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, [...]

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 [...]

A little while back we posted a video called Generative Lines Experiment #1 demonstrating a simple line-structure based quartz composer composition I wrote. Here at FlipMu we love giving out our little creations, and for a long time have talked about releasing some of the quartz patches we have kicking around. So we thought, what better [...]

Nuance is a multi-track recording software created to capture synchronous multimodal, heterogeneous, data-streams. Essentially, Nuance is like a traditional DAW; however, not only can it record audio, but it can also record data via MIDI, OSC (Open Sound Control), and Serial data streams (such as custom arduino-based controllers). This makes it possible to record performance and gesture [...]
The GrainStretch.ens is a Reaktor patch that streams in audio and allows you to independently change the pitch and speed through a custom granular engine written in core. Everything is labeled, so feel free to go in and start messing with it all. Also, there is a panel B with more controls for creating Grain [...]
