I've been continue to dabble with the #UltraAudio #UltraSynth. This time I am created a more limited set of samples to load (4 velocities per octave) and the results sound decent and would likely work as a "processed" horn sound in #Linux. I have also learned heaps about expressive dynamics in […]

The #UltraAudio synth gets cooler and more amazing as I dig into it. I am excited that it is for #Linux ($) now (as well as the two OSes) and haven given some help to determine if I can get French Horns sounding decent (Swam Horn performance in Windows exported across as multi-samples to then […]

One of the very few reasons I have for booting up into Windows 11 is so that I can use the #AudioModelling #Swam #FrenchHorn #VST. I love how these sound. There really is no way to get this into #Linux. Sigh. However, it's worth it to go there when needed. @flockofnazguls - I loved your Bardo […]

I've just been dabbling with #Sting driving #OsTirus and processing with my #ShermanikFilterbank. Maximally swirthy beats and squonks are possible. I need to figure out if I can explore the #BonkWave probability function in a streaming context. I think I may require another MIDI controller […]

I just got off #Jamulus for the evening where this mad French bass player had me learning a riff with the most wonderful time signature I don't even have a name for. Parts are in 7 and another part is in 5 but the first bit... No idea. Can only play by feel, not by understanding.
