"PaSSBot makes complex modulation easy and musically intuitive by turning even lifeless sonic material into animated textures."

See this previous post for a tutorial by CatSynth of the original release.

"PaSSBot is a unique stochastic filter bank plugin. a cloud of filters with complex modulation capabilities driving up to 64 unique parallel instances.

It is also structurally the base of sonicLAB Fundamental, where the latter owes most of its features to the PaSSBot. PaSSBot filter types are Biquad, StateVariableFilter, Ladder, Resonator and SEM filter implementations. With behaviors of bandpass, Lo + Hipass, and Notch types and up to 64 of them in true stereo ! The user can set values of center frequency, gain and resonance of the each filter, which will be then eloborated with powerful stochastic generators ( 4 independent GENs ) with continuous or discrete probabilistic distributions but also with standard waveforms.

a cloud of filters with organic character..
PaSSBot has a rich time domain modulation scheme at your finger which operates on various parameters.
individual behavior or harmonic relations
You can set each filter parameters individually, but also distribute them in harmonic order, again the harmonic spread ratio can be set by the user or even can be modulated by a GEN.

Be it stochastic complex control-waveforms to interact with or simple touches, this calculated data serving to the filter bank create musical soundscapes instantly.

Tuning scales can be deployed to tune the filter center frequencies.

For independent GEN's for each filter (modulation generators ) with loads of stochastic distribution sources. This makes upto 64 x 4 GENs running in parallel..

Each GEN can modulate a different parameter: Center freq, filter gain, filter bandwidth, harmonic spread ratio and stereo spatialization.

You can tune the filter fequencies to musical scales. PaSSBot can read .scala format scale files.

True two channel behavior for stereo imaging, and each filter position can be modulated on the stereo field.

The filter can run continuously or be triggered manually. In that case, each filter will be applied an independent AR envelope with configurable random duration.

Precision DSP rendering, less than 1milisec. control rate precision and at the same time CPU friendly." https://www.sonic-lab.com/passbot/

"What is PolyNodes ?
PolyNodes is our cutting-edge sound synthesis / generative audio platform that is set to transform the way one interacts with sound.

PolyNodes transcends traditional sound design by expanding two-dimensional waveforms into a dynamic 3D spatial navigation experience.
PolyNodes extracts and analyzes the temporal properties of the input sound and maps them in a 3D space to create a visible geometric structure.

This pioneering approach allows to identify key sound moments as geodesic points or nodes, interconnected through a network of triangulations. The result is a multi-scale complex sonic navigation through its input material.

Multi scale Sound Composition :

The platform employs a multi-layered approach to sound composition, handling the macro, meso and micro regions of sound as temporal references.

Architectural Approach to Sound design:
Inspired by the architectural metaphor of crystalline structures, PolyNodes treats sound as a structured entity, arranging its fundamental units akins to spatial architecture, embracing the generative essence of sonic creation.

Innovative 3D Sound Navigation :

– Each sound material generates a unique 3D geometric entity based on the macro, meso and micro level onset time analysis.

– The engine features multiple playheads, known as node agents, equipped with advanced re-synthesis and signal processing techniques to navigate on the 3D entity.

– Multiple navigation strategies to chose from for the macro, meso and micro level agents.

DSP Interactables :
PolyNodes introduces DSP interactables, allawing direct interaction with the PolyNodes 3D geometry. The proximity of agents to these interactable objects determines the extent of their influence, integrating spatial interaction as a core component of sound design."

A cold sonic landscape using Fundamental 2 and Adaptiverb

New member of Oceanic, the FlangerBot in charge.

"Flanging, by definition, is an undulating sound effect produced by mixing two identical signals together, with one signal delayed by a small and gradually changing period. This creates a sweeping comb filter effect, with peaks and troughs in the resultant frequency spectrum. The motion of trochoidal waves on the Oceanic, with their natural ebb and flow, perfectly mirrors this undulating characteristic. When applied to modulate flanger parameters, trochoidal waves not only enhance the flanging effect but also make it feel more organic and alive.

The FlangerBot presents 5 distinct oceanic flangers and by modulating the delay rate of each flanger, introducing undulating filtering effects, and triggering tap delay lines with wave heights, the FlangerBot offers a sound processing experience that is both intricate and expansive.

On the video, a simple Jupiter8 pad is being processed and then 2 Fundamental3 presets. No additional effect has been applied."

sonicLAB introduces Oceanic, a unique software bundle that captures the essence of the ocean’s waves and transforms them into a symphony of additive sound synthesis.

What is Oceanic ?
In the vast realm of sound synthesis, nature has always been our muse. Its rhythmic raindrops, harmonious bird songs, and the mesmerizing dance of leaves in the wind have all inspired countless sonic creations. Yet, there’s one natural wonder that stands out in its grandeur and intricacy: the ocean.

With the “Oceanic” bundle of software, sonicLAB brings a unique sound design tool to your fingertips. Oceanic offers an innovative auditory experience with its heart lying on the ingenious application of Gerstner’s wave solutions, a mathematical representation of sea waves.

Oceanic invites you to set sail for a sonic journey on waves.

Oceanic’s foundation, the Gerstner’s trochoidal wave solution, still relevant today, captures the nuanced movements of wave surfaces, both vertically and horizontally. By utilizing five periodic trochoidal waves and their superposition, Oceanic crafts a fluid sea surface motion, rich in variations and fully controllable.

By simulating the intricate patterns and shapes of sea waves, Oceanic can extract wave data from this dynamic system. It drives the wavetable oscillators and calculates complex modulation addressing synthesis parameters by only using the organic motion of sea waves.
