Hi.
My Pure Data Just Intonation sequencing program is up and running, and
I'm in the process of making music with it for a dance/music ensemble
at my school. The problem is everyone says it sounds like
Mario. I tried making a granulator, and it sounded good but used
so much CPU I couldn't incorporate it into my sequencer.
What I do have is 16 harmonics, filtered noise, a bp/lp/hp selector
with cutoff and Q control, and adsr sliders. I have 8 copies of
this, each of which only runs when it is changed, and writes its
results to a graph, which the sequencer reads. Thus it is also
possible to draw the waveform with the mouse, which I've found can make
it a little less predictable. But too much of that makes it
inharmonic, and even so it still sounds very 80's. I'd like the
freedom to work in more sophisticated synthesis.
What can I do?
Thanks.
