"Ops is a modular synthesiser designed to make it easy to create and explore sound interactively with a touch screen. Ops does away with patch cords, instead using a system of connected blocks with a clear signal flow.
The blocks, called ops, are joined together into structures by dragging and dropping them on screen. Structures can easily be copied and varied to build-up rich, interesting results.
There are ops to perform a wide range of functions, including interaction, signal generation, effects processing, control, audio input, MIDI input, and pitch and rhythm manipulation."
"Strange Attractor is a novel sound generator and effects processor based on chaos theory. At its heart is a feedback system which can spontaneously oscillate, or respond to incoming sounds, processing them into fractal sonic textures.
It generates a wide range of undulating sounds, controlled by touch, which slowly evolve in unpredictable ways. The sound is visualised as an ever-changing dynamic form."
"Voco is a touch-controlled phase vocoder for manipulating sampled sound.
The sound is mapped onto the screen, with time running left to right, and pitch up and down. By touching the screen the sound can be manipulated and played like an instrument.
Sounds can be loaded as wav files through iTunes or sampled directly via the microphone or input socket."
all sequenced from logic, lots and lots of pitch bend automation... midi cv mostly coming from expert sleepers fh-2, including one converter that's just velocity information for the hihats and one that's just a monophonic gate with no pitch (for the dfam). the configurability of the fh-2 is astounding
drums: squid salmple with mostly linn samples, swapped in a 909 ride and 808 cowbell. gates from beatstep pro with aforementioned hihat velocity from the fh-2
bass: mb2s all by itself (including midi conversion)
riff that mostly follows bass: plaits (waveshaper algo) through tiptop forbidden planet though obne screen violence (disabled at first)
minor 2nd thing: qu-bit surface in one of the e piano modes
riff 1: qu-bit chord v2, a fair bit of malarky going on to get the right flavour of duophony. everything's kinda duplicated so at first it's just the first two oscillators then it gets doubled
riff 2 (first new riff in 4/4): surface again, i switch it to monophonic during the stabs
riff 3: qu-bit aurora running a dumb little oscillator firmware i wrote a few weeks ago (my first and so far only foray into writing dsp). ran it through after later stairs (stereo filter) with different lfos modulating left and right to move it around a bit. midi from beastep pro (this was the last voice i added and had used up all the outputs on the fh-2 and expander. still had the other sequencer on the bsp so i guess i could've added one more voice)
klek de machine: dfam

the arrangement is slightly shorter, where everything's live rather than looped i can only add layers as long as i can add voices so i focused on what seemed like the more important ones. and while i spent a long time trying to figure out all the parts i'm still not quite sure what the bass (and guitar part that mostly doubles the bass) in the last section is doing. pretty sure i'm pretty close though.
