Description

DESCRIPTION: 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 A uses the adsynt opcode. The A in the name represents 'adsynt'. scheme: FTMORF ---------ADSYNT --------(FILTER)--------(PHASER)--------(SWELL)------OUTPUT note example: i2 0 0.8 60 1.0 ; P4 = midi value, P5 = amplitude i2 0 0.2 261.625565 1.0 ; P4 = frequency, P5 = amplitude CONTROLLERS: see the help balloon when hovering over the controllers in the instrument. Help can be turned off by pressing the 'I' button next to the play bar. --- version 2.2, November 2020 - added filter - added ADSR graphic envelope - added P4 frequency/Midi pitch option version 2.1, November 2019 - added 3 ADSRs version 2.0, octobre 2019 - new GUI (more compact) - renaming BSBs - # of voices and Harmonic Ratio can be changed in between Objects 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 - special effects section (copied and adapted from the Csound manual (adsynt example)) - 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
