An introduction to a newly developed technology.

Packaging options are not decided, but the device needs at least 
10 knobs.

huh?

Have you built this? Can we hear an example?

wow, Grant you have done  it again.

I know one particular packaging option that uses exactly 10 knobs and 20 jacks.. ;)

Looks amazing by the way, put me down for one!

Wow!! Put me down for one!!

Hi.

I get a 404 Object not found on this link. Has it moved?

The server dumped and the most recent backup did not yet 
contain those files.

I have republished the page.

I hope to work on sound samples this weekend.

Bear in mind the technology is so new that not even the 
researcher who authored the paper knows wht the technique 
can do. The only way to find out is to experiment.

That looks amazing and I dig the name too!  I don't quite understand
all of the diagrams but is there a way that this can interface with a
Jag in an in interesting way to move in sort of a 3 dimensional space?

The X/Y output should be a perfect mate with the JAG....  Sort of a
multi-directional Waveform City - (Waveform Country?)

The more I think about this the less clear it gets.   A simple X/Y
joystick controlling the wave and bank inputs of a Waveform City or
Miniwave essentially let you move through a 2d matrix of fixed
voltages right?  A sawtooth into the wave input (on the MW or WC)
modulates the Y (wave) axis in the audio range so you get a waveform
that can be modified with a CV fed into the X (bank) input.

The Walkabout module simply adds audio modulation of both the X & Y
axis right? So with a cleverly designed set of waves in the chip all
sorts of waveform morphing sounds will be possible and the built-in
modulation allows "orbiting" types of patterns?  Is that correct?

Please add my "this is cool" vote, though something similar has been around 
the CSound world for years:

Who is "the researcher who authored the paper" you reference?

Anybody heard anything about this, or better yet seen it?  It's in a 
limited number of theaters now.

Detroit Inst of Arts played it April 18, I missed it then :(, maybe they'll 
play it again.

Okay, nevermind - I still don't understand the difference, but I see the 
difference. Next time I'll read the assignment before I raise my hand - can 
anybody point to this new research?

Thanks, Barry

So then, this will be a 'stand-alone' unit?

Further, I assume that there will be an editor of some sort to 
accompany ...ported to OSX (o'please o'please o'please)?

Here is a more precise explanation, taken from the net.

The original article is:

Mitsuhashi orbiting formula (JAES 30:10)
Journal Audio Engineering Society

Wave signals generated from a 3d surface

Both x and y functions and their first-order
derivatives are continuous over the terrain

Both x and y functions are zero on the
boundaries of the terrain

Ex. Formula
Wave( x , y) = (x -  y)(x - 1)(x + 1)(y - 1)(y
+ 1)
Fairly experimental sound generation

Orbiting the terrain
Fixed orbits
Produce a predictable signal

Time-varying orbits
Produce a signal that varies over time

Meaning FM or Vector modulation.

Here is more

This implements a 2-dimensional table access: F(x,y). It uses the formulas 
; given in Boronovo and Haus for calculating the x and y values:
; 	x = 2fxt + Px + Ix(t)sin(2piFxt + Qx)
; 	y = 2fyt + Py + Iy(t)sin(2piFyt + Qy)
; where 
;	fx, fy, Fx, Fy are frequencies
;	Px, Py, Qx, Qy are initial phase values
;	Ix(t), Iy(t) are "time-dependent orbital parameters," which means
;		the amplitudes of the sine waves which produce eliptical
;               motion through the 3D table.
