Turns out that MacPorts installs dfu-programmer-0.5.4 which doesn’t support the atmega16u2 as a target. I’ve updated the instructions to use HomeBrew which now installs dfu-programmer-0.6.0 Let us know if you run into any problems. http://flipmu.com/work/chronome/changing-the-serial-number/
This tutorial looks at building basic waveforms (Saw, Square, and Triangle), using the Sine Bank Additive Synthesis module. This approach to oscillators allows for the creation of Alias-Free waves, but at the cost of “higher” CPU usage. Additive synthesis also can be used to create interesting inharmonic waveforms, used to create filtering and reverb effects, [...]
I’ve been working on some tutorials for building x0x drums in Reaktor. Be sure to watch them in HD. Part 1 looks at building kicks based off of the roland 808 and 909. We also look at how to calculate the freq and resonance from the schematics. Part 2 looks at building snares using noise [...]
I’ve been working on some tutorials for building vocoders in Reaktor. Be sure to watch them in HD Part 1 looks at using bandpass filters in Reaktor core, along with “abusing” polyphony to dynamically create as many bandpass filters as we’d like. Part 2 looks at using the core BP1 filter to compensate for gain [...]
The GrainStretch is now stereo, and should load up with the main panel screen. It can be downloaded here http://flipmu.com/work/software/
Libmonome and SerialOSC for Chronome have been updated to V1.2, and the connections are now done using IPC instead of zeroconf. Installation should be easier for windows and linux now. The build is done using the ./waf, and instructions have been updated at http://flipmu.com/work/chronome/chronome-serialosc/ The update also fixes a potential issue when two or more Chronomes [...]
Claudio Battista just finished building his Chronome, and he uploaded some pictures of the build process. He also uploaded a video of him playing a sequencer using the Chronome. Very cool to see someone out there using these
This Reaktor Tutorial serves as an introduction to Reaktor, and covers building a two oscillator synth. The video starts with an overview of the Reakor manuals, and then looks at building the synth example from the getting started manual. The example ensemble can be found at flipmu.com/work/software/
NOTE: I’m working on clearing up some inconstancies in the video, and will repost the tutorial shortly. Apologies for any broken links. This is the first in a new series of Reaktor Tutorials that we will be posting on flipmu.com. This video covers the different ways in which you can modulate a Filter in Reaktor, and [...]
I’ve been working on a Reaktor project that required a modified modulo, so I built some modulo core cells based off the IMod Core Macro. I made them both Core Cells and Core Macros. Also, the Divisor is prevented from being <= 0, and the output order of the module is Div, then Mod. I did [...]
