State title

gtParticleCloud

Type of sound

Asynchronous Particle Cloud. Animated filter frequencies, delay times, and time pointers. Descending pitch contour at attack of new note. Random pitch sweeps controlled by note intervals.

Controllers

Expression1: “Softness”. Grain envelope modification, higher values give softer attack and faster decay. Grain Duration
Expression2: “Density”. Grain rate
Expression3: Modification of output routing (channel masks)
Expression4: Pan, Timepointer and Source mix animation

Midi keyboard control

Note Number: Pitch transpose of source waves
Velocity: Amp
Interval: Random pitch sweep amount

Suggested source waveform

Slot1: Any Sampled waveform, e.g. Cello.wav
Slot2: Any Sampled waveform, e.g. VibLineDistTone3.wav
Slot3: Any Sampled waveform, e.g. Planet2.wav
Slot4: Any Sampled waveform, e.g. PadWsSeq1_C4.wav
* Sounds with significant timbral variation over time will give more animated results.

Waveform sources/slots used: 1,2,3,4

Mask tables

Channelmask:
A: Bandpass1, occsional Bandpass2. Length 10 grains.
B: Bandpass3, occsional Delay Left and Right. Length 16 grains
* Movement from Bandpass 1 to Bandpass 3 will go via Bandpass 2 and Lowpass

Frequency start mask:
A: No pitch sweep
B: Gaussian pitch distribution

Pitch definition mode

Grain Transpose
Octave: 0
Source waveforms transposed so that note num 69 (middle A) should give a perceived fundamental of 440Hz
The original key stored with each source wave file may be octave displaced, in which case the same octaviation occurs on playback with this state.
