The Evolver instruments are created because i was looking for string/pad sounds and textures that could evolve in time, with (small or radical) variations in timbre. The instruments are of a modular design, built with ftmorf as a basis module; so you can stream fluidly from one timbre to another within a single note. Other standard modules in these instruments are: Phaser, Swell, Output. The Evolver Type F uses the foscili opcode. The F in the name "Type F" stands for 'foscili'. scheme: FTMORF ---------FOSCIL --------(PHASER)--------(SWELL)------OUTPUT mono/stereo I l I l I l ( LFOs for INDEX ) (LFOs for phasing) version 1, december 2017 - choose from a list of timbre presets - evolve from one timbre to another up to 16 sounds, forwards or backwards - scale fuction to scale wavesequencer sounds over the note - determine where to start the scaling in the note - morphing can also be done manually by drawing an Automation Line (wavedraw) - mono or stereo with setting different seed values with XY controller for Left and Right channel - dirt gives the Index of the FM irragular accents - Amplitude Modulation is optional - phaser effect implemented with on/off switch and mixing, lots of options to slowly evolve the timbre even more - Swell for amplitude to give an amp accent in the note score in Generic Object may look like: i1 0 2 190 1 where p4 = freq p5 = amp (0-1)

FM_Clang Cabbage original written by Iain McCurdy, 2014 Blue Instrument version translated and extended by Steven Yi, 2017.10.06 ============ DESCRIPTION ============ An FM synthesis based instrument that specialises in creating percussive metallic 'clang'-like sounds. AMPLITUDE - controls pertaining to the control of each notes amplitude Level - Global amplitude control Attack - Attack time. Actually just a small range of control but increasing it can soften the attack subtly Vel.Att. - Degree to which lower note velocities lengthen attack time. Duration - Duration of the overall amplitude decay. Note that depending on other settings notes may actually sound for a shorter time. Sustain - Similar to the effect of a sustain pedal being depressed. MODULATOR - controls pertaining to the modulator in the FM algorithm Ratio - Ratio of the modulator frequency to that of the carrier. Vel.Index - Index of modulation. This is also always dependent upon note velocity. Decay - Rate of decay of the index. This is heard as the rate of loss of spectral energy or damping. CARRIER - controls pertaining to the carrier in the FM algorithm Kyb.Scale - Keyboard scaling of the carrier frequency. Zero means that frequencies follow normal keyboard temperament. Values less than zero mean that frequency intervals from note to note will be compressed. Values greater than zero mean that frequency intervals from note to note will be expanded. DETUNE - Two FM carrier/modulator pairings can be created with a detuning offset between them to create beating effects. Detuning will also be unique (and repeatable) from note to note to give the instrument character. Mix - Amplitude of the second FM pair. This will control the amplitude of beating (amplitude modulation) effects resulting from the detuning. Amount - Amplitude of the detuning intervals STEREO - A stereo broadening effect by applying short delays to the left and right channels. The exact durations of the delays will be unique (and repeatable) from note to note to give the instrument character. Dry/Wet - A dry/wet control of this effect Width - A control of the durations of the delays which is heard as a control of the stereo width of the effect. NOISE - Filtered gaussian noise can be added to the modulator ratio to add discordancy to the tone. Amount - Amplitude of the gaussian noise signal Filter - Narrowness of the bandpass filtering applied to the gaussian noise Follow Modulator (checkbox) - Selects whether the bandpass filter follows the modulator frequency. If 'off' it simply follows the carrier frequency. LFO - A sine shaped LFO added to the modulator ratio of an auxilliary FM pair which is then mixed to an unmodulated pair. This can introduce spectral modulation, as in a bell swinging back and forth as it rings. Mix - Amount of modulated signal mixed into the output. Depth - Depth of the LFO modulation. Rate - Rate of the LFO modulation. Kybd.Follow - Extend to which the rate of LFO modulation follows keyboard notes - keyboard following means that lower notes will modulate at lower frequencies, higher notes will modulate at higher frequencies. FILTER - Filtering of the sound LPF - A lowpass filter that follows the fundemental frequency of the FM pair Filter Fundemental (checkbox) - If active, the fundemental will be filtered off. REVERB - a reverb effect using the freeverb opcode USE MIDI PFIELDS - Allow working with p4=MIDI Key (0-127), p5=MIDI Vel (0-127), or with p4=PCH or Freq, p5 = amdbfs [-96, 0] ========= REQUIRES ========= * Blue 2.7.1 * Csound 6+ ======== HISTORY ======== v1.1 * Reworked ftable generation into instrument code to make instrument encapsulated v1.0 * Translated to Blue from Cabbage, added non-MIDI value pfield operation of instrument

Palamino v0.62 : This instrument is a work in progress. Note that the Hi-Hat and Chrumpet patch has been reproduced as static ftables. All pfields from p6 and up are optional. Use a value of -1 in the score to access default (GUI) settings. - Dec. 16, 2009 : turned off automation on widgets to fix Csound API incompatibility inst strt dur amp fq bfn cmfn vdel vrel vdepth vrate pan cfn efn mfn rfn

Fossil v0- This synth is a simple single oscillator foscili-based monophonic FM synth, that is controlled entirely via automation. - Brian Wong, October 2009

A simple fm synth with custom sine wave table size. Use low values (256 for example) to get some sweet oldschool aliasing. You should probably examine the source to understand how it works as labels by the knobs arent very descriptive.
