Day four done. Tonight's patch by @voxelith sounds like you're in an underground tavern teeming with life. There doesn't seem to be a bottom that you can tell. How far does it go? This one is titled "Delve."

P.S. I would've helped but I had previous engagements. I did the posting 🤷‍♂️

its just random midi notes, sorry i mean "aleatory chromaticism", from SuperCollider 2 playing a Volca FM pad into Monotron Delay for some space and crunch

apparently #SuperCollider turns 30 years old this year. i dont know when exactly but happy anniversary to my favorite music programming language

Proof of life. :)

I designed this as a little interlude to live inside another song that needed a fantasy-style divergence. I'm not 100% sure it will work for that yet, but either way, I kinda like it!

Moog Subharmonicon + Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2. Same basic patch as my previous contribution (see post), with a different slant on the note content. https://alisonwilder.com/oops-i-did-a-modular/

Radio Violetta, a broken tube radio

#weekOfPatching #day4

A slide show blending from one image to another. On top of the slides are animated simple geometric shapes.

SuperCollider is sending messages to announce when a new shape should becomes visible. The most visually striking filter in the signal chain is an outline detection filter. Outlines are calculated by OpenCV. They are visually enhanced and blended with the upstream visual signal.

Reason 2.5 rack patch (no sequencer tracks) on iBook G3. two Malströms controlled by four Matrixes + two Redrums. i put different step counts on everything so things dont really sync up. thats how you know its Intelligent Dance Music

in the background is nature's own patch (birds heard through the window)

i need to sleep

Day three complete. Tonight's patch by @voxelith and I sounds like something a plant may hear after the rain has stopped and the last drops are falling. This one is titled "Xylem."

#WeekOfPatching day 3 has been a bit of a journey for me.

I tried a couple things & threw them away because I wasn't into them.

But then I realized, wait these are supposed to be experiments, so maybe I should actually just roll with stuff even if I don't like it. Oops!

Anyway, round 3 & I have come up with this. It's a bit silly--I wanted to feed 3 voices the same pattern of offset values, but have them multiply it by different pitch step sizes, so they'd not quite run parallel to each other

Open Theremin is out of the drawer and more or less functioning as I remember. It has midi and CV (can't really overstate how cool even this relatively old version of Open Theremin is) but today I'm just using audio out. With this kind of setup you can't really do melodic things with it as it needs a lot more space to form a large enough magnetic field to put an octave in your hand, but it's very well suited to acting as a fun controller for filters, pitch shifting other audio, etc. These three instruments work together very well - I've had the Theremin pitch shifting the pocket operator via the ZOIA, and sometimes it almost sounds like something a person might do when other people are listening.

The bit I've never figured out is how to get the Theremin sound - whether it's just direct audio or whether it's pitch data for an oscillator - to be anything other than squeaks and whines. My hunch is that this is where my lack of experience with subtractive synth needs to be addressed? I don't know how to make a sine wave tolerable for long periods. But maybe I'll just bypass that for now and use it to modify samples instead.

I had other plans for day 3 of #WeekOfPatching, but not enough time. So just a quick VCVRack patch today. Not my most interesting work, but maybe it will work with something else when I edit everything together.

Day three! Speed-running the DVD logo, and thus combining our discord cables monthtly challenge with the #weekOfPatching

In the spirit of our week of patching, i tried to document the patch inline in cables. Checkout the log on my website for a screenshot and the link to the public patch.

Keep on patching!

1. A camera is recording how the patch cables are inserted. Fischer Technik electronics from the 1970s. There are 3 pulse generators, a mono flop and relays. When the relays are connected the clicks are audible.

2. Then this recording is played and manipulated with aNa. We see one video player and 3 additional filters in this signal chain. Two of them are sound reactive.

3. Original 1 and patch 2 is later blended over.

uneasy SuperCollider chords clocked by network pings 👽

- MacTCP Ping on the PowerBook 160 sends out ICMP pings over the network
- pingtrig, my pcap based program, captures them on the EeePC 900 and converts to OSC https://codeberg.org/pulu/pingtrig
- SuperCollider (also on EeePC) runs a state machine based chord pattern with synth parameters modulated by statistical properties of the ping timing

Second night of Week of Patching now done. Tonight @voxelith and I did an ambient patch that evokes feelings of a bustling city and it's inner workings. This one we have decided to call "Purlieu."

here's #WeekOfPatching Day 2 - catch a wave

I have a list of ideas to try out for the challenge & today I did "FM an LFO".

I gave the base sine wave +/-2 octaves of pitch oscillation & then applied two different frequency modulators to the pitch LFO to give it a complex, dizzy sort of movement.

The base sound wave also has two FM's, one of which is randomized & pattern-fed much like yesterday, to give the wave a steady, quick pulsing rhythm & some variation.

I just learned about #weekOfPatching. I was feeling bubbly, but also a bit irritable, which inspired this piece mimicking parakeets. The basic gist is a random walk through a pitch quantizer to control VCO pitch and another random walk to trigger a low-pass gate. To produce the sporadic screeching, I added another VCO, frequency-modulated by noise, sent through a wavefolder, producing a signal that can FM the carrier VCO. This modulator is turned on and off by a square wave triggering a VCA.
