Read MoreApple hat neue Apple Desktop Macs rausgebracht, sicherlich mit Penryn Prozessor, ab 2.8 bis 3.2 (oder 3 für den mittleren), alle 3 sind 8Core, bis 32 GB RAM (das ist neu), hoffentlich mit genug RAM beim Kauf, Apple unterfüttert die ja meist. Ansonsten wie bisher. Apples new Desktops now range from 2.8 to 3.2 Ghz and allow 32GB of RAM now, better Grafics (even with 1.5 VideoRAM), all 8 Core architecture (all models). Apple Specs so the first „one more thing“ just 1 week before MacExpo 15.th (January 08) –…

Read MoreWALDORF… silly and old Ideas more silly thoughts on a Wave II or whatever.. and my fave idea (an all purpose 64 Knob boards with diplays for every knob (a 16×2 would be enough for showing parameter names of 6 knobs).. here is some more: first some movies of the WALDORF WAVE film1 film2 basically the waldorf wave is a microwave 1 with lots of extensions, much more voices and more software ;) : 2 Oscillatorss that are „hybridly“ filtered by real analogue filters (whats inside see the CHIPs section).the…
Read MoreWALDORF… Wavetables can be extracted from WAV files using emagic sounddiver (used only today! mac: on apples site for some time, pc: used only) . but what kind of sample makes sense? you might select 10 waves to let sounddiver convert the sample (WAV format) to the wavetable spectra , one single wave is simply one sonic spectra. of course you CAN choose up to 60 waves, but it sounds very rough and isn’t worth it! so my recommendation is: use around 10 waves.. depending on the changing of the…

Read MoreWALDORF… Ideas & things to remember Soundprogramming… how many voices can the microQ do and what about the DSP-power??.. go HERE! > > yesterday I tried to create a bunch of sounds (drones) that share the characteristics of being ‚airy‘. The german word ‚hauchend‘ might describe it quite well, though the similarly named preset is not really what I mean. I tried to use some noise as well as the wavetables with lots of higher harmonics – but it sounded to buzzy and to harsh to my ears. After some…

UPAW wavetables.. how to make some..? 1) Use the UPAW assembler which is available as open source on the FTP-server. 2) Use the Polyframe (atari ST, was what is now sounddiver) Adaption georg müller created back in time for the Atari. 3) Use a Hex-Editor to code the SysEx directly. but normally you can use the ones,that are already in: FM, and some more using sounddiver. upaw…
