all the same, all different

.cc - week five.

This week I have used a whole range of new Unit Generators. Building on the Mouse X/Y controls, I have started using the keyboard as an input into SuperCollider.

sound_gen_II.rtf


/* example 5.
using mix.fill unit generator to create a multi-unit generator
Y axis = pitch
X axis = panning

try altering the variables for different results
*/

(

var rate = 0.4, //rate of sound wall generation
partials = 25, //number of harmonics
baseNote = 50; //base note (MIDI Note)

x = {
Mix.fill(
partials, { //each partial's function
SinOsc.ar(
freq: MouseY.kr(minval: baseNote, maxval: baseNote + 100).round(10.0) + 800.0.rand, //Y axis control pitch
phase: 0,
mul: EnvGen.kr(Env.adsr( //envelope
attackTime: 0.01,
decayTime: 0.02,
sustainLevel: 0.2,
releaseTime: 0.1,
peakLevel: 0.9/partials,
curve: -4.0,
bias: 0.0
),
LFNoise0.kr(freq: rate) //trigger
)
)
});
};

{Pan2.ar(in: x, //panning
pos: MouseX.kr(minval: -1.0, maxval: 1.0),
level: 1.0
)}.scope(2, 0, 2).play;

)
