The 'Horsman Generator' from Richard Horsman on Vimeo.
follow-up to this post.
"A *visual* tour (no sound) of the generator application's user interface. See the oscillators, see the manual envelope creator, see the sequencer. Better videos (with sound!) coming soon."
You can find more screenshots here
Isn't a sound-free tour of the UI a bit like an audio-only description of the Mona Lisa? Seriously, just reading the manual would probably be more informative...
ReplyDeleteMeh...windows only.
ReplyDelete@Gwenhwyfaer - Yes, I was in 2 minds about uploading the video-only video (there was no sound as my kids were watching 'Hotel For Dogs' in the same room while I was recording it!). I'll shoot a longer one (with sound) when I get a chance. Cheers.

ReplyDeleteI think that this program generates CV's for analog synths. So a sound demo is not as important as the UI IMO.
What I am curious about is what's in the Altoids tin.
DIY sound card with no dc blocking caps?
Look's incredibly cool...
Highly awesome. Did you write it from scratch in C or similar, or use some high-level tool? And I have second James and ask 'what's in the baccie tin?' (Note to James - as far as I know, you can't smoke Altoids.) Pighood - I presume you are a Mac person. I reckon a Mac with a tobacco tin d/a converter and something like Numerology would be be - somewhat useful.
ReplyDelete@Slabman - thanks for your comments. I wrote it from scratch in Visual Basic using DirectX for screen manipulation. Unfortunately the DAC is too big to fit in the tin (I have another tin, as yet unmeasured, which I hope it *will* fit in) so it currently just holds the 3.5mm I/O sockets. Ultimately I want to build a Eurorack height module to hold the DAC, the I/O sockets and some control switches.
ReplyDelete@James - thanks. See previous comment for tin contents. No sound card is required.
ReplyDelete@RichyHo - thanks for that. Might I suggest that the grocery cupboard standard seems to offer more flexibility than Eurorack? After all, modules can range in size from Altoids, through baccie tin, up to the full, family-size biscuit tin. Not to mention the physical protection gained simply by closing the cupboard door. That's where the expresssion 'rocking with a full biscuit tin' comes from. Or did I just make it up?
ReplyDeleteWow it looks very nice, almost real.
ReplyDeleteIs this going to be:
-1 one off project for yourself
-2 a commercial project
-3 open source (yesssss please)
Nice work
