this work showcases a max/msp patch which creates washes of granular synthesis from a live input. sounds that meet the synth engine are sampled to a buffer~ object, then spliced and diced with 2d.wave~. each parameter of the 2d.wave~ granular output is individually tweakable, and presets can be mixed and overlapped using a midi interface, specifically, the novation launchcontrol xl. wet and dry versions of our live input can then be timestretched and stereo-fied before running through a reverb system. wet and dry blends are then controlled by our midi interface, as well as the interpolation between reverb presets.

this project allows for patch modification without ever touching a keyboard or mouse. as the following recordings hopefully demonstrate, this opens up the opportunity to create and modify complex sound while simultaneously producing the engine’s input. i really enjoyed recording this pieces, and hope to use this patch more in the future! these recordings are just a start!

the first track is a guitar, the second is a drum set (with a dry recording overlayed), and the third is a guitar with a synthesizer. enjoy 🙂

Stemming from my practice of making instrumentals with beat loops, I wanted to employ relatively easy techniques to develop analog loops. The patch I created separately shifts the pacing, pitch, and frequency of the signal out for the left and right channel; thus creating an either harmonic or rippling effect for the listener. Immersive 3D audio using multi-channeled systems is an area I intend to pursue and I thought this was a first step towards creating loops from scratch. In the grand scheme, I would like to add on to this patch and create a whole system that divides to more than 2 channels and affects each one differently.

This patch takes an input, runs it into a delay with feedback, then sends the output of that signal into two delays, one in the left channel and one in the right. each of those two signals feeds back into itself, as well as into the input of the opposite side’s signal. for each three of these delay chains, the delay time and pitch modulates randomly. from there, the pitch modulation effect from the feedback is mitigated by a pitch corrector, which fixes each note (or rather, attempts to) to an A. this semi-randomly modulated signal, paired with a nearly-self-oscillating delay chain and enforced pitch effect, creates irregular swells and digital artifacts within a smooth wave of delay.

The delay is 0.75s long, and each time it repeats the volume is multiplied by 0.65 and the sampling rate is lowered to 0.4Hz. The resulting effect was similar to an echo. I choose the song Truce because it’s a slower song and I thought it would sound nice with an echo.
