Arabesque MP3 and code
2004-05-13 by Mike Marsh
Hi All - Since NO ONE made any groovy music with the algorithmic generator template thingy I posted (sniff sniff whine whine) I decided to do it MYSELF. So there. The code, ahem, borrows from the Good Dr. Mabuse (the shift register stuff), Brice (lots of stuff) and of course Master Grant (lots of other stuff). I added the note generation code and an array with one octave of the C Major scale. The MP3 was done using the 4 SR outs of the PSIM into 4 MOTM VCOs (two 300s and 2 310s). Each goes into one channel of a Quad Low Pass Gate each channel of which is modulated by an MOTM 800 EG, which is triggered by the gate produces on the AUX of the PSIM. The OUT of one LPG goes to a frequency shifter, one goes to the favorite and very nice MOTM-410 filter, and two go into an Oakley SVF. A total of 8 channels are mixed on my Tascam FW-1880 then into Cool Edit Pro. It's nice that the PSIM has 4 outs and the LPG has 4 ins! Anybody could modify the code generation code and get their own melodies. You could also change the scale used (there is a minor- like scale included in the code, for e.g.). Lot's of possibilities here! Mike
