Nature Oscillator for iPad Released

Published on Aug 13, 2014 Marcus Padrini

You might remember the first video posted here. It is now available via iTunes: Nature - Oscillator - Alexander Zolotov

Curious how this differs from PhonoPaper's free mode.

"The world around us is an endless source of visual information, the flow of the fractal code of life. 'Nature - Oscillator' is one of the attempts to translate this code to sound, using spectral synthesis algorithm of the Virtual ANS engine (software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS). The program continuously reads the image from the camera and interprets it as the spectrum of the sound. And you can easily control the scanning curve: its amplitude, type and speed.

[ How to use ]

Start the app and you will hear the sound immediately. Try to move the camera and you will hear the sound change.
If there is no sound for some reason - try to reduce the Quality parameter in the app menu.

How to change the scanning curve:
* amplitude: touch the screen and slide up or down;
* speed: touch the screen and slide left or right;
* type: use the slider at the top of the screen.

Any sound can be recorded by pressing the REC button on the right side of the screen."

Playing with Virtual ANS and Sugarbytes Factory, using STAELLA for the visualisations

Published on Jun 6, 2019 pantsofdeath

"I know, I don’t usually post my stuff here, it usually goes over to my music site, but i had a three month block cleared this week by the release of Virtual ANS 3 and I wanted to showcase the otherworldly sounds that come out of that thing. Also on this track is Ruismaker (Bram BOS) and patterning 2."

SILHOUETTE - Visual to Analog Audio Synthesizer with Dual Flight Style Joysticks & Monitor Display

Published on Jan 2, 2019 Pit Przygodda

Kind of a modern day ANS, or Oramics. Also see Virtual ANS for iOS.

"silhouette". A video-to-audio-synthesizer by Pit Przygodda (Prototype 2018).
Infos: www.silhouette-synthesizer.de

6-voice, seperate tuning and modulation, analog-filter, FX. SILHOUETTE trains itself to become a really extraordinary sound-scape-machine!

Technique
s i l h o u e t t e is a software-based synthesizer, that creates sound by using greyscale-data chosen from a picture file.

This is done in real-time.

At the moment, it is programmed under the Pure Data programming environment.

Data-sources:
- real-time-pictures/motion-pictures (camera)
- picture-files
- motion-pictures (films)

Oscillator:
The sound is produced by transforming an area of greyscale-data into sound-data.

Windows:
You have a screen, where you see the camera-picture/picture/film you have loaded in.
You have 2 data-windows within the loaded picture to chose a visual area where you like to extract sound-data.
The 2 windows can be changed in size and position individualy and be modulated by LFO, EG, KBD-follow, audio-waveform or manually in realtime.
Their audio-output is routed anolog to their x/y-position in the picture to coordinates in a quadrophonic sound-system in the performance-room.

Silhouette
So it is possible that the outline of a silhouette is analog to your audio-waveform.
Therefor it is necessary that the silhouette-shape is strictly black and white.
This was the main idea at the beginning of this project:
That you act visually directly IN the waveform.
This is done very sensually by acting on the light-table in front of the camera.
I think about giving that technique a name: "silhouette-synthesis".

Quadrophonia
Since summer 2018 I am building a hardware. It has 2 joystick-controlled-data-windows inside the main-screen which let you move 2 audio-waves analog to their coordinates in the main-wondow inside a quadrophonic space (screen corner-left/top > speaker-front/left; screen corner-right/bottom > speaker back/right etc.).

Virtual ANS - Saw Wave Import and Playback

Published on Nov 2, 2018 Sysex|Studio

"Imported a saw wave sound with filter cutoff and resonance into Virtual ANS for iOS to view it’s spectrogram. Playback is lofi and dithered compared to the source because the app only has so many pixels to represent the audio. It’s cool to see the harmonics related to the fundamentals nonetheless."

SILHOUETTE eins - synthesizer (Demo 2021)

video upload by Pit Przygodda

"This is my 2021 built synthesizer 'Silhouette eins'. (prototype)

It is an optical soundtrack synthesizer: Optical shapes are transformed into musical waves for audio and modulation in real time.

Infos:
http://www.silhouette-synthesizer.de

It is the successor of former prototypes (2017 - 2019).
'Silhouette eins' now extends the concept by the use of the generated waves not only for audio but also for modulation."



"VIDEOVOX is a synthesizer which transfers video-data into audio-data.
It´s a prototype, programmed under Pure-Data.
