Thick Tones, Envelopes, MIDI Clocks & .Wav Filters
I spent the better part of a day trying to combine simpler patches I had observed thus far and attempt to make music of it. For the first time, I got a much deeper understanding of multiplier and addition objects, through sheer experimentation. This has resulted in an output of more desireable/controllable amplitudes and more complex synth tones that explore a multi-timbral frequency spectrum. I also incorporated a MIDI beat clock device and was able to control its tempo. My attempt to modify a .wav of an espresso steamer using a biquad with pink noise and a resonant filter yielded great sonic results, that is, until I played it back from the recording, and all the other sounds were distorted. Hitting my head against the wall grew tiresome, so I opted to record the biquad to a separate stereo track (simultaneously with the other track) and combined the two in Audacity. My two pieces follow here:
