via Gsynth on the forum"it would cycle through each step in the pulsar as each page in the table
this would show the harmonic content i guess
it looks similar to the wavetrip wavetables harmonic content [image below]
problems:
1 probably not a very musical sound but who knows
2 you cant see all the peaks
3 i have no clue how to make a wave table
solutions:
1 make slight minor adjustments to "tune" the harmonics while still keeping it looking like the original
2 find a historic chart or diagram or recordings possibly? or guess/ make it up as long as it sounds good
3 someone else could make it please? maybe it could be loaded as a sample into the waldorf blofeld
anyways that would be really amazing if anyone could help me with this"
It would definitely be interesting. Anyone up to the task or know where to start?

Update via Qwave in the comments: "The 3D format picture with "56 wavetrip" written in the window is a lift-off of my self made analysis of the WAVE wavetables I did many years ago using an old Performer Mac and Sound Edit... The original picture" So the second image and samples are not cp1919.
of course you could always just find the original data-set saville grabbed this from. it came from a radio telescope, right? it's got to exist as a set of numbers.

indicates that it's a sample of the radio waves emitted pulsar CP 1919. Suppose you could just find a radio telescope and record it again ;-)
lol thanx for putting this up matrix, man u really know how to treat your community:) i will search for these things, this might finaly be a reason for me to purchase a sample upgrade, or maybe just the blokey.

Awesome. It actually does sound like a wavetable.

ReplyDelete(see my comment down the page)
pea, just read this article - marvelous! :-)
ReplyDeleteI also wonder what this "bitmaps & waves" could do for me and if there's something like this for Mac OS X. I'll do some research later on ...
BTW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP_1919
Quite some artists translated radio waves from celestial entities to audible sound. Of course the results are very different, depending on the methods utilised.
The 3D format picture with "56 wavetrip" written in the window is a lift-off of my self made analysis of the WAVE wavetables I did many years ago using an old Performer Mac and Sound Edit.
ReplyDeleteSo (I am not an english native speaker) is someone claiming to have done this in this software ?!?

Qwave, I believe your image is just a comparison. If you see the forum link at the top of the post you will see GSynth reference your image. I updated the post to make this more clear.
ReplyDeleteHi Till, very long time no read! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for clarifying!
Now I'm really curious how this table sounds like originally - I'll look up your site.
I'll update my little page about this.
Thanks a lot!
Michael.
