM knob lets you optionally generate a second similar signal with a higher frequency, that is multiplied with the original signal. The volume adjust knob lets you adjust the volume so that when p4 is 1 it will actually be 0dbfs. Changing the condition 1==0 to 1==1 prints out what value should be there to achieve this (set p4 to 0 or 1 to do this).

It plays both mono and stereo files (no need to specify this) and takes the sample rate of the sample in account. There are three play modes: play once, loop, and cycle. The first two should be obvious, the third means that the sample will be used as the cycle that is repeated at audio rate, at the frequency given in p5 (pitch or frequency). The first row of UI controls has the basic stuff: distortion of the table (done once to optimize, so not automatable), reversing, selecting begin and end point to be played, begin and end speed up, stutter, optional attack and release, panning and volume adjustment. Stutter length relates to the position in the original sample, so the actual stutter length may be shorter or longer due to the speedup settings. The second row of UI controls has the more advanced stuff: - Tune adjusts the pitch of the sample, either with pvscale or with delays (based on code by Victor Lazzarini). If the pvscale method is used, the preservation of formants can be selected. The amount of pitch adjustment can be selected with the knob in octaves (when 'Octaves' is selected) or by specifying the wanted fequency in p5, if the pitch of the original sample is given in the text box (when 'Pitch in p5' is selected). Note that the perceived pitch is also affected by the speedup knobs. - Shift lets you use pvshift on the sample. - Blur lets you use pvsblur on the sample. - Smooth lets you use pvsmooth on the sample. - Downsample lets you lower the sample frequency. - Auto delay is an experimental feature that uses the sample itself to add a delay. This works best with samples that only have low frequencies, like kick drums. - Chorus adds a chorus, optionally distributing the different voices to the left and right channel. - The filter settings should be obvious. If the play mode is cycle, the speedup, stutter and tune settings are ignored. Some knobs have a text field under them. These can be used to alter the value of the knob, e.g. entering +p6 when the value of the knob is 1, the used value will be 1+p6. Sat, 25 Jun 2011 14:12:54 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/185 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/185 This is a simple instrument that uses the phaser1 or phaser2 opcode on a signal generated by the pluck opcode. The pluck opcode is in the mvpPluck UDO, which checks ipar1 and ipar2, so you don't have to worry about restrictions on these. Despite the simplicity this instrument generates very diverse and interesting sounds. Some knobs have a text field under them, these allow you to change the value (e.g. an extra p-field or a global value). Usage: p4: pitch or frequency p5: in decibels below 0dbfs if 0 or negative, otherwise amplitude as fraction of 0dbfs (0-1) Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:15:51 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/184 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/184 This instrument modulates a sine wave with the signal generated by the pluck opcode. You can optionally modulate a second time. For both you can choose between phase modulation and frequency modulation. Phase modulation usually sounds more harsh, frequency modulation usually sounds warmer. The pluck opcode is in a UDO called mvpPluck, that adjusts the parameters if necessary, so you can twiddle around with the parameters without caring about the restrictions. The frequency of the sine and the pluck signal are the requested frequency multiplied by an integer from 1 to 5. To have the requested frequency as a basic harmonic, the greatest common divisor of these two integers should of course be 1. The envelope is that of the signal created by the pluck opcode, otherwise you are left with a dull sine when the signal of the pluck opcode has died out. Some knobs have a text field under them, these allow you to change the value (e.g. an extra p-field or a global value). Usage: p4: pitch or frequency p5: in decibels below 0dbfs if 0 or negative, otherwise amplitude as fraction of 0dbfs (0-1) Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:42:28 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/183 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/183 This is a basic instrument using the pluck opcode. The pluck opcode is in a UDO called mvpPluck, that adjusts the parameters if necessary, so you can twiddle around with the parameters without caring about the restrictions. It does not allow you to choose a custom table. You can specify a release time, which is necessary if the note ends before the signal dies out by itself. I added an experimental feature: you can silence the begin of the instrument, which takes away the transients at the very beginning, producing a more monotonous but often still beautiful sound. Of course you have to take into account in your score that if you use this feature, the signal will start a little later. Usage: p4: pitch or frequency p5: in decibels below 0dbfs if 0 or negative, otherwise amplitude as fraction of 0dbfs (0-1) Sun, 27 Jun 2010 14:46:17 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/181 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/181 A supersaw is available on some synthesizers as an extra waveform, besides the familiar sine, triangle, square and saw. A supersaw is typically seven saws that are slightly detuned. I found out that you also get a nice sound if you replace a saw with a square, so I made this instrument that lets you choose between them. They are called pulse in the interface because you can select the pulse width (does not apply if saw is selected). I did not add presets because it usually sounds good, unless the lo pass knob is too low, and because it does not have that much diversity (but a nice instrument anyway). It sounds best around pitch 7.00 to 9.06, especially in chords. Usage: p4: pitch or frequency p5: in decibels below 0dbfs if 0 or negative, otherwise amplitude as fraction of 0dbfs (0-1) Example: i1 0 2 8.00 -10 i1 0 . 8.02 -10 i1 0 . 8.04 -10 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 14:11:37 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/180 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/180 Palamino v0.62 : This instrument is a work in progress.
