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
