iTunes: Virtual ANS - Alexander Zolotov

"Virtual ANS is a software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS - photoelectronic microtonal/spectral musical instrument created by Russian engineer Evgeny Murzin from 1938 to 1958.
The instrument was used by Stanislav Kreichi, Alfred Schnittke, Edison Denisov, Sofia Gubaidulina, Edward Artemiev and other Soviet composers.
You can hear the sound of the ANS in Andrei Tarkovsky's movies Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker.

While the other similar programs are just fun toys, the Virtual ANS is a full-featured professional tool which allows you to create unusual, deep, atmospheric sounds. With this app you can draw a complete piece of music, or convert sound to image (sonogram) and then make some complex sonogram modifications.
Actually the potential of the program has not been explored yet, so it (as well as PixiVisor) is more appropriate for people who are searching for something new, not afraid to experiment with sound.

Key features:
• unique Virtual Analog sound engine;
• unlimited number of pure tone generators;
• powerful sonogram editor - you can draw the spectrum and play it at the same time;
• any sound (from a WAV file or a Microphone/Line-in) can be converted to image (sonogram) and vice versa;
• MIDI Input;
• supported file formats: WAV, PNG, JPEG, GIF, VNS (Virtual ANS 1.x);
• Jack and Audiobus support;
• iTunes File Sharing;
• Wi-Fi Export/Import;
• Virtual ANS is also available for Android, Windows, Linux and OSX;
• more functions in the next Virtual ANS updates...

Virtual ANS Based PhonoPaper: Play Music from Paper - How to Print your Voice and Play It Back

Published on Apr 16, 2014 Alexander Zolotov·123 videos

The software is currently available for Android. Note this is based on Virtual ANS which is also available for iOS. See the details below.

PhonoPaper: How to Print your Voice and Play It Back


"What is PhonoPaper

PhonoPaper is:
format of graphical representation of the sound (music, human voice, etc.); in other words, it is the 2D audio barcode (by analogy with the QR-code);
real-time PhonoPaper-code reader (using the camera);
PhonoPaper-code generator (sound to image converter).

Key features:
PhonoPaper-code is analogue, so it is not so sensitive to different types of the image distortion (bad camera, dark picture, wrinkled paper, etc.); at least you will hear the "silhouette" of the original sound;
PhonoPaper does not require access to the network; its code is self-contained;
PhonoPaper-code can be played in real-time with hand-controlled speed and direction;
PhonoPaper-code can be drawn by hand (paper version of the Virtual ANS synth);
PhonoPaper is free!
Examples of usage:
voice messages (or pieces of music) on the billboards, posters, postcards, goods;
audio labels for phonorecords;
audio examples in some textbooks;
art-experiments;
learning the basics of the spectral music.
PhonoPaper is based on the Virtual ANS engine - it is a software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS.
So if you want to make more complex PhonoPaper-codes - use the Virtual ANS."

Virtual ANS 3 for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, & Android

Published on Jun 2, 2019 Alexander Zolotov

"Demo of the new Virtual ANS 3.0 spectral synth. Now with MIDI mapping, polyphonic synth mode, AUv3, and many other new features!"

via http://warmplace.ru/soft/ans/

"Virtual ANS is a software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS - photoelectronic musical instrument created by Evgeny Murzin from 1938 to 1958. The ANS made it possible to draw music in the form of a spectrogram (sonogram), without live instruments and performers. It was used by Stanislav Kreichi, Alfred Schnittke, Edward Artemiev and other Soviet composers in their experimental works. You can also hear the sound of the ANS in Andrei Tarkovsky's movies Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker.

The simulator extends the capabilities of the original instrument. Now it's a full-featured graphics editor where you can convert sound into an image, load and play pictures, draw microtonal/spectral music and create some unusual deep atmospheric sounds. This app is for everyone who loves experiments and is looking for something new.

Key features:
unlimited number of pure tone generators;
powerful sonogram editor - you can draw the spectrum and play it at the same time;
any sound (from a WAV file or a Microphone/Line-in) can be converted to image (sonogram) and vice versa;
support for MIDI devices;
polyphonic synth mode with MIDI mapping;
supported file formats: WAV, AIFF, PNG, JPEG, GIF;
supported sound systems: ASIO, DirectSound, MME, ALSA, OSS, JACK, Audiobus, IAA."

Virtual ANS : Test play with mouse, jpeg pictures and wav file.

"Testing "Virtual ANS" on Linux ( Debian wheezy amd64 )
Virtual ANS is REALLY AMAZING software synthesizer.

In this video I'm trying to play it with mouse, jpeg pictures and wav file.

( It also works with OS-X, Windows, iOS and Android.)"

PhonoPaper Camera Scanning Synth for iOS Now Available and Free

And the best part is it's currently free. What's interesting is it will work using the camera on anything. I thought the app would only read between the horizontal bar lines in the paper images you see to the left, but I just tried it on anything and it worked! You just have to set it to free mode. Great app to trip people out. Would also be interesting to use it to capture a visual what your playing on your modular or other and then feed that audio back in for processing. Or just have it watch TV and feed the audio back into your modular or mix. Should make for some interesting performances. I'm surprised it's is free as I can see it going viral with non synth people picking it up for a buck just to show it to people. Grab it while you can.

iTunes: PhonoPaper - Alexander Zolotov

You might remember the video posted here for the Android version (also available).

"PhonoPaper is:
• format of graphical representation of the sound (music, human voice, etc.); in other words, it is the 2D audio barcode (by analogy with the QR-code);
• real-time PhonoPaper-code reader (using the camera);
• PhonoPaper-code generator (sound to image converter).

• PhonoPaper-code can be played in real-time with hand-controlled speed and direction;
• PhonoPaper-code can be drawn by hand (paper version of the Virtual ANS synth);
• PhonoPaper is free!

Examples of usage:
• voice messages (or pieces of music) on the billboards, posters, postcards, goods;
• audio labels for phonorecords;
• audio examples in some textbooks;
• art-experiments;
• learning the basics of the spectral music.

PhonoPaper is based on the Virtual ANS engine - it is a software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS. So if you want to make more complex PhonoPaper-codes - use the Virtual ANS.

Default PhonoPaper-code length is 10 seconds. But you can make it shorted or longer - playing speed can be changed manually.
