#AUDULUS TUTORIAL MANUAL#
Rather than automating the spread and pivot I’ve left them standing for manual interaction.
#AUDULUS TUTORIAL PATCH#
I’ve posted a tryout patch on the Audulus forum. Or a central harmonic as a fixed point with deviations (up or down) towards the higher and lower frequencies.
For example, a fixed root with gradualy increasing deviations as the harmonics increase, or vice versa. Fortunately STS and Robert Syrett had already put together a Tiltatron that provided a good starting point for making adustments to the 16 values with a minimum of controls.īy reducing the range of some of the Tiltatron controls, fixing others, and adding a further offset control I manged to set up a controller that could give me the various ‘spread’ shapes I was after with just two parameters – the ‘shape’ control adjusts the intensity and direction of the curves, and the pivot point makes it possible to select a fixed harmonic around which the shape can fold. The good thing about Audulus is that it is well-supported, and I believe there is also an OSX/"desktop" version.Since making some modfications to STS’ Harmonium last week, I’ve been experimenting with ways in which to slightly stretch the pure ratios of the harmonic frequencies, and listening to the timbral changes that result. But the dilemma with modular is always whether you want to make things that make sound and then use them to make sound, or make sounds with things that are already made. That being said, I think if you're serious about starting to learn Audulus you would have to start with watching every single tutorial you could find, and then start experimenting. Granted, it's been a while since I've dug into Audulus, but when I tried the app, it felt more difficult to get something going. Sunvox reminds me a lot of the Nord Modular series where you were given a set of modules and it was up to you to connect them up however you wanted to. Ironically, or not, I actually think that Sunvox is "easier" than Audulus in the sense of it's faster to get up and running when you're starting from scratch. The point is supposed to be unique sound design.
#AUDULUS TUTORIAL HOW TO#
Is Audulus at all "beginner friendly", or would this basically be another "sunk cost" unless I really dedicated myself to figuring out how to use it? Modulars scare the hell out of me because I spend half the time trying to figure out how to set up basic things like on-screen keyboard control or MIDI In/Out that other apps just provide for you in a menu. However, I think of other "cool" modular programs I have like SunVox and Jasuto, and while they are fun to play around with, I feel like I only understand about 10% of what's going on with them, and have never gotten close to the point where I would use it in an actual musical recording (in lieu of some other synth, preset, or sample in another app). It seems to be very well-designed modular synth, and I've seen some interesting things people have done with it (drum machines, sequencers, etc.). I have been "stalking" Audulus for some time on my Wish List.
