Device Overview
Name/Version: | SPECDRUM 1.0 | |
Author: | neilbaldwin | |
Description: | At it's heart, SPECDRUM is a two-track sample-based drum computer but it allows a unique sample to be loaded into each step, the output of which is piped through a synthesis and modulation engine. Both tracks have their own clock dividers, and playback vectors (start, length, speed, direction/mode) but are always in sync with each other and with Live's master clock. The modulation makes heavy use of randomness and probability which can be changed for each cell of the sequencers. There is also a macro control section which enables you to perform modifications to some or all of the sample cells simultaneously. Each cell has it's own independent synthesis/modulation engine comprising: • Sample pitch/speed (and fixed scale mode) • Amplitude modulation • Overdrive • HP/LP resonant filter • AD envelope • Panning and gain control • Sample offset/loop/direction control • Retriggering and probability • And also the ability for the cells to modulate themselves. All of this control can be MIDI-mapped in Live or just interacted with via the UI with a mouse and keyboard. The sample cells themselves can also be played via MIDI, independently of the sequencers. |

one of a kind device. love the experimental appraoch. a bit intimidating at first, but with the documentation so well written it is a fun to explore step by step. if I wished for one thing, then it was a bigger floating window style GUI. ;) |
