rss feedWind Chimes
It has been a while, but I have been busy with a new work to be released in July, and recently I have spent some time fiddleing with Reaktor, which I have to say is quite good fun.
So, here’s something very simple and a classic in generative music, i.e. a wind chimes generator. I have decided to use only one graph synth in Supercollider (everything happens at “server side”), using a geiger generator (Dust) with varying density as a master clock, and a Demand Ugen as pitch selector. There is also a bit of FM synthesis, which is a nice way to get “tubular” type of sounds in this case. Finally, some delay and reverb.
{
var pitch,env,density,scale,root,sig,mod,trig,pan,volenv;
volenv=EnvGen.kr(Env.linen(10,80,20),1,doneAction:2);
density=LFTri.kr(0.01).range(0.01,2.5);
trig=Dust.kr(density);
root=Demand.kr(trig,0,Drand([72,60,48,36],inf));
pan=TRand.kr(-0.4,0.4,trig);
scale=root+[0,2,4,5,7,9,11,12];
pitch=Demand.kr(trig,0,Drand(scale,inf));
env=EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.001,0.3),trig);
mod=SinOsc.ar(pitch.midicps*4,0,800)*env;
sig=SinOsc.ar(pitch.midicps+mod,0,0.2);
FreeVerb.ar(CombL.ar(Pan2.ar(sig*env,pan),5,0.2,5))*volenv;
}.play;
s.quit;
Here’s how it sounds
