.cc - week eight.
Had some fun adding some controllers to the granular synth patch. Basically, I had the idea of creating pseudo-MIDI controllers using only the keyboard and mouse. The way I have implemented these is to use the mouse to control the grain density using the mouse. While the caps lock key is switched on the value rolls forwards and backward depending on how the mouse has been moved. While the shift key is held down, the mouse acts more like a pitch-bend wheel, moving back and fourth, then snapping back to its previous value once the shift key is released.
The grain density is parameter of the synth patch that I have chosen to modify, however the controller patch is encapsulated in a sub-patch and easily be added to other parameters. Here's where the magic happens:
Get it? You can see it used in the synth patch itself, which is shown below.
The mp3 result that I have put together this week is a sort of sound design extract that I imagine accompanying space ships flying around the cinema. Say, like this:
