- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 2.06 Description:
Argotlunar is a tool for creating surreal transformations of audio streams.
Specifically, it is a real-time delay-line granulator.
It disintegrates an audio stream into short samples (grains).
Each grain can have random settings of amplitude, panning,
duration, delay, pitch, glissando, filter and envelope.
The output of all grains is mixed together into
a stream which can be fed back into the main input.
Time-related parameters can be synced to the host tempo,
for rhythmic and pulsing textures.
Pitch-related parameters can be quantized for harmonic and melodic effects.
Feedback can create chaotic, densely layered, and distorted sounds.
Most of the parameters can be correlated. Examples:
Filter cut-off correlated with pitch:
Higher filter cut-off for grains with higher pitch, and vice versa.
Grain duration correlated with panning:
Grains with shorter duration panned to the center of the stereo
field, and grains with longer duration panned wide in the stereo field.
Argotlunar is free software. Licensed under the GPL v2.

WhySynth is a versatile softsynth which operates as a plugin for the DSSI Soft Synth Interface. A brief list of features:
4 oscillators, 2 filters, 3 LFOs, and 5 envelope generators per voice.
11 oscillator modes: minBLEP, wavecycle, chorused wavecycle, asynchronous granular, three FM modes, waveshaper, noise, PADsynth, and phase distortion.
10 filter modes.
flexible modulation and mixdown options, plus effects.
DSSI is a plugin API for software instruments (soft synths) with user interfaces, permitting them to be hosted in-process by audio applications. More information on DSSI can be found at:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
WhySynth is something of a mongrel, combining bits from Xsynth-DSSI, hexter, Csound, Mats Olsson's MSS, and various other programs, with inspiration from a number of my favorite long-hair-days synths (Matrix 6, ESQ-1, K4), and wavecycle data resynthesized from Claude Kaber's Virtual K4 samples and //christian's exegesis of the Ensoniq SQ-80 wavetable ROMs. See the enclosed file AUTHORS for more details.
