Howdy, a quick update I needed to make
in the middle of a course and to settle
the ground for a project I'm unveiling
this week in a symposium (the first draft
of my modular abstractions).
One new thing I have is a great gift
from Tim Schoen, he just gave me this
incredible object named [circuit~] that
emulates analog circuitry. I'm blown away
and have no idea how it works, it's just
pure magic as I see it. As an atheist, I
can't explain it...
Tim also helped in a compild version of
[conv~]. I had this very expensive
abstraction and this is now a much more
simplified version of the great william
brent's [convolve~] object. This was one
of the things on my list for a final
release, so we're getting closer. By the
way, I think I've said it before, I'm
planning a final release next year when
Tim's Plugdata reaches version 1.0 (phew,
finally).
I'm still extendind the MC awareness of
objects in ELSE. The [sine~] , [imp~] and
[adsr~] objects are now MC aware! The
[adsr~] and [envgen~] also got a new audio
inlet for retriggering with impulses.
Including new objects, ELSE now has 70
signal objects that can deal with
multichannels.
A family of new objects I'm really
proud of is [pm6~], [pm4~] and [pm2~].
These are 6, 4 and 2 operators synths with
a modulation matrix for phase modulation.
So yeah, think of DX7 and stuff. Or Native
Instruments' FM8, actually. This is
beautifual, and MC aware! Being MC aware
makes it polyphonic with [voices~],
without the need of [clone]. Did I mention
I'm working on modular abstractions? Yup,
one based on [pm6~] is done, and looks
great with all the GUI there for you to
set values in the modulation matrix, plus
panning, detuning, ratio. Really damn
proud of this one.
A new [mono~] object offers monophonic
voice management with signal rate
portamento output. A [
mpe.in]
object is my first take on managing MIDI
Polyphonic Expression. I guess that's the
highlights and it for now.
Current object count is: 518 (277
signal objects and 241 control objects)!
299 coded objects (192 signal objects /
107 control objects) 219 abstractions (85
signal objects / 134 control objects) Not
much new in the tutorial, just some
updates and revisions to add the new
objects and breaking changes in ELSE.
Total number of examples is now 508!
Get it from there or deken (no
raspberry pi yet). Expect this one soon
in a next PlugData release.
cheers
