The Modular Piano

While 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.

Technically speaking, this lead is very simple to achive (is a sync-based lead) and do not require particular skills to program it.

Sunday Sauce

Sunday Sauce

Oct 19, 2008

To make this sound i’ve recorded a slow boiling sauce, then downpitched by two octaves without retaining the sample length. The sound was then processed by denoising, boosting of interesting frequencies (such as boil pops), compression and ambience has been added through various reverbs and granular processors. A lot of further boosting was needed to...
