Fragment Synthesizer - Granular + Additive synthesis + Visuals

Published on Oct 6, 2017 Fragment Synthesizer

"Fragment is an online collaborative additive / spectral and soon granular live-coding web. platform, the spectrum is created by a live GPU script, the generated visual is then converted to audio by an additive process (re-synthesis).

Fragment is able to produce high-quality fast additive and granular synthesis simultaneously with re-synthesis support, it has many features making it a bliss to produce any kind of sounds or visuals and is aimed at artists seeking a creative environment with few limitations to experiment with, a programmable noise-of-all-kinds monster.

This is a video of one hour jam on ambient soundscapes made of (simple) granular and additive synthesis patches with live compositing visuals produced from two videos.

This demonstrate granular synthesis features, videos looping/compositing and mixing sound synthesis methods, some new features of the just released one year massive anniversary update.

On this video, i also use the new distributed sound synthesis tool which is able to split sound synthesis computation over multiple machines on the network or cores, 4 Fragment Audio servers were running over multiple core on a i7 CPU to provide polyphonic and multitimbral (4 timbres) additive + granular synthesis with over 150+ grains at the same time.

The code used to produce the granular soundscape and the additive synthesis partials is quite simple this time, this just use envelope, exponential decay of harmonics and pKey."

"Cool vintage catalog which was requested in 1975. Looks like it may have been stored untouched since from around that period. Very nice!"

Prophet '08 Soft Strings

Published on Oct 9, 2017 Sacred Synthesis

"I've been focusing on the Poly Evolvers for a full nine months now. I deliberately did so while the Prophet Rev2 fervor was at its height, and now that it's slowly passing, I thought I'd return to the Prophet '08.

Somewhat in imitation of the 'Soft Strings' piece I did on the Prophet 12, I thought I'd begin with the Prophet '08's version of the same patch. This sound uses the usual Keyboard-Module pairing and panning at the mixer for stereo breadth and depth. Only one keyboard was used, and every note is Prophet '08 except the bass, which is, as usual, the Evolver Desktop controlled by the Hammond Pedalboard.

By the way, the photographs used throughout this channel were all taken by my wife. These are the glorious local places that we weekly walk or hike in western Massachusetts. The present picture was taken just this afternoon, on a humid drizzly Columbus Day, as the remnants of the hurricane "Nate" passed through the area.

Instrumentation:
DSI Prophet '08 Keyboard
DSI Prophet '08 Module

Bass:
DSI Evolver Desktop
Hammond XPK 200L Pedalboard

External Effects:
Lexicon MX300 for reverb

Performed and mixed live and recorded directly to a Tascam CD-RW900 Mk II.
