cryptography (study I)

cryptography (study I) from macumbista on Vimeo.

"The "Cryptography Studies" examine the use of simple analog implementations of pseudo-random number generators, akin to those used in encryption algorithms, for the chaotic production of sound patterns. One of the simplest pseudo-random number generators is a three-stage shift register with a non-linear feedback loop, such as that found in Rob Hordijk's "Benjolin" instrument design.

This one was built over Easter weekend 2012 as a starting point for further research on the topic. I have focused on the chaotic zones which occur when new parameters have been set by the controls or feedback patching, before the machine settles into a steady state and predictable pattern.

You can read my extended musings on the relationship of cryptography and music here:

2012-04-14 Who the hell doesn't need a x0xb0x ?!

"This is a video response live jam session to Andygaro1's "WHO NEEDS A XOXBOX? PURE TECHNO ACID MADNESS on KORG ESX1"

This does not work without a subwoofer or bassy headphones - don't even try. I tested something new and directly lined-in to the camera, unfortunately it became very noisy in the beginning, but that seems to loose ground against the bass later."

Arturia MiniBrute Synthesizer Demo - Sweetwater Sound

YouTube Published on Apr 9, 2012 by SweetwaterSound

"Sweetwater's Daniel Fisher demos the new Arturia MiniBrute Analog Synthesizer with a thorough walkthrough of its parameters and features. You can control it with CV, MIDI, or USB-MIDI, and it's even got an external audio input to run signals through the amazing multi-mode filter and amplifier sections. Enjoy the demo, then learn more about the Arturia MiniBrute here: http://bit.ly/sw_MiniBrute"

"This is a video demonstration of how well the Gaia Supersaw patch blends with both Jupiters."

Minitaur Waves & Filter.mov

YouTube Published on Apr 14, 2012 by AudioCentralMagazine

"Listening test of the pure waveforms and low pass filter; with an oscilloscope for hear and see. Boring? Maybe, (for a delicious music instrument like the Moog Minitaur) but I was very very curious to see and hear the main analog functions of this amazing wild beast!!!
So, proceed at your own risk... :-)"

Demo of Serge Resonant Eq

YouTube Published on Apr 14, 2012 by brandonrsmith23

"So here's an uncle saw through the serge resonant eq i just built. At first it's naked uncle saw, and then i move over to eq. right off the bat I can see that i might have some little tweaks to do - first time looking at it in that frequency meter. So, start off just boosting and cutting one freq ata time, and then i go down 2 at a time (using every other freq simultaneously) and then i move to messing around with high comb, and then messing around with low comb."
