Nils real time chopping filter

Published on Aug 25, 2013 humbletune·51 videos

"I have been really excited about this filter today. Playing with the algorithm and singing all day, so this test sample has some vocals on it. Oho. :) I know it is rare, I am a bit shy.

Anyway I am not sure what to call the filter. It is a tempo controlled non linear delay I guess, producing some, I think nice sounds.

Oh, and if you are wondering what the graphics are, it is a dimetrodon. I thought it was fitting, no not really but I really wanted to draw one.

Also, off coarse no effects are added afterwards, all in one take. Not that my poor skills should fool anyone but... I am not sure when I will submit. Need to digest this and find some more bugs probably."

Voice bot for iOS Now Available

voice bot - robot, monkey, mexican, cat beard

Published on May 27, 2013 humbletune·50 videos

"This is my little test song for voice bot, sorry Imogen Heap for borrowing a few chords from you. This is a channel vocoder I have been working on, and I have been going back and forth, if I should release it or not. The reason mostly being that it takes a bit of effort from the user. Clearest I think the sound gets if you speak slow and articulate, in this sample though I kind of more sang, dragging some of the letters. Also, a mix of your voice and the vocoder could work too.

Well, I have decided to submit it anyway, I think it makes some cool sounds. It should be available soon and it won't be too expensive."

It is available now:
voice bot - Erik Sigth

"Voice bot is a real time channel vocoder. Using the microphone, your voice modulates the synth resulting in a robot like singing voice. The synth engine, also known as the carrier, comes with the oscillator shapes saw, square, pulse and noise and a pitch lfo. For the modulation part of the engine there is amplification settings for 8 frequency bands, frame smudge and sample rate, delay and flanger. There is also a minimalistic sampler and support for midi keys and Audiobus.


+++ microphone input.
+++ oscillator (saw, square, pulse and noise).
+++ 8 band amplification.
+++ frame smudge.
+++ sample rate.
+++ pitch lfo.
+++ delay.
+++ flanger.
+++ self adapting input gain.
+++ output gain.
+++ core midi (usb/wifi).
+++ Audiobus (output, effect and input)."

op-1 +shapesynth midi mapping work in progress

Published on May 12, 2013 humbletune·51 videos

"Hi. I am reworking the midi mapping for shapesynth, improving it and making it default to the op-1 layout. Also, in this beta you can see I have worked on animating the tape :), cool stuff. Took me a while to get that working without using too much processing, and the on screen keys have been improved a bit, sliding in to ways. Sliding up from below to sit over the current window and sliding as you can slide fingers between keys, all multi touch. Should have been like that from start."

nils +sphero light/control test

Published on Apr 4, 2013

"This is a test using sphero with nils. It is also using audiobus connecting sinusoid as an input to nils. Sphero streams gyroscope data to nils, which is used to control the sample rate (or any other 3 parameters the user chooses) and nils sends sound meter data to sphero, to control its light. Coming soon. I am pretty excited anyway...

Voice +kalimba iOS beta demo

Published on Nov 18, 2012 by humbletune

"This is my new application I have been playing with. It is a real time sound effect machine with a looper. I think I will submit this for review today. Minor changes have been made since the recording of this video, but it will be pretty much the same.

Will have export to email, sound cloud and MAPI audio copy."

"Real time bitcrush, sampler and looper.

Nils is a real time sound effect machine with a minimalistic looper. It comes with bitcrush, delay and gain for distortion. As input you can use the internal microphone, your earpods or accessories like iRig. Can also be used as a sampler, by holding the delay buffer and changing its phase. Lo-fi looping for both beginners and professionals.

+++ Real time.
+++ Bitchrush.
+++ Sample rate (1 Hz - 44100 Hz).
+++ Delay.
+++ Hold delay buffer.
+++ Play delay buffer.
+++ Gain (goes up to 11).
+++ Limiter.

Sphero Orb Controller for Android & iOS

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. "How much tech can you pack in a 3 inch sphere? Start with a sensor network – multi-axis rate gyro and accelerometer – fused together with the same kind of math that took Apollo to the Moon. Power it with lithium polymer batteries that are inductively recharged through the shell and add a Bluetooth-based command and control data link. Finally, mix in over-the-air firmware updates and internally sandboxed language extensions and you have a true robot that is an intelligent component of a smartphone app-based gaming, learning, and human-machine interaction system. Driving Sphero from the central app is just the start. An open API for iOS and Android invites developers around the world to dive right in…Oh, and Sphero is just fun."

"Pixel Tune is a little pixel drawer app that makes pretty tunes from your creations. Either approach it from a painter's point of view or a more musical, or perhaps combine your skills in both subjects. Anything is possible, let those retro dreams come to life…

|| A word from the developer ||
This app is a bit of an experiment and a test. I got the idea one night when I could not sleep. In these days of retina displays and high density screens, the limitations of low resolution images really fascinates me and music is one of my favourite things in this world. So, here we are… :) || ERik ||"

Kinetic is a music instrument inspired by the inside of a maracas, however it is not a percussive instrument. Notes are represented by bouncing balls that make sounds when they hit a wall and gravity is determined by the location of your device, using the accelerometer. Switch between scenes in order to create chord structures.

Sinusoid is an 8 bit music tracker/sequencer sound toy. It has four channels, 2 sine, 1 square and 1 drum channel. Sound controls are attack, decay and tremolo. Other features are copy, paste, save and load. Sinusoid is inspired by retro games and almost forgotten trackers..."
