A Csound Halloween

Happy Halloween Csounders! hallown.orc hallown.sco

Valentines Day

A romantic song. valentine.orc valentine.sco

New Age

A flute riff based on a pretty good waveguide flute, some ocean wave sounds and a plucked instrument. newage.orc newage.sco

TeknoBubble

Sort of a techno song. This makes use of some unusual resonant filter techniques. Metal bass passes the resonance portion of the signal through a waveshapping table to add some heavy distortion. Another one uses two resonances tuned 1/5th apart, another tracks the rms of the resonance and uses it to control an FM oscillator, another tracks the rms of the resonance and uses it to control filtered noise. tekbbl.orc tekbbl.sco

Analog Synthesis

rezfiltr.orc rezfiltr.sco

This set of instruments is based on a 2-pole resonant low-pass filter I wrote.

  • Table based filter instrument
  • PWM instrument
  • Distortion filter
  • Filtered Noise
  • Buzz instrument
  • FM Based Rezzy Synth
  • 4 Pole Rezzy
  • 6 Pole Filter
  • Mandelbrot's Snowflake Waveform with 4 Pole Filter
  • Flowsnake Waveform with 4 Pole Filter
  • Saw Ramp Transform
  • Oscillator Sync

Modular Synthesizer

modular.orc modular.sco

Unfortunately this one is sort of a pain to use and keep track of where all those a-channels are going.

Modules:

  • Simple Trigger
  • Keyboard Trigger
  • Envelope
  • Table LFO
  • VCO
  • VCF
  • VCA
  • Mixer
  • Channel Clear

Drum Machine

Band Limited Analog

This is the beginning of a composition I've started which makes use of band limited analog like waveforms and a resonant filter. It's tentatively entitled "Temple of Tyria" temple.orc temple.sco

  • LFO
  • Envelope
  • Band Limited PWM
  • Rectangle Wave
  • Sawtooth Wave
  • 2 Oscillator Sawtooth Wave
  • Ramp/Saw Transform (needs work)
  • "Analog" Delay

Waveguide Physical Modeling

physmodl.orc physmodl.sco

These insturments are based on waveguide physical models.

  • Karplus-Strong Algorithm: A csound version of the classic plucked string algorithm.
  • A Waveguide Bass: A waveguide bass implementation.
  • Stinson's Weird String
  • J. O. Smith's Reed Instrument: A waveguide clarinet-like instrument derived from Smith's instrument.
  • Perry Cook's Slide Flute: A waveguide flute based on Perry Cook's instrument.
  • Perry Cook's Clarinet: A waveguide clarinet based on Perry Cook's instrument.
  • Wave Drum1: Bell like tones

Feed-Back Filter

Tone Wheel Organ with Rotating speaker effect

Basic Organ without deflectors in the leslie.

rotorlsl.orc rotrolsl.sco

Advanced Organ with deflectors, key click and percussion for use with a MIDI file.

rotormid.orc rotormid.sco rotormid.mid

These are my attempts at simulating the classic Hammond B3 organ sound. The advanced organ is actually getting pretty close to the real thing.

TB303 with Sequencer

tb303.orc tb303.sco

This is my first attempt at simulating the TB303.

Advanced TB303

tb305.orc tb305.sco

I added some controls similar to a real TB. Still does not have slide and accent and the first note of the sequence working properly.

Combo Organ

comborg.orc comborg.sco

A first attempt at a combo organ using addition of band limited square waves.
