just finished this

I was initially trying to emulate the obscure "CSM" mode of some Yamaha FM ICs, i.e.

CSM was meant to be used for speech synthesis, but in practice was almost never used. I only have a very rough idea of how it's supposed to work, though. Things kind of just went all stupid from there...

beautiful, love these rich fm sounds
why don't you make abs for each synth sounce?

fuck yeah!!!

new reverb too eh? come on, spill the beans

It's mostly just stuff that I threw together quickly and won't use again. I'll explore the CSM stuff some more, though. It seems to sort of tie together both FM and Casio's phase distortion sine sync "resonant" waveforms. I'm still pondering the possibilities, but it might be useful. So far it's just a really rough prototype.

No, it's just the same old reverbs.

These timbres are totally bitchen! I keep getting surprised by new and exciting sounds and gestures all the way through the piece.

This is great, thanks for sharing. I like the many delicate micro sounds going on in the first piece. Would love to hear a beat-less version too (if possible, of course)!

I fuckin love it! better than Autechre.

@n6 I can maybe do that if I know what sounds you want. Aside from the drum sounds, there are the farty CSM sounds, bass sound and background drone. Would you want all of those included?

@acreil wow, taking requests even! everything is great, I think minus percussive sounds, i.e. hihat, snare, laser kick would be nice to hear too.

I like your work on algorithmic acid for Pd-extended too, was algorithmic techno loosely based on the algorithmic acid patch?

Yes. Beautiful. Just what I needed to dig myself back into a puredata hole.
