A scuola di Theremin
Free StuffUno stupendo articolo sul Theremin ed il suo utilizzo a cura di Antonio Campeglia per Digitalaudiocentral.
Modular Piano
Sound DesignWhile programming my first library I ran into the need to have an acoustic piano sound. Since I don’t have a real piano to sample, I decided to synthesize it from scratch using “traditional” subtractive synthesis technique. This is my first good result and has been achived only by using basic oscillators, filters and so on. The only downside is the limited polyphony due to heavy CPU usage so I sampled almost every key and mapped them into a sampler in order to make this sound more usable.

DNA Music
Sound Design
Using genetics to make music is very fun. During my researches I found that genetics algorithms are often used to create evolving patterns but, unfortunately, they do not sounds very musical. My approach is to program some Reaktor ensembles using simple yet musically effective genetic tricks to achive evolving rhythms and music patterns.

Stethosphone
Sound DesignThe Stethosphone is an “alternative” miking tool built using a couple of electret mic capsules mounted inside a cheap stethoscope. This instrument is very useful in order to experiment with surface recording from any object and it is good even as new way to record instruments such as guitars, drums and so on.

Ozric Lead
Tutorialsby Carlo Castellano
In this tutorial I will explain how to recreate a lead sound I realized inspired by Ozric Tentacles sounds. Technically speaking, this lead is very simple to achive (is a sync-based lead) and do not require particular skills to program it. This lead can be extremely metallic and “spacey” but it requires realtime controls to play at it best.
For the creation of this lead sound I’ve used a VA, XioSynth from Novation.
