Simple (score-level) Models
wind and wind chimes
Links
Here are a few:
- Sound on Sound articles
-
Rabi sent me this link. I didn't realize these had been
posted on-line. Sound on Sound is a well-known "recording
studio" magazine, and they published these in a series awhile ago.
They're basically aimed at synth/analog users, but the information
about basic DSP and synthesis techniques is pretty good.
- pmpd (Physical Modelling for pd) objects
-
this is the collection fo objects you can use to model control-level
physics. Orginally done for
pd,
there is a Max/MSP port (scroll down the page for the link)
- STK
-
the Synthesis TookKit, by Perry Cook and Gary Scavone. This
is a sample/instrument level collection, but full of good ideas
(see especially the "phisem" instruments coded by Perry). We
may be taking a closer look at this later in the term. The
RTcmix MBANDEDWG instrument we used for the wind chimes came from
this collection.
Class Patches and Code
- g6611-week2-maxpatches.zip
-
the max/msp patches we developed in class for the wind model and the
wind chimes model. I added a final "chimes6.maxpat" with a little
more randomness on the parameters and a different MBANDEDWG preset.
Check it out!
- RTcmix-scores.tar
-
archive of the RTcmix scores used in the patches (these will run
with the 'native' RTcmix, on linux for example).
- dlooch
- windytree.txt
-
"windytree.txt" is the RTcmix score from my dlooch
Mac Dashboard App. The score is only one cycle, so you will have to
run it repeatedly to hear the different "winds". You can run it
directly with the CMIX command in a terminal window, or just paste it
into a [rtcmix~] object in Max/MSP.
- KobayashiIIR.txt
-
Akira sent this to me, it's a beautiful IIR score done several years
ago by Ryoho Kobayashi, one of his former students. Although it
isn't chasing after the "wind" sound, it's very similar in design
to what we did in class.
Assignment
