Showcase

These tracks were done with Pd:

turn the knob

knob is a new gui object for PD based on the IEMGUI-Vslider included in PD. It is now an external instead of a patch and I fixed one bug.

pd-303

pd-303 is a quickly done 303 bassline synth clone. Not all features are implemented. It uses the new antialiased LADSPA oscillator from the SWH-Plugins collection and the vcf303 filter of CMT and also needs pulse from maxlib by Olaf Matthes and the pianoroll external of Yves Degoyon.

pecycle

pecycle is a small mini application for PD build around the bonk~ object. It splits a loop, see my _ example_loops, into smaller parts at the instrument boundaries, that bonk has found, and then plays back the sample splits randomly with a little shwing added to get that instant 2step feeling. You can change the loop sample at runtime and create smooth transitions.

shabby~ 'n shaffy~

shabby~ is a waveshaper using 11 Chebyshev polynoms to generate harmonics from an incoming sinewave. Each polynom will have a signal inlet to specify its amplitude in the signal. You can use shabby~ to have a decent additive synth that allows control over the harmonics in the course of a note at signal rate. But beware: it's not very fast.

Waveshaper

My first exploration of waveshaping. Turn on, tune in, flip out. waveshape.tgz

rx7~

rx7~ might replace PDX7 in the near future. It's a DX7 emulator based on RX/Saturno (==> http://www.reduz.com.ar/rx_saturno/), but realized as an external and it's rather experimental. Get the tarball rx7-020214.tar.gz

pdx7~

text 24 90 PDX7; [ written by Frank Barknecht , 2001 ( is a realisation of 6-Operator FM synthesis modelled loosly after the famous Yamaha DX7. It is not a DX7 emulation, just an exploration of FM synthesis in PD.;
