There are 60 full spectrum (0-22050hz) sonograms for the selected snapshots sounds of Quantum Radio ensemble. The time scale vary within one or a few seconds. Keep in mind that the ensemble doesn’t contain any automated modules - LFO, ADSR, step-sequencers and etc. No FX-processing has not been applied neither .

Hello my silent visitors

I’ve finished to build Reaktor ensemble that contain something that will show how serious it’s going to be, how clear my ideas are. I know I have not much of publishing experience. I know my English looks strange, probably. I know the site is mostly empty at the moment. But I clearly see reasons I started the project, reasons I’ll continue the work. Due to specificity of the information and preparations processes the ensemble and the all the promised stuff will be published in next post.

During building the ensemble I realized that how much I don’t like these simple multi-wave oscillators based on cross-fading I decided to waste an extra week to redesign this *classic* building block. I didn’t want to ruin a lot of time and I wasn’t sure in my success. Today I finished the redesigned oscillator, and I decided to put it out as another separate post. Basically, I don’t like the fact I have not a clear publishing strategy for the blog. Since the way it goes now reminds me back engineering I think I should make it more clear to myself first.

Anyway, the thing I don’t like about these simple multi-wave oscillators is that most of them produce separated waves. And since the output waves (Tri, Sin, Pls, Saw) have quite different trigonometric nature it’s quite ineffective to mix them down to one wave. The mixing result looks and sounds predictably boring. I said “not this time, baby” and sat down to brainstorm. (more…)

I have to admit it takes more time to build an ensemble that would dumbfound you. But it almost done. I’m about to start write text and make visuals. Also I’m going to contact a couple of persons before publish the post, because I need to confirm that my *5% CPU-1200Mhz load* is going to separate the world of synthesis to before and after. That’s funny to be excited about it. The funny thing is that even at worst case I think you’ll be surprised.
Anyway, I think one more post with a couple of tips won’t be superfluous for Reaktor newbies at least. There we go…
One of the oldest thing I use is Pitch2Factor converter. Sometimes it’s useful to have note-pitch as a scaling factor. (more…)

A couple more of small macros I did for some of visuals for the idea I’m going to publish in next post, GetDigit and LCDigit: (more…)

Hi guys. I’ve been working on one of the ideas I promised to put out since last year and realized that some of the details don’t really fit to the post (which is going to be huge), but they still worth to post and I decided to post the things as a couple of small posts aka tips. (more…)

I’m about to celebrate NY that coming in a day. I’ll come back with the ideas I’ve been excited those months about. (more…)

Hey guys, Merry Xmas to all of you with the religion brain mod installed

I’m also about own upgrade - gotta see my dentist as soon as possible. As well I’m thinking about my PC upgrade - switch to Intel’s Core 2 Duo. New Year is coming and it’s quite interesting to note that I’ve got better start with the project than expected. I started a couple of months ago with a couple of word in my head - “Synth of Mine”. I’ve put some very basic stuff and the great thing is that people liked the basic idea of the project, I’ve got a support that I wasn’t expecting. I haven’t put out my most interesting ideas yet due to a small number of visitors and my own recent busyness, but I’ve got tons of time to make the ideas clear and time-independent. I have no illusions - my project is future aimed.
Most synth-builders are not ready to share their work properly, they’re sure they’re ready to provide a finished product. But the product has “use if you can” name in most cases and actually they put out own work to nowhere, there are only few persons who are ready to the back-engineering, and a couple of them are really interested. There is no a progress vector within community. Everybody’s got own vector which is actually a curve aimed to a dusty shelf.
Some people are lazy to share, some people are scared to share, some - both. But let me open your eyes as I did a couple of years ago. To do that I’ll answer to one of the greatest questions of the human race - what’s the meaning of our lives? I’ve been searching the answer many years and I’ve found it. Ready to hear it? The meaning of life is a chance for immortality. You have a chance to become immortal within people you’ve inspired, people that have a small piece of your mentality. The more things you’ve shared, the more immortal you became. It sounds quite unreal and funny. But I’m ready to ruin your laugh. There are few simple questions you should be able to answer. When you answer them you’ll see I’m right. Do you agree all the atoms of our bodies came out of stars? Do you agree there is an energy conservation law? Do you agree an energy is transforming from simple to complicated all the way to survive? Do you agree our society is sponsored by solar energy? Do you agree Universe don’t give a damn about your dusty shelf?

Have nice holidays!
