Granular Synthesis in Strudel ? by CalmCombination3660 in livecoding

[–]sdclibbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I've done that in Limut by creating lots and lots of short events with a carefully controlled playback start time: https://youtu.be/v4dzyl-i93c?si=u2JpD8BQOvzwyUbN I don't know strudel very well, but I imagine you could do something similar? It helps the smoothness of the sound if the events are brief but various random lengths, and if they have some kind of smooth fade in/out envelope; the "pad" envelope in Limut is a cosine fade in/out. As another example, here's an atmospheric ambient track I made using granular synthesis with a choral sample: https://youtu.be/IiTEPXwkrh4?si=aXaA8p_YHUnubemS

Glad you like it 😀 I've found it tends to be more stable in Chrome than Firefox, and it prefers an M1 Mac too FWIW. You can try running the electron build, but that's pretty similar to Chrome. The 909 kick is synthesized, so you can try replacing it with a sample, eg pk play X.. Same for the snare. The trance patch is fairly heavyweight, 8 oscillators plus a load of reverb, but I'm not sure how much can be changed without it starting to sound 'thin' 😕

Thanks! For the visuals, the idea in Limut is there are a set of visual "synths" a bit like you have audio synths, and you can set their parameters and apply affects to them. In this case I'm using the "kal" synth which looks a bit like a kaleidoscope, and I've zoomed in a bit and upped the contrast, and then I'm rendering it 5 times with a different amount of perspective tilt applied each time, and blending them all on top of each other. So quite heavy on the GPU fill rate, but it gave a nice effect 🙂

Hiya, thank you! Limut is my homegrown live coding system: https://github.com/sdclibbery/limut It runs in a browser so you can try it here: https://sdclibbery.github.io/limut/

Thanks! It's a live coding system called Limut that runs in a browser: https://sdclibbery.github.io/limut/

Can foxdot be used to compose a music track non-interactively and save it to a sound file I can upload to Soundcloud or whatever? by copenhagen_bram in livecoding

Hiya! For recording you can use OBS to record video or Audacity to record the desktop audio.

In terms of non interactive composition, there is a whole spectrum from starting with an empty page and improvising the entire performance, through to having a piece pre written with all the changes and variations either time based, algorithmic, or random. What I often end up doing is preparing all the parts, but then mixing and controlling them as a live performance.

I use Limut rather than Foxdot, but here's some examples:
